Don't over do it now Cidien (what you men with 'compared to the ps3' anyway?). 360 is alot of fun but I don't see it as a well built system because of the problems mentioned above and the disc read errors that make me go insane on some games. MS wants money for everything. They could have put the battery pack in the controller like sony did and they should have made the rip off called Live free (since we pay $50 to host our own games). They could charge less than $100 for 20gigs or a wireless set. This gen is about cash for them, not making gamers happy.
I understand they did it this way and its a smart move but its not just about making gamers happy.
On the other side I see sony with a console that costs alot but when put next to the 360 offers much much more and needs less peripherals (sp?) compared to ps2 (ethernet adapter, headset, multitap). I always compare the $500 ps3 with the $400 360. $100 gives you the play&charge kit, free online, bluray player, hdmi port, internet browser and full linux kit with its emulators and other uses.
Right now I'm looking for a 1080p bravia screen for a good price so for me the ps3 is the ultimate machine. Now all it needs is the games (btw, anyone seen the insanely good looking gran turismo demo?). 360 is still well ahead in the good games section though.
