They're just adding an internal HD-DVD player to play movies. It isn't needed to play games, oh and have fun playing your Sega Genesis with the Sega CD and Sega 32x Add ons. Smart guy.

Huh? Prove it. If thats true I underestimated their evil potential. Make people pay over $100 for a console upgrade then release a new console in 2010.

I'm just mad becuase MS should of just went ahead and had the HD-DVD in the system from launch and been done with this.

And why have this in 2009 when you know the next xbox will be in 2010 anyway.

You don't need HDMI or HD-DVD to play the games, if you wanted to play the new Sonic or Knuckles game you would have to buy a new add-on. Sega CD and Sega 32x.

This is called progress, Microsoft isn't anywhere near as bad as Sega was. Sega Genesis in 1989, Sega CD 1991, Sega 32x 1994, Sega Saturn 1995, Sega Dreamcast 1998 in Japan / 1999 NA.

Yet the Halo 3 360 which costs more then the Premium, is not milkage? Microsoft is far more guilty of milking the fans, especially with the poor hardware reliability and the lack of HDMI output.

Look at it this way:

When the 360 came out there was the Core and Premium, the Elite came out which had HDMI and a 120 GB HDD, yet people were still getting red rings of death. Now all consoles have HDMI and use the 65 nm processors which are supposed to be more reliable, if they keep breaking down then it is going to be even more milkage for the people who want a reliable console that will work. Sony has only released SKU's with different hard drive capacity because it is how they can turn a profit from PS3 sales, as the larger the drive, the more money they make because the cost per GB is next to nothing for them when they already produce the laptop drives for their own computers. Some PS3's may lack the memory card reader but that is about the only difference, so how is it milkage when Sony is not forcing you to buy one console over the others because it happens to be better in terms of quality? At least with the PS3 you can replace the hard drive with a laptop drive and those are cheap (unlike the 360 HDD's)

Yep, they'll probably alienate the 10 million people who have a 360 without an internal HD-DVD. It's smart business, and if there's a company that knows smart business, it's Microsoft.

Faulty hardware is not "milking" customers. If they were really trying to milk it, they would not replace the consoles and make people buy a new one, instead they took a billion dollar bath to give a 3 year warranty to show customers that they acknowledge the problem and are going to fix broken consoles for free.
