To clear some things up.

Deeply, deeply flawed in many ways. First of all, you should NEVER buy an 80GB model. Especially one of the new ones. Instead, go for the 60GB preferably CECHAxx model. You can usually pick one up (with one or two controllers even) from most reliable second-hand stores for significantly less than the retail price, let's say $300, CND.
Next, why do you NEED a headset? Does your tv have no speakers at all? Are you THAT afraid your neighbors might hear you playing some sort of game? Seriously. Knock that price off.
So far, $300 even.
Next victim: You can't HONESTLY discount one side for pirated games, especially pirated movies. Seriously. Knocked off the list.
A quality ethernet cable will not cost you $14, and the HD AV cable comes standard with the PS3. Removed.
PS2 for backward compatibility?! This is PRECISELY why you do NOT buy the 80GB model. It's a POS. In fact, the 60GB CECHAxx model has almost completely flawless backward compatibility. And WHY THE HELL would you EVER pay $130 for a PS2 at this point in the game?
You can buy one for less than HALF the price in CND funds at a similar place as you can buy the PS3. Which usually fix it/etc for months after the purchase, and include two controllers. Toss in an extra $10 you can buy a multitap, another $30 for two more controllers and maybe add a game or two and you've got something similar to the price you posted.
A 360 can be picked up at most places for roughly $240 CND, with everything standard. OH and $50~ or so for the online support. Whoops.
Accurate price up
PS3: $300~ CND + tax.
360: $290 CND + tax.
Seriously, is $10 ALL that much?
