Sony posted THIS at their Gamer's Day: 
They're doing it to mislead people.
Points stated by website:
-Individual PS3 games not yet determined to be paid for playing online.
-You don't NEED the HD-DVD for gaming.
-Obvious Wii note there. That's for the friggin' internet browser.
-Anybody REALLY need wireless? Oh, hey, didn't Sony say you can't replace the battery in the Sixaxis either?
Oh, fuck me, I found it: http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/s...hus-costs-700/
And from the original link in the first post: Quote:
You would think this is the creation of some half-joking Sony loyalist, but this is actually what Sony is using for marketing. Not only does it compare the cost of online, which is pointless right now since it’s still not clear if developers will charge individually on the PS3, but the way they add up the supposed price of the Xbox 360 is just 100% dishonest.
First off, they use the Core Xbox 360 price of $299, but then they add on $100 for the HDD, and $50 for the Wireless controller. I’m surprised they didn’t also add in $20 for a headset too. Anyways, the Xbox 360 ($399) comes with both the HDD and the Wireless controller (as well as High-Def cables and a headset, neither come with either PS3 model). The only way you’d end up paying the amount they’re adding up for the Xbox 360 is if you’re trying to waste money.
Then we have the HD-DVD drive. This is an optional add-on that will be used for HD-DVD movies only. It has nothing to do with games, but of course, that is why Sony is trying to focus on it. When you have nothing to compete in the games arena, move into technical numbers that are construed in such a way that it’s blatant intention is to confuse the mainstream consumer.
Microsoft is aware of this, and it seems they’ve had enough of the Sony hype train. It seemed MS and Sony were content with making jabs at each other back and forth in interviews, but when it comes to flat-out lying to retailers and customers, something else must be done. Microsoft is preparing legal action against this, so we can add one more lawsuit to the Sony pile.

That whole chart never says anything listed there is required, it just is showing that all of those different things are incorporated into the cost, and if you were to deck out the other consoles to their full capabilities, or at least the 360, you'd end up paying more than 500. By saying that the chart claims it's required to buy an HD-DVD drive to play games, you're making an incredibly incorrect statement. It's an effective tool for advertising I think because it's actually true.

At least least Microsoft isn't suing Sony for releasing a gaming console... in America!

Isn't Sony tired of law suits and being such low life business people? They used to be such a respectable company but now they're looking more like a band of losers. Could it be because they're actually losing money lately and are panicing? Either way, Sony is way too full of themselves and deserve whatever situation they place themselves in. Maybe then they'll finally get some sense again and go back to being a decent company.

Sony has lost all of their remaining credibility these past few months. It's nice to see Microsoft fight back.
