Over on Amazon.com they're offering the complete HD Xbox 360 media experience, bundling together an Xbox 360 Elite, HD DVD player and seven HD DVD movies for the discounted bundle price of $599. The offer's seven free movies are calculated by adding together the five HD DVDs from the "Perfect Offer", King Kong HD DVD that's included in the box and the 300 HD DVD. In the end, you'd be saving around $50 over purchasing everything separately. And we can't help but make a Xbox 360 versus PS3 comparison; buy an Xbox 360 Elite with 120GB HDD and HDMI cable, HD DVD player, and seven HD DVD movies for $599 or a PS3 with 80GB HDD with no cables included, Motorstorm, Blu-Ray player, and five Blu-Ray movies for $599. Decisions, decisions...

Nuff said.
Oh and you think I'm making it up?

Remember, the PS3 has built-in Wi-Fi and free online. It also doens't need an external fan (which we all know any 360 needs). So the REAL total is:

Now which is cheaper.

It also offers a HD player that has a future in the market. But how is a format supposed to compete when it doesn't have the movies? Blu-Ray simply has more support in every area, not to mention every PS3 owner is a potential Blu-Ray customer. And not to mention the blockbuster and target announcements.

Exactly. My PS3 has never shutoff because of it. And also, even if I did add an Intercooler to the price of a PS3, it's still cheaper.

+20 years of XBL adds up to $1,728. Plus the DLC which MS will force you to buy not to mention.

Remember, you can buy an Xbox 360 with Forza 2 and Marvel UA for $349.99. Also, it includes the new 65nm cpu and an hdmi port on every SKU. Both the PS3 and 360 are great machines, but I'd say that 360 is a must own console this year, and PS3 is a must own console next year.

That might be true, the thing puts out a lot of hot air... but, it's designed to - thus not needing to buy extra hardware to cool something that should have been built properly in the first place(i.e. 360).

My 360 would be, you'll need to buy a cable,I wont :)

I use ethernet cable, im not subscribed to Live and I dont have an external fan. Those accesories you added aren't even needed.

My 360 is on for about 16 hours, minimum of 14 and its perfectly fine. My PS2 gave me more problems than my 360 has.

The 360 doesn't need a cooler. I've had mine since launch in Australia and it is cool 'n' cozy.

So don't give me that "real total stuff"
You don't need Wi-fi to play games and HD-movies.
Oh and How about
PS3 $600
+ Cables $40 - 60
+Blu Ray remote $25
= $670 Just to play movies and games at their proper output.

Or they could buy the 60 gig PS3 for $500 with 5 free blu ray movies?

No offense, but anyone who pays over 10 bucks for a HDMI cable, deserves to get ripped off. You can get one on monoprice for like 4 bucks and it works perfectly.

Also, you can use the controller to control movies..

My PS3 was way cheaper than my 360 I had to buy the 360 at retail price, I traded my Wii for a PS3 straight up. People have Wii fever so bad they will do anything to get one.

I strongly agree now which is cheaper? Xbox 360 vs PS3 in price value, ps3 is the clear winner. Xbox360 isnt worth it if you think about it. Everyone thinks xbox360 is worth more than ps3 but ps3 is worth more. Also the blu-ray is not only $300, its $400-$1000!

Um, sorry gentlemen, I've seen a 7 Blu Ray deal with the $500 PS3 before. Sorry, TC, no cigar.

Who gives a crap? You can get the $500 60GB version with the 5 blu-rays deal. Plus it has a memory card reader, wifi and 60GB unlike that 360 bundle...

Xbox 360 can't take full advantage of HD-DVD. It's a nerfed HD-DVD player. :D

Not really, only on certain areas and you have to leave it on for quite a while. Plus it's better to be hot on the outside of the consoles than hot on the inside (360)

But you are getting a vastly superior gaming console when you buy the 360 bundle.
