How many times do we have to state the fact that the 360 is too expensive?

Start believing it alrdy. The consumers are being lied to, because they dont buy the ps3, they think its expensive.

But when they buy one, oh buy, they are BEING RIPPED OFF!! 

 

Console  = 300

3x HDD 20 gig to match the PS3 =  300

HD scart cable = 30

Wi-fi = 100

HDDVD addon = 200

5 years xboxlive = 250

 

So the average 360owner pays about 300+300+30+100+200+250=

1180 dollars!!!


AND THATS WITHOUT ANY GAMES!!!!

 As usual, microsoft is moneyhungry

Umm... When i bought mine it was 400 dollars. That is more than likely why it doesn't match PS3 feature for feature. Because it's cheaper. Please stop making worthless threads like this, the price of the PS3 is 600 and the price of Xbox 360 is 400.

The average 360 owner doesn't but wifi, hd-dvd, hd cables (which are included), extra hard drives, and extra years of xbox live at the start. /thread.

If you are adding xboxlive in the cost you might as well add the cost of all the games you will buy over a five year span too. Not every game is online and you dont need the service to still enjoy games. Its an optional expense. Adding the cost of xbl is one of the worst anti 360 fanboy rationales.

Your whole post is a damn joke. Why do you need the HD-DVD to play games or a 3x bigger HDD (for $300). I am what you would call the average gamer or 360 owner I didnt pay anywhere near that when I got my 360. Whatever makes you feel better after spending 600+ on an overhyped mediocre console with a bunch of lackluster games.

Okay I'm going to now use your logic in order to compare the playstation 2 to the Xbox.

Xbox: 120$

Dvd player for xbox 20$

Playstation 2 100$

1000 memory cards 24,000$ to makeup for the lack of an 8 gig harddrive the xbox had.

so it ends up being xbox 140$

and playstation 2 24,100$

I'm aware that you can buy a hardrive for the ps2 but still this is to show how flawed the TC logic is.

Why must it match the PS3? So if i bought a mini, i'd have to go out and buy new parts to make it match an aston martin? Simple fact: you can enjoy next gen games in HD, fully online, with everything the 360 comes with.

I got a 360 and a charge cable. That's it. It already came with a hard drive, and a head set, and a huge ethernet cord. That's all i need, to be honest. I just bought the charge cable as an extra, as i dont like buying batteries.

Everything else you put is a joke.

The only thing I had to pay after the 360 was a play and charge kit ($20), and Live ($60). Because no one needs Blu-Ray, wifi, or a Cell. :|

400 for 360 Premium with HDD and controller, and 1 year of XBL.

Sounds like that is only thing NEEDED for games, the other accessories are just nice to have. Like wireless is a nice feature, but not needed.

Some people don't have high speed internet, some people don't have HDTV's, and some people are fine with just the core system. So to them it only cost $299. You fail.

I thought money wasn't **** to chad warden?  Why are you concerned about how much something costs now?
Anyway, why is it that when people try to price-compare the 360, they always bolt on a bunch of extra crap?  Who needs 3 hard drives (you conveniently ignored the 120 GB drive coming in a couple weeks)?  Who needs a SCART cable (do Euro TVs not have component)?  Do you need HD DVD to play games?  Do you need WiFi to play games?

I took my 360 back after 30 days because it was getting outrageous. There is no way I was paying $60 for one game. I don't even like paying $50 for a game. I just wait until games get down to $20, where they should be.

How many times do some people neew told that THE PS3 IS NOT THE ULTIMATE MACHINE!!!

Why make the Xbox 360 equal to PS3?

Maybe I don't WANT a new media format just yet?

Maybe I DON'T NEED 60 GIG OF HD-SPACE??

Maybe I CAN USE WIRED LAN.

It's okay, he's just a brainwashed Sony fanboy who has nothing better to do then bash other consoles. He even has to make stupid videos bashing the other consoles and posting them on the internet, lmao. I mean who does that?!

OK your price comparison is bogus as I don't have 80% of the crap you listed.  However 360 is expensive, and so is PS3, and even Wii is expensive considering it's not all that much more powerful then a Gamecube.  All 3 consoles cost too much IMO, but then again I'm cheap

Can we get a lock on all 360 pricing threads from now and forever? Getting extremely old.

P.S.

$400 to play games. Get over it or get a PS3.

How many times do we have to state the fact that the 360 is too expensive?

Start believing it alrdy. The consumers are being lied to, because they dont buy the ps3, they think its expensive.

But when they buy one, oh buy, they are BEING RIPPED OFF!! 

 

Console  = 300

3x HDD 20 gig to match the PS3 =  300

HD scart cable = 30

Wi-fi = 100

HDDVD addon = 200

5 years xboxlive = 250

 

So the average 360owner pays about 300+300+30+100+200+250=

1180 dollars!!!


AND THATS WITHOUT ANY GAMES!!!!

 As usual, microsoft is moneyhungry

1. I could just get the Elite and then I would have a 120 gig harddrive for $480.

2. Why do I need Wi-Fi? The 360 comes with an ethernet cable and wired connections are better than wireless ones

3. What's the point of the HDDVD add on when I can just download HD movies off of live marketplace?
