| The X-Box 360 will leave you wondering "wtf?!" Microsoft is really pulling out all of the fucktard stops this time around. But of course, I'm not surprised at all in their stupidity.  |

Originally posted by DarkSlayaYeah, it's the games that matter. Not the console itself, and not who makes it. I don't see why this has to be a "Microsoft is evil" topic. Do you think Nintendo and Sony don't care about money? |

| I kind of expected the prices to be in the "OMG THIS IS INSANE" range, but I'm trying to figure out how you can justify selling a 20GB HD for $99. That one sticks out like a sore thumb. | |||

Originally posted by Yoshi Dude All I was doing was displaying another of Microsoft's questionable business decisions. Nintendo's made plenty (N64, VB, the N64 expansion pack), and Sony has as well (defective parts in the PS1 and PS2 models). But making two separate models of the new console, then saying "Program the games like they (the HD's) aren't there, but use the hell out of them if they are." Where's the logic? Colleen: I guess it's for the "poor man's new Xbox." *shrug* Personally, I'm kinda miffed that Microsoft is even contemplating making two separate models in the first place. Even moreso that you'll eventually need everything that comes with the fully loaded model in the first place (down the road anyway).  (edited by Lenophis on 08-18-05 10:13 PM) |

| Here's the thing though... the top-end model is basically the console + the HD with everything else added in free price-wise. So the idea of just selling the HD for $99... boggles the mind. I thought 20GB HD's were... well... DIRT CHEAP. | |||

| It seems like everything Microsoft sells is overpriced. Isn't XP still $200? And Office for that matter. Don't even need to ask about Visual Studios, I know that's still $1800. If I had to place a guess, it's just a standard HD too. So if it is, just buy the cheap ass Xbox, a HD, and toss that in. If it isn't, the storage for that price is still too expensive. If it were 200 GB, then I could understand the price. |

| Bah, who wants to spend alot of money on systems anyways. I mean their target age group (teens) have alot of payments. Car payments, insurance, college money..I mean really. Unless you have some generous parents hopefully youll be spending that money on some more worthwhile things. |

| Yeah... I can't see why people make arguments AGAINST pirating MS products. The *ONLY* decent way to get them is with a student discount, which at least ensures that you might get Office for $79 or something like that. Beats $499. |

| This comes nowhere close to the shit Sony pulls when it comes to accessories. I still can't believe they didn't put 4 controller ports on the PS2. And they actually sold a horizontal stand. I mean, come on. | |||

| You talk about the Xbox 360 like someones gonna buy one. Personally im not buying either, I know I will eventually for collectors sake but when it comes out thats a big hell no. Maybe for Halo 3 or Perfect Dark Zero but thats it and id end up getting it a year later at the earliest to let the outrageuous price drop. |
