Default which one is more of a luxury gift a ps3 or xobox 360 elite.

What is most luxurious? According to cnet.com a xbox 360 elite is more of a luxury gift than a ps3.

Well they did have a couple other Sony products on that list, so I guess they didn't want to look like fanboys.

PS3 is not a luxury. It's a friggin' necessity of life, like food and shelter

If you look at the rankings it gives the XBOX 360 Elite a 8.5 rating and the
PS3 60 gig an 8.8!

elite doesn't have wifi or an hd player, that easily trumps the extra 80 GB. remember too that the elite only has HDMI 1.2 whe the ps3 has 1.3. Elite would have better bc. its pretty close, we are talking about the 40GB PS3, because the 80GB or 60GB destroy the elite in terms of quality.

Yeah... the PS3 is more of a home media necessity. Not a luxury.

I've said this before and I'll say it again; the PS3 is the BEST thing I've ever bought.

considering how even the lower 360s are getting HDMI the Elite only has its giant harddrive going for it.

Negatives: no wifi, no built in HD movie player, incredibly poor reliability

PS3 wins by a longshot.

Are you indicating that there is a bias because CNET is part of Ziff Davis Media, and that Ziff Davis Media is in a partnership with Microsoft http://www.ziffdavis.com/press/releases/060802.0.html
