hmmmm.  I know 360 is about choices and all. but come on you 360 fanbois cant keep complaining about ps3 price anymore.

 

Oh and the 479 dollar model still doesnt even have wi-fi.(which is 100 dollars more).

 

 

 

PLease use DMC4 as damage controll if you want.

And you can't use the "PS3 is $500" argument anymore. So it evens out. :P Besides, you yourself say the 360 has choices. This model is a choice, unlike another company who forced Blu-Ray on you.

you mean Wi-fi not Hi-Fi, so i guess oblivion is not a good game then?, neither is VF 5 or R:FOM and neither is rainbow six nor GRAW. IF thats the case then 360 has what 1 good game by your defention? just gears of war ?

Yes, 20 GB is plenty for game saves and the occasional download of demos and movie trailers.

Humm.. I own a 360 I don't need HDMI or want it for that matter, this is for people who really like downloading HD movies, and have a 1080P HDTV, In which case they are rich and can afford this. (120gig HD> 20gig btw)

Yeah they are also the ones who said DMC was a horrible series and also HDMI is not needed for High Def gameing. BUT here at Biasedspot we dont like to admit 360 wrongs.

At least (unlike sony) they are not forcing these things down our throat... if we don't have a 1080p 50" plasma with HDMI, and a wireless connection, why should we pay for them?

Yeah, the difference is that the new 360 isn't needed, you can get by perfect with the current 360 premium. I think I will probably get one, but I dont need the hdmi or the hard drive, I just want a black one along with the white one. If you have the extra cash its cool, but if you dont then its really not needed at all. They are basically marketing this to the idiots like me that are willing to drop the cash to get a different colored one, and the people that download everything on live. Also, is it just me or does everyone have trouble seeing how hdmi makes the games look so better? I really cant see that big a difference, seems pretty minimal.

Perfectly fine. HDMI is simply not needed for gaming. If the 360 had a built-in HD DVD drive though, then it would be necessary thanks to the copy-protection technology built into HDMI, which is HDCP. HDCP will also be utilized for digital content on services like IPTV, not just HD DVD & Blu-Ray. That is why the new 360 is needed - because Microsoft is serious about IPTV functionality.

Yes, I'm fine with no HDMI ports. My 360 looks great on my HDTV via the component cables. Although I agree $479 seems a bit steep considering all you're getting is 100 gigs extra memory and hdmi along with a new color. MS still hasn't announced this so perhaps there are other incentives to purchase this version of the system but if not I'd just stay with the original premium version.

I think that if I had a choice between a $299 Xbox 360 with a 20gb hard drive & no HDMI, and a $479 HDMI enabled 120gig model, I would choose the $299 and use the savings to buy myself three awesome games.

I bought my 360 on day 1, and I bought it for games, not to look at pretty pictures. 720 and 1080 do it fine enough by themselves for me.

if the 360 had all these features and the ps3 didnt then you would not be complaining about having it SHOVED DOWN YOUR THROAT. it would be Microsoft have greatly given us HD DVD, you fanBoi

Silly rabbit. The $500 PS3 is practically non-existant now. Good luck finding one. The 360 still has the fully functional $400 version so I don't know why you are grasping for straws.

? Sorry, I don't believe the rumor at all.

1 Few people have HD format movies or HD TVs.

2 Downloading content and storing content like music or something on a game system is too new and I bet few people use hardly any space on the 360 at all and it certainly doesn't warrant a 120 GB version...

OP: Few people have wireless networks or even play on Xbox Live regularly.

Later.

I have a plan! Lets compare the top X360 model that isn't forcing itself on anyone who doesn't want to buy it with the basic PS3 model which still costs more! Yeah. This makes tons of sense... Stage B of the plan is to boast our multi-plats in hopes that no one will notice that I dismiss dozens of good X360 games. I love being a cow :)

Ok, lemme see. The Cows have spent the last year or so making fun of the fact that the 360 only has half the hard drive size as the $500 PS3, yet now that people have the opportunity to get a 360 which has SIX times more hard drive size, still cheaper than the 20 GB PS3, and there's something wrong with that? :?

When I talk about the $299 model I am not referring to the Core package. I am talking about the Premium which will undoubtably see a price cut this year, and I am going to guess that it will be $299.

the hardrive is going to be 200 bucks. so that means you spent 400 bucks plus 200 for hardrive upgrade plus 50 for live service. That is 650 bucks for a 360 that doesnt have a high def player? Yet in everyones eyes PS3 is 2expensive.

You cannot find the 20 GB PS3 anymore. It's pointless to even bring it up.

Honestly I dont care. MS has not screwed current 360 owners.We are still getting great games in the future and we will still be able to play them and as long as that remains constant I am fine. Its about games thats the only thing that matters for me. This new 360 I guess could appeal to those who want that IPTV thing or who just like black consoles.

doesnt the ps3 use like a buch of space of the HDD just for games to load faster
