why wouldn't I complain about the price difference? I don't want a blue-ray high def DVD player so why should I pay for it? Sure microsoft took the attitude of "if you want this buy it..." with their HD-Drives but I don't want it so why should I have to support it? I'm not a huge fan of a lot of microsoft's stuff but I do believe they are very smart when it comes to business strategy (ruthless too....) and the 360 has wireless controllers....

I'm still in agreeance with you though that microsoft is sucking up the game market.... the PS3 and 360 are both out of my price range right now but I will buy a wii and a 360 when I get a chance (I'm a Halo addict so I've gotta buy the 360 to play it) the PS3 just doesn't have anything for me right now... just like you said it's not the system itself that is hurting as much as it is the lack of support from great games.... I hope someone drags up this post 12 months from now.... I want to see a comparison
