Research firm iSuppli, having donned their green-eyed goggles and evaded all manner of high-tech, often deadly security measures, have emerged from production facilities across Asia with (rough, unconfirmed) numbers on just how much it costs to build a 360 Elite and PS3 these days.

The PS3? More expensive, as you can see. All those BLUE LASERS and BLUE TEETH are costing them a packet. But we already knew that. They're about to get a little bit cheaper, yeah, but we already knew that, too. Still, nice to look at all the pretty numbers, yes? Luke Plunkett

UPDATE: Source graph has been edited to remove all reference to "360 Elite", 360 prices now listed for "360 20GB model". Pic, and post, updated to reflect this.
