Besides that Microsoft really nickel and dimes you for everything other than the base system. Headset: extra, wireless: extra, HDD: extra.
With a PS3 you're wireless out of the box, you can use blue tooth or an existing USB headset for your PS3, any USB keyboard and mouse is compatible with your PS3. Some games can actually be played like traditional PC games. Not to mention if you don't like how much space you have on your PS3 you can buy more, a PS3 uses standard laptop 2.5MM, 5400RPM HDD. NewEgg is selling a 500GB HDD that is compatible for the PS3 for only $99, I'm getting that in a few weeks. And because the PS3's firmware, system settings and network ID information are saved in separate areas, swapping HDDs only erases your games saves.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. Haas and I will get you set up Nite. If there are any two bigger PS3 guru's around here than Haas and I, point them out.
