Please enlighten us. Aside from the no hard drive it is basically getting Kinect and 2 years of live for free, and some people like the the poor fellow in my signature can't afford a console.

$360 for Live for two years isn't "free" in my eyes. $14.99 a month for Live is unbelievable, almost as unbelievable as the fact that this is going to work.

It's not getting 2 years of live for free. You pay $99 for the console, and you only get that deal if you sign a contract on the spot to also get 2 years of live, at $15 per month. You're getting nothing for free, you're getting a "discounted" console because you're committing to spend even more than regular retail price over the next 2 years on the service. Identical to a cell phone contract.

Your math sucks.. Stay in school kids.

This "deal' is $459 total, includes Xbox 360 4GB and 2 years of Xbox Live. If you were to purchase the system and xbox live separately, you would save $180. So with this ploy by M$, you're overpaying by $180, profit to their shareholders. Bam. This is more like a payment plan, e-z pay deal even if you like getting screwed.

Ew, this is just awful.

Buying a console with no games, bundled with Kinect and being forced to pay for Xbox Live. I'd rather to set myself on fire than getting that piece of sh!t.

It is indeed a first in gaming history that you can get all the top games like Witcher 2, Fable 2-3, Mass Effect 1-2-3, Gears 1-2-3, Halo 3-4, Alan Wake, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Tales of Vesperia, Skyrim, Dark Souls, RDR etc in a single 99$ system

Should be the biggest deal in gaming history yet for sure and then some, all the best RPGs, shooters etc of this generation for just 99$, it is crazy

.

What the hell would someone do with only 4GB of memory and no games? And paying for Xbox Live? Sweet deal, Microsoft.

LordTrexGuy

Play all xbox 360 games ? I though that was enough for a gaming console

You do know that the 4GB model plays all xbox 360 games, right ?

Some time in 2013:

M$ brings out the new XBOX720, and the fanboys will have to pay a monthly subscription fee to be able to use even the most basic features, like SP.

Meanwhile, PS4, Wii U & PC gamers fully enjoy their consoles, including free online multiplayer.

This is what you'll get for sucking everything up that comes out of M$'s a$$.

I think its a rip off (especially since it costs more in the long run then simply buying one, and you only get the crappiest of the crap with the Arcade model), but I guess its a consumer experiment more then anything.

It is like buying a smartphone or getting a loan. Yeah you will pay more in the long run, obviously. If you can afford to pay the full price upfront though then get it like that.

Well, it seems will be the exact opposite right now

Sony is near bankrupt and cant afford a PS4 at all

MS on the other hand will continue to supply the best hardware and software as always

Then dont get it.

The 'no games' claim, just proves some of you guys dont have arguments to bash the 360. Brand love/hate is just sad, really.

Final Fantasy 14? (LOL I'm joking that game is garbage). The point is if Sony dies, Japanese gamers will not be rushing out to buy the MS console, they will go with the Wii U or something. It's all irrelevant because Sony is not going to go bankrupt and as long as they have a console (doesn't mater how the hardware compares to the 720) it will sell 10x as much in Japan.

I guess Microsoft will do whatever it takes to stay 2nd place. They know Sony is catching up fast because the PS3 is so popular.
If the 360 didn't have such a huge headstart the PS3 would already have been 2nd place.

Nice strategy though, Lems will fall for this

Davekeeh

users who buy it don't realze they will end up needing to pay another 50 to 100 to get a larger storage device on top of what they will already pay of the system, and does the 4gig version even have wifi?

Probably looking at around $450 for actual final payout for a 7 year old system, MS knows how to rip-off.

$99 + $14.99(24)= $458

you people do realize that your paying more for less right.
