The answer to the question, what if the Xbox 360 Elite dropped to $300 with its exorbitantly priced $100 Wi-Fi adapter included gratis, is easy: It'd be cheaper than Sony's brand new slim-line PS3. About $20 cheaper, in fact, according to my chart, once you've factored in the basic add-in essentials like headsets, HDMI cables, and online multiplayer fees.

Have a look.



$20 cheaper, that is, only if we restrict our estimates to the first year of ownership. After that, the Xbox 360 climbs $50 in out of pocket costs each year if you want firsties on game demos and access to online multiplayer and matchmaking services.
