I have recently been playing my Xbox a lot and now i am not afraid to say I am addicted to it. but the thing that confuses me is why it costs so little. so i sat down, did some thinking and came up with an idea which is 100% true. Xbox are ripping us off!

now many of you may be thinking "how are they" as it is about £200 cheaper than Sony's equivalent but if you think about all the things you have to buy for it, they really are! If you would like to connect wirelessly to the internet and not have the somewhat short Ethernet lead coming out of the Xbox and into your router, that’s £60! which for some people is a lot of money to be chucking around where as on the PS3 it is built into the console. now we come to the biggest rip off, Xbox live. we as individuals spend a lot of money on this, £5 a month sounds cheap, but when you do some maths and calculate how many months in a year etc it works out quite a lot to be spending money on just to play your friends.I’m now going to move into the more positive side of things and talk about how good the Xbox is. First of all the graphics are truly astonishing which gives the PS3 a real run for its money.
