I posted this on another forum:

If you get the core you'll need to purchase a memory card, which will set you back $40 for a new one and it's only 64MB. The Wii is $250 and comes with a 512MB flash drive.

$250 with 512MB is a lot better than $340 with 64MB.

And if you want to bring Wifi into the equation, that's about $100.

And Xbox360 online costs $50 a year, while Nintendo has said Wii online will be free.

And the core has a wired controller, which is $10 less than a wireless controller.

And the Wii has constantly updating news and weather. As well as an integrated photo/video editer.

Now, I'd certainly like to pick up a Wii for $200, but let's get real here.

In terms of the actual base price for the systems, then yes, but who'd want to play an Xbox360 without a memory card or a game?

Xbox360 Core Pack + Memory Card + Game = $390-400
Xbox360 Premium Pack + Added Harddrive + Game = $450-460

Wii + Built-in 512MB flash drive + Wii Sports = $250

The Wii is AT LEAST $140 cheaper and at most $210 cheaper. That's a lot, in my opinion.

And just because I can:



Believe it.
