Explain.
PS3 is $600 US.
360 is $400 US...BUT. No card reader...no wireless...no HD-DVD/Blu-Ray. Add all 3 of those to the 360 and you are paying well over $700. Do you need all that stuff? Probably not and you will say you don't but a lot of people DO want that stuff. With that considered your getting more for your money with the PS3 than you do with the 360.
1. What do I need wireless for? Heck, why would anyone want to use a wireless connection for a game console? Wired connections are both faster and more stable.
2. I don't need HD-DVD nor Blu-ray, because I don't own an HDTV.

The only thing I would consider useful of those would be a card reader, but that's just because I want to back-up my save files. If that can be done by other means on the 360, I see no use for a card reader. By the time I've got a HDTV, Xbox 720 and PS4 would be on the market.

It's not more expensive in the long run because of upgrades, when I never plan on getting said upgrades.
