Add on the wireless adapter ($129),

Nope. I already had a wireless adapter before purchasing my 360.
Even if I didn't, I could run an Ethernet link from my 360 to my HTPC
and connect to Live using ICS. Subtract $129.

HD-DVD drive ($200),

Not necessary to play games or even HD media on the 360. Subtract
$200.

charge kit ($20),

Core system comes with a wired controller which never requires
charging. Subtract $20. Or subtract $10 if you go to Target and get
a 4xAAA charge kit with batteries (something you can use in both a 360
and your digital camera, but never be able to use in a PS3
controller).

$499+129+200+20-40 = $808 for similarly equipped 360, while my 60gig
PS3 is $699...

$699 sure is a lot to pay for a paperweight.
