Ok, here' s a new one: with Sony' s announcements today they' ve issued a titled " Next-generation Console Comparison Fact Sheet," (downloadable here [DOC]) so let' s see some facts. First up, were you aware that to use your Xbox 360 Core system you' re required to buy the 20GB drive add-on, an HD DVD drive, a wireless controller, and an Xbox Live sub? We weren' t either. But hey, it says right there, " requires users to buy" and this is, in fact, a " fact sheet." Of course, none of that' s actually true, and what' s more, were one to use the Xbox 360 Premium console pack in that chart instead of the Core pack, the total would be $399 for a console with that very same hard drive, wireless controller, and Xbox Live Silver subscription (which provides access to everything but multiplayer) -- remember, kids, an HD DVD drive is not required to do anything but watch high def movies -- it has nothing to do with high def gaming. We hear Microsoft ain' t too happy about this chart either and is preparing certain legal action, namely because it could be misleading to otherwise unwitting retail employees selling customers game consoles this holiday season. Go figure.
