Let me get this straight, for $300 I can get an Xbox 360, but it won't play Xbox games, won't be wireless and won't come with a remote control or harddrive. Or I could spend $400 and get the things that the 360 should really ship with, but it still won't come with a game or have the stuff I really want. To truly have the system that Microsoft talked about when they unveiled the 360 I would have to spend closer to $650. Here's the break-down:

Xbox 360 Standard: $399.99
Gold Xbox Live Subscription: At least $49.99 (Likely more.)
Wireless Networking Adapter: $99.99
Second Wireless Controller: $49.99
Two Play and Charge Kits: $19.99 times two.
Total: $639.94

And that's without what will likely be a very pricey Xbox 360 game, which could push the total closer to $700 and don't forget the HDTV. So the question is, how much are you willing to spend for gaming? If you had $700 would you buy a loaded 360 or the couch you'll be sitting on to play those games?
