Now, I'm not saying that what EA did was super fantastic and not gouging, but they didn't start the trend. They just realized people will pay.

Yeah, I don't think its nessicarily EA's fault for starting it. It just that a lot of EA games suck so they're easy to pick on (plus they have the best selling PC game of all time and its ridled with add ons), but I agree completly with you. That's one of the things that turns me off about Xbox 360 in general too. (Yeah I know now I'll make some enemies~)
But on Ps3 out of the box you're getting a good wireless controler, 120 Gig HD, full internet features, a wireless router, and a Blu ray player (which for the sake of comparision, lets call it a "HD Movie player").. All of which I utilize. And all of which come in the $299 package.
If I bought a 360 with all of those features, I'd be spending over $500 to get it rolling, then another $50 per year.. Not that I think its horrible to buy a watered down package to make it cheaper, but when Ps4 ends up being worse then Ps3 out of the box to make it cheaper.. we can't really blame Sony.
