Penny Arcade has an interesting commentary on the shift of the discussion back to the PS3 being a good machine. One of the things that's helping that is the "free" aspect of the online gaming as it's now understood. That, as Tycho says, is regardless of how good the offering is. Yet hey manages to break it down to an interesting small table:

Console life cycle = 4 years
1 year Xbox Live service - ~$50
4 x 50 = $200, or the Price Difference Between the 360 and the PS3.
