How do you get milked for something you are not forced to buy?foxhound_foxthey squeeze your nipples instead?
Not really, technology goes down in price. It is just like me telling people that have Quad Cores on the PC right now that they were milked when I buy mine a few months later.Tulak_Hordwell i dont have that prolly wont for a year at least and lemmings got milked since when is 1.5 year early adopters?
Your absolutely right, now that there's a higher spec 360 my current 360 is magically gonna stop playing games and i'll have to go out and by the new one ....
:roll:
Snugenz
it's true it'll happen.
i dont own a xbox 360 but. i said i would go out and buy one if it comes in black because i know companys are just riden on the trend coat tails that of apple. plus almost every entertainment device i own is black and i want to keep it that way.
so i guess im getting a 360

But people actually do. Now to get to the main point. Lemmings are not milked. Most will just get the 120 GB HDD.

If you are going to truly get one, I would wait until the fall when the new 65nm chips are in production for the system.
same here, black pc all around, black drums, black psp on the way, i wanted a black Wii but my brother bought it for me for x-mas so what can i do :?i dont own a xbox 360 but. i said i would go out and buy one if it comes in black because i know companys are just riden on the trend coat tails that of apple. plus almost every entertainment device i own is black and i want to keep it that way.

will it be in black?
I don't need 120gb of space, i want a 360 premium for $300. Even though i have an HDTV, component is good enough.X360PS3AMD05
That is probably what is going to happen. Either they keep the core and drop it $100 as well or they just get rid of the core all together and the premium becomes the new core at $300. I expect this new XBOX to be cheaper than $480 though, unless they are including the tax with that number?

120GB HDD is no cheap , nor is the new HDMI so $480 seems reasonable[QUOTE="eastside49er"][QUOTE="Merovingin33"]i dont own a xbox 360 but. i said i would go out and buy one if it comes in black because i know companys are just riden on the trend coat tails that of apple. plus almost every entertainment device i own is black and i want to keep it that way.

I would think so. Basically if this article is true and they will start selling these things in early spring, but those will still have the old chips in them. Basically the only new things would be a better/quieter DVD player, bigger HDD (120GB) and HDMI, plus a HDMI cord.
Might as well wait a few more months and get the entire upgrade, with all of that stuff mentioned above, plus the new 65nm chip. On top of that, you never know when a price drop might happen or bundles.

120GB HDD is no cheap , nor is the new HDMI so $480 seems reasonable what do you mean its not cheap? a laptop 120gb hard drive is $82 yet m$ will charge many times more than that. $300+ 82 = $382 so m$ do its usual riping you off there is no way hdmi costs $100So there is all this hype for the next gen console from Microsoft, The X-Box 360 yay! So we buy this awsome console....... One year later, guess what? OMG a all new and better X-Box 360 is coming out, and the live sevice is being geared to run better with the New Xbox 360 Huh. So if we wan't to take full advatage of what Microsoft is trying offering us we will have to buy the new console. YAY?
I don't think so, this is such a douchebag move by Microsoft. So what in a year after this new launch, what we will have to buy a all new console again, just a little bit better? And So on and so on. Let the ultimate milkage from MIcrosoft begin! I feel sorry for are kids.

There's a Blu-Ray-less PS3 where now?
Well, if you buy it, you're still getting better hardware. That being said, I agree it isn't a cool thing for MS to do to their fanbase.http://www.hardocp.com/news.html?news=MjQ4NzIsLCxobmV3cywsLDE=

How do you get milked for something you are not forced to buy?foxhound_foxIt's Cow logic.. Don't even try to understand it...
[QUOTE="foxhound_fox"]How do you get milked for something you are not forced to buy?kingsy_the_oneIt's Cow logic.. Don't even try to understand it... By cow logic, anyone who buys a car is "milked" when the next year's model is better than the previous one. They're idiots.

By cow logic, anyone who buys a car is "milked" when the next year's model is better than the previous one. They're idiots. Analogy failed. We expect cars to be outdated after one year. That's not a surprise. I DID NOT expect Microsoft to release a newer, better version after only 1.5 years. To my recollection, it's the 1st time a console has had such significant changes/additions after such a short period of time. Not cool. Will I still buy it? Absolutely. I don't like owning an "older, inferior" model. Am I happy about it? Not really.
