Microsoft is selling the HD add on for 99.99 from what most sources say. Plus this christmas all the 360's will come bundled with them for 399.99. Microsoft was planning on dropping the price 100 bux instead they are bundling the HD-DVD player with it. Not to shabby!! All around 360 has the same graphical power, both ATI and Nvidia chips in each of these boast the same power. The PS3 just has the new Cell technology which in all honestly won't be used for quite some time. The power the 360 has is plenty to run any next gen game out there. Plus the fact Microsoft has bought most of Sony's support on games, except for MGS or GT... The online gaming for microsoft is just that **** good too. I mean its only 50 a year come on people. Both systems are awesome, but the fact is Microsoft has an edge with support and being that it has the same graphical power. Processing yes can make the game run smoother and maybe give u a few extra frames. Still its not enough to go ballistic about. 360 right now is the better choice! Oh and in Feb they are adding the directv blade to the main menu for recording shows and watching tv. Cool stuff to look foward to, also march is Halo 3 people one of the biggest games for any system.
