Even if you don't add the hd-dvd drive.



Is this true?

===============================

EDIT: Let's not forget the cost of warranty which many suggest it is a must-get for 360. While the wii and ps3 is less prone to massive hardware failures.

Yes, but as MS stated its about choice some people might not want HD-DVD or Xbox live so they shouldnt have to pay for it

Assuming you factor in the price of the wireless adapter that Microsoft makes which is a rip off (120 CAD, just buy a Linksys one for 40 bucks), the hard drive is over priced thouh, my friend got a 20 GB one for 50 bucks on Ebay.

Yep its true.ghoulsandghost

You left out the Ferrari. Fact: if you can't buy a 360 and put it in the back seat of your Ferrari, you can't play games on it. Theres hardware that prevents this. Thats what the RROD means. You didn't buy the mandatory Ferrari so you can't play games.

Similar to so-called ethernet cables. Its a blatant lie that you can use ethernet to connect networks. The Ethernet Enforcement Embassy (also known as E3, don't be fooled... the games are all a clever disguise for what really happens at the conference) is ran by the 5 largest corporations in the world. They meet and dictate that all companies and educational institutes must buy ethernet cables and plug them into so called "ethernet ports" on their computers. The station are all actually connected wirelessly, but if companies don't buy the cables, E3 will impose black market restrictions on them that will run them out of business.

Its a shady game, but its the game they play. Sony bucked the trend and they have payed dearly. E3 and its cohort Microsoft launched a rival disc format solely to sabotage Sony. Exxon (Another E3 member) has been raising oil cost so that Sony couldn't manufacture the plastic used in its system cheaply. Sony has valiantly held on, but the road has been tough.

Even accessories on X360 cost more because X360 is so proprietary. For example: Rockband wireless guitar on PS3 $59 on X360 the same guitar costs $79 because they have to pay MS a fee for their wireless technology to work on X360. Same with any USB peripherals you might want, harddrive upgrades etc... X360 is just more expensive.

If you want the bigger 80GB hard drive, why not just get a 40GB and purchase a 320GB sata laptop drive from newegg.com and put it in.

Last I checked, 160GB laptop drive only cost around $100 and a 250GB cost around $130-160, and a 320GB at $160-$200

If you want BC that bad, why not just get a ps2, since it is still selling and cheaper.
