How anyone can think this is still a better or equal deal to the PS3 is beyond me. The PS3 offers so much more right out of the box, it's not even funny.
The 360 doesn't even have a High-Definition movie player included in the system. For Christ's sake, you get one of the best, if not the best Blu Ray Player(s) on the market, AND a reliable next-generation gaming console with an excellent software library to boot.
Every console has its benefits, but to think that this nullfies the value that the PS3 offers is ridiculous.
no one cares about blu-ray. maybe u forgot that the movies are 30 dollars. What a waste of POOP if you ask me when u can get just stream movies off NetFlix. ANd IMo, consumers are still satisfied with DVD quality.
Any gamer is going to buy game consoles for the games. A lot of people like the exclusives that the 360 has over the PS3 exclusives, and a lot of people prefer xbox live over the PSN. Yes, the PS3 has better specs and more features blah blah blah, but in the end you buy the console to play games.
So yea, the PS3 is an attractive piece of hardware at a very attractive price point, but until Sony gets the software up to speed with microsoft, a lot of gamers will still buy 360's.

Ah, still living in the past where people still think the PS3 has no games? Your argument is invalidated right here and now.
I care about Blu-ray. After watching 1080p HD video on my HDTV, it's hard to go back to SD content. And if you think all Blu-ray movies are $30, you haven't shopped around.
Also, are you one of those consumers that "are still satisfied with DVD quality"? If so, do you own a Xbox360 and have it connected to a HDTV? If you do, I implore you to change your video settings to 480p standard-def and see if you are satisfied with "DVD quality".
