Oh wow... I don't have to pay so much for an elite 360, and people who don't want a premium or elite can save money and get a core system. That's so bad, right? :roll:

If I don't want a gold account to play games online, I don't have get it. That's terrible! How am I supposed to live with that burden?!

I don't have to get accessories I don't want! O NOES! :o

Have fun with your $600 console. Oh wait! But you can choose to have a $500 version. What will you do? I guess the only choice is a Wii, right?

Wii60 FTW! :D

[QUOTE="SambaLele"][QUOTE="SambaLele"]

Well, we could always list those choices, so every lemming, sheep or cow knows exactly what is there to choose:

1. Xbox 360 Core: No WiFi, no HDMI, no HDD, just the basic "i just wanna play games" package. = $299

if you decide to upgrade that system you'll have to pay independently for any of these: WiFi - $100, 20 GB HDD - $100, Next-Gen Disc Format - $200, XBL if you want to play online - $ 50 per year, rechargable batteries, wireless controllers, 64 Memory Card, etc... i don't want to calculate it all now, but the price skyrockets. Around $800 i guess. Adding the XBL price, you'll have spent more $250 for 5 years of online play. So the total becomes at least $1050.

2. Xbox 360 Premium: 20 GB HDD, component cables, wireless controllers, etc. = $399

If you decide to upgrade this one you'll willingly pay for each desired part: WiFi - $100, Next-Gen Disc Format - $200 and XBL Gold if you want to play online - $ 50 per year. That's $950 after 5 years of online gaming.

 

Or, 1 year and half after the console's launch there's a new option:

3. Xbox 360 'Elite': everything the premium pack has + HDMI, black system, 120 GB HDD. = $480

Again, to upgrade it's: Wifi - $100, HD-DVD add-on for movies - $200 and XBL Gold for online play - $50 a year giving you that MS may release a new console in 2010, that's at least 3 years of subscription until next-gen comes. So $480 + 100 + 200= $780 or $930 for 3 years of XBL Gold.

 

Now, MS gave you these choices. But they aren't alone in the market, you can also choose one of these ones:

4. Wii: rumble and motion sensor controller, WiFi, Bluetooth, 512 MB flash memory, free online. - $250

5. 20 GB PS3: HDMI, motion sensor controller, Next-Gen Format Disc, Bluetooth, 20 GB HDD and free online with Home. - $499

6. 60 GB PS3: WiFi, HDMI, motion sensor controller, Bluetooth, Next-Gen Format Disc, 60 GB HDD and free online with Home. - $599

 

So, everyone, you can decide, you know, after all the choices are wide and numerous. MS itself gives you 3 of them, one of course wasn't available at launch, but they don't care much.
