I was dead set on getting a 360 shortly after Ninja Gaiden 2 came out. Free wireless was one factor that gave me pause ($100 is ridiculous). Other factors were Microsoft charging $180 for a 120GB hard drive when Sony lets you replace/upgrade with any old 2.5 SATA drive, Wal-Marts $100 gift card at the time, and Metal Gear. What really turn the decision for me was the $50/year for online play. I love online games, but I just don't play enough to justify the extra cost. I probably won't buy another system for 6+ years if ever, and the Xbox would cost me an extra $300+ at that point. Microsoft just loves to nickel and dime it's customers after the initial purchase. Although I think they should, I don't see them changing anytime soon. In reply to: "Why Xbox Live gaming should be free for all"
