Now that's a funny prediction!  Not only do the xbox fanboys predict
the 360 will be every bit as powerful as the PS3, but it'll also cost
half as much!!  I think you got some wires crossed.  The 360 will cost
every bit as much, and will be half as powerful.  ;-)

Cost half as much?  No, that's not likely to happen but the PS3 will 
probably be more expensive.  Sony has to make up the ****load of money
they 
poured into the R&D of the Cell processor and BluRay drives aren't exactly

cheap either.  The components of the PS3 are so expensive that they can't 
even make a HDD standard.  Sony ****ed up in that respect.    Every bit as

powerful...based on all available knowledge there is on the PS3 and Xbox 
360, that seems to be true so far. Anand from anandtech, HardOCP, Ars 
Technica, etc (pretty much ever reputable site out there) are all pretty 
much in agreement that based on all available info the Xbox360 is
certainly 
no slouch  even when compared to the Cell/PS3.
