X360 Elite: $480
Xbox Live Gold x 5 years: $270
Wireless Adapter: $100
HD-DVD: $200
-----
PS3 60GB: $600
*USB Headset: $5
or
*Bluetooth Headset: $25
*HDMI Cable: $8
or
*Sony Component Cables: $18
Universal 120GB HDD: $65
Add 'em up, the price differences are staggering.

Also, I must say that anyone paying full price for XboxLive gold is a fool. The subscriptions go on sale periodically. I've paid $30 canadian for 2 years of Xbox Live gold, which is a fair price regardless of how you look at it.
