Strong rumor that a 40GB PS3 w. Spider-Man 3 (BR) will be in Best Buy warehouses by 10/28.

It isn't backwards compatible and is missing 2 USB ports. That's the 2 major differences that have been reported so far.

"cheap" is relative to the buyer of course, but for the technology in it ... compared to the substitutable products on the market ... not cheap, but right in the ball park.


Wii (game machine only, no high def) - $250

Xbox 360 Premium: $399.99
+ HDMI
+ 20GB HDD
+ Halo 3
+ fantastic online support
- no wireless without adapter ... a $100 accessory.

PS3: $399.99
+ HDMI (w. DVI support)
+ 40GB HDD
+ wireless built in
- lacking console titles
- Dual Shock controller lacks vibrating handles
- Playstation Network / Store blows.


The PS3 is a terrific hardware value though.
