Let's see....
XBox 360 Core + memory card, which is FULLY functional and plays all the games and does downloads - $324
PS3 60gig (they don't sell the 20 Gig anymore) - $599
Looks like nearly double to me.
Only "bias" I have is that I'm a cheap-ass gamer.
Does the PS3 have more extras than the 360 Core? Sure, at twice the price it better well have more.
The fact of the matter is, if I'm Joe Sixpack wanting to play the latest Madden online with my other Sixpack Pals, I'm looking at the difference of getting out of Best Buy for $385 vs $660 plus tax ($416 vs $714 locally). It's a no brainer.

How many card games do you need? Two apparently. Bomberman, Zuma, and Catan are not card games.
How about buying a 360 and a copy of Ninja Gaiden Black? Makes even more sense to me.
