Just in my opinion I don't need the wireless adapter so that doesn't bother me. Plus wireless connections aren't as fast as being connected directly into the modem. True, PS3 has a bigger hard drive, but can you swap out the hard drive and take it to a friends? Or what if the hard drive fails on your PS3, you have to send in the whole thing, whereas with 360 you can just pop of the hard drive and still use the system. Theres not really a need for two plug and play kits, when you can charge one at a time, plus the batteries last a long *** time.

We can argue on and on, but when it all comes down to it, everything is based on opinions and what extra crap you want to have with it.

I wasnt comparing the base 360 to the PS3, I was saying that what I meant in my post abotu wireless was referring to the network, not controllers.

The guy said that the xbox had wireless controllers too, I just said the base one didnt. Thats all.

Im not trying to argue anything, I am just saying you are getting more than just blu-ray for the additional money. I am not saying its worth the extra $200 to anyone, just merely pointing out there are more differences than just built in HD.

No you dont need a plug and play kit for each but you do need a rechargebale battery for each controller, so its an extra $12 per controller.

Like I said along time ago I have both and they both have their positives. At this time the 360 is a better bet because of the amount of games out right now.
