Better Value? Sony's PlayStation 3 or Microsoft's Elite 360
Which console does the most damage to your wallet?

Value is difficult to define. Is Microsoft's just announced Elite 360 a better value than Sony's $599.99 PlayStation 3? It depends on what's inside the box and more importantly what isn't. Below we've taken everything that's in both boxes and everything that isn't and made all things equal(ish) between both consoles. Who comes out on top?

The Method

With both consoles missing functionality and features that the other has out of the box (we're not even going to make an online functionality joke, yet) it's important that we try and find the most realistic solutions to problems like the 360's lack of Wireless Internet out of the box or Sony's lack of an HDMI (and component cable) out of the box. For these problems, we're using first party solutions, because we expect that both companies will offer first party solutions. However, as is typically the case, the first party solutions are often times not the most affordable, so we'll include other options to give readers an idea of the potential price range for the products.

The numbers below aren't a perfect solution, this is an inexact science. There are cheaper alternatives and bargains to be found when purchasing accessories. For example, the Monoprice HDMI cable is just a fraction of the SonyStyle first party HDMI cable. Or for some consumers, maybe next-gen DVD doesn't matter, so they could knock $199.99 off of the total cost of a "complete 360 experience."

We included the cost of Live, not as a measure of Live versus PlayStation Network, but because of the most basic level of functionality that PlayStation Network allows. Out of the box, players can play online with and against other players for free. At the most basic of levels, in order to do the same on the Xbox 360, one has to pay for the service. Obviously, we recognize that Xbox Live in its current form offers a much more feature-rich online experience than PlayStation Network. But, in order to play against other people online on both platforms -- you have to pay on one and not the other. The numbers reflect that.

Microsoft's Xbox 360 Elite Includes:
* HDMI Output
* 120 GB Hard Drive (available separately for $179.99)
* Wired-to-controller Headset
* Wireless Controller
* Component Cable
* Composite Cable
Price: $479.99

# Next-Gen disc format support: HD-DVD Add-on for Xbox 360 -- $199.99
# Wireless Internet support: Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter -- $99.99
Other Options: D-Link DGL 3420 -- $79.99
WGA54G Wireless G-Gaming Adapter -- $83.15
# Charge and Play Kit for Controller -- $19.99
# Xbox Live 360 12-month Gold Card -- $49.99
Total: $369.96
_____

$849.95
This number declines sharply if next-gen disc formats (subtract $199.99) aren't a priority to you as a consumer, or if consumers have no interest in wireless connectivity (subtract the cost a WiFi solution -- $79.99-$99.99 of the solutions we listed).

Schap de HD-DVD add-on en de wireless zooi en je zit goed.

Ze rekenen wel goed door: de duurste HDMI kabel; de duurste headset. Die kabel is trouwens een pak goedkoper in Europa.

ik heb een HDMI kabel gekocht, maar niet van sony.
Er stond 24K gold op enzo hij was 55 E
Is het een goede kabel?

Ik denk dat je veel te veel betaald hebt, kabel van Sony kost de helft en in televisiewinkels vind je ze nog goedkoper.

Ik dacht ook dat ik te veel heb betaald, daarom vroeg ik het voor de zekerheid. Maar ja ik wilde z'n HDMI kabel heel graag en in mijn stad had niemand die kabel van Sony
