Highly Ranked

Squiggleslash, the XBox 360 is only cheaper than the PlayStation 3 if you get the crippled, no hard disk version, and/or decide to cut yourself off from being able to play games with internet opponents.

Of course, lacking a hard disk makes online HD movie rentals problematic to say the least; good luck filling up your much more expensive, slow, and low-capacity memory cards with HD movies.

And, just to spell it out, XBox Live Gold costs $50 a year and is mandatory if you want to play people online, whereas access to the PlayStation Network is free.

Not only is the XBox penny wise, pound foolish, but it actually COSTS MORE to own and use.
