Sony email: PS3 a great value, Xbox "a burden on the wallet"

Here's a little Friday flamebait for ya. An email from Sony made the rounds at Joystiq earlier this week, extolling the virtues of the Playstation 3, specifically its value. The email included the above chart, which makes it abundantly clear that the PS3 offers the most bang for the buck, while the Xbox 360 requires add-ons and the Wii lacks features. A choice selection from the email claims that the Xbox "requires" several add-ons that put "a burden on the wallet and adds clutter to the entertainment center." We're not really sure how the hard drive and WiFi adapter add clutter, especially considering they both attach directly to the console. Then again, we're not PR experts.

We do have to hand Sony the fact that Xbox lacks built in WiFi -- the $99 adapter is a tough, oddly shaped pill to swallow -- but the other comparisons are just charming.
