PS3 outsells 360 in Australia

[Terjyn]

The 40 Gig was the best selling model even when the 80 gig was still easy to find.

First, are there still people who complain about the PS3 price?

There sure are. It's easy to find threads on pretty much any message board talking about video games to find threads about how the PS3 *needs* a price cut.

What prompted my post is a friend of mine just went out and bought a 360 Arcade. Ok, fine. Then he promptly bought a 120 Gig Hard drive and Xbox Live Gold for a year. Then he started talking about how he bought a "cheaper system".

Why is it that the majority of people who buy the "cheaper 360" end up with a higher entry cost?

At least Microsoft isn't as bad as Nintendo, who sell you a Wii for 250$ but by the time you are controller'd out and all set up you've spent like 600$ (for those who are hardcore gamers). To be fair this isn't as big of a problem anymore, now that most games will use any controller.
