Each of the consoles are great, but personally I feel the 360 is the best value for money -especially as its been out much longer.

I think the information on the PS3 is not complete, the PS3 ( a I understand) has a Ethernet port (in both models)

also, I'm not sure if bluetooth or USB are online connectiviy options…

The console war is absolutely part of Gigaom and a discussion of telecom. Anyone who says different doesn't realize that Microsoft is the biggest residential VoIP carrier in the U.S. with its Xbox Live voice features.

Grisham,

i am not sure what you mean by that. i think the consoles are about broadband, and how they are actually going to play a big role in consumption of the bandwidth coming into your home. it is also important to understand their implications from a browser/app standpoint as well.

Actually there's a huge telecom impact from Next-gen and in general gaming consoles.. this is not kotaku but wake up when you use video chat over IP w/voice on XBL don't you think it eats of wireline/wireless ARPU?

Confirmed - GigaOM should stick to telecom stuff, or did I get confused and this is Kotaku?
