This morning Kotaku posted a very interesting new comparison between the new PS3 Slim and the 360 Elite. Below is the breakdown from their comparison...
| PS3 Slim | Xbox 360 Elite | |
| Price | $299 | $299 |
| Color | Black | Black |
| Hard Disk Size | 120GB | 120GB |
| USB Ports | 2 | 3 |
| WiFi | Built-In | $99 Add On |
| Disc Drive | Blu-ray/DVD/CD | DVD/CD |
| HDMI | Yes, no cable included | Yes, no cable included |
| Bluetooth | Yes | No |
| Controllers Included | One | One |
| Last Generation Backwards Compatibility | No | Partial |
| Online Play | Free | $50 a year |
| Dimensions | 290 × 65 × 290 mm | 310 x 80 x 260 mm |
| Weight | 3.2 kg | 3.5 kg |
As you can see, on paper the PS3 seems to finally have the upped hand. For the same price, you get Built-In WiFi, a Blu-ray player and Free online service.
Of course, you still have to conceder some of the other facts. The 360's online service Xbox Live is the best online gaming service hands down and the 360 also has exclusive Netflix service. Not to mention, Microsoft could throw a wrench in the whole thing by offering yet another price cut for the 360.
Still, for the price the new PS3 Slim is going to be hard to beat. Sony also has a great looking line of game coming out this year and next. With such titles as God of War 3, The Last Guardian, Uncharter 2 and Heavy Rain, if you've been on the fence about getting one, now may be the time.
