Depends if you want to play on live or not.

Live is only good for demos, playing online sucks, I'd rather just kill people/play the game missions.

Seems the XBOX360 is cheap to keep, woo :)

Not exactly alot... Not sure what they were trying to prove :/

Isn't the Wii cheapest, if you cut out Live on the Xbox?

I think it said the electricity costs are for 2 hours per day each day of the year.. so 730 hours.

What a load of **** lol.
Their trying to make it look like huge costs. £60 a year isn't a lot. If someone can't afford that they should stick to their PS2.

don't really find what they're trying to do.

i don't really care about the money i've spent, because i've had countless hours of fun.
