I am in no way a Xbox fanboi, I just prefer it to the PS3. As a machine I still hold the PS3 is far superior to the 360. Not to mention I have had 10+ 360's brick between me and my bro and I am still on my launch PS3.
or how about having the balls to charge $170 for a 250gb hard drive. my first gen Xbox 360 is still doing fine, but the 20gb drive just isn't cutting it anymore. so i looked to upgrade just that and was floored at how much i'd have to spend, hell i just bought a 1 Terrabyte drive for my PC for $70 (which i could install in my PS3 no problem, because they use standard SATA drives). so now i'm probably just gonna spend the extra $130 and get one of the new slims that includes a 250gb drive and all the extra stuff my old 360 doesn't have

i guess that's Microsoft's ploy, make their hardware upgrades so damn expensive that it's an incentive to buy a whole new machine. they suck
