Who really is being milked to death

Oh please.. I just had to spend 20$ on a 8 MEG MEMORY CARD for my PS2. I mean really.. the console is 10 years old now (or almost) and they still sell those things for 20$ (Canadian)??? That's insane..

LOL

Old article of Aaron Greenberg defending hard drive price

[QUOTE="xsubtownerx"][QUOTE="dthach614"] blame the store that you're buying it fromdthach614

They're "Special" hard drives and "Special" 512 MB cards, so that's why there so expensive.

[QUOTE="skrat_01"]Because thats just it - its a work around, of what should be a standard. Simple really, its not a solution.Stevo_the_gamer

whoa, :oseriously, $50 for a 512mb card?

Gotta give it to Microsoft, put the Arcade at a ridiculousy good price, people buy then realise they need a decent harddrive.

Boom. Business.

Trinners

the laugh is on the consumers that don't do proper research :lol:

i think nintendo does. they keep on releasing new mario games, smash brothers, metroid prime, mario cart. all of these games have been around for a while. HD drives for the 360 are over priced. i have a 20gig hard drive but i haven't bought a new one. no, point if i'm good with memory. only people that get milked are the people who buy the hard drives. i do think it is possible to buy a hard drive and make it so it works on the 360.iam2green

Well, Nintendo may releasenew mario games, smash gmes, metroid, and cart, but the key word is NEW, and one is NOT required to buy them. The franchises has been around for while, but they are FAR from the same game. And the person that listed the classic controller as part of the package should remove it, because it isn't required at all.

You can use practically any SD card up to 32GB, where as tochange the hard drive on the 360 without buying the official hard drive, you have to jump through hoops to make it work plus I would think it would void your warranty.

But a good question has been poised here: have any 360 users filled their standard hard drives yet for the 360? Do they really see the need to go beyond 20 GIG?

M$ knows that people think they're getting a deal if they spend over $400 spread out across several payments than if they spend $400 for one item even if that one item comes with more features than you would get by spending $400 on several items. Consumers really are gullible.

whom ever buys a 360 is getting milked because

to get close-just close to what ps3 offers youd spend

300 for a 60 gb 360

60 per game-360

60 per controller -420

100 wireless adapter-520

100+ hd dvd drive-620 or more

50 a year for xbox live-680

ps3

games-60

system 400-80 gb ps3-460

extra controllrt-60 520

internet-/online-free

wii

games= 50

console 250=300 so far

controllers 80(classic controller and the set for exta cotroller)380

wifi-free

internetbrowser-5 dollars. 385

thats it, lol ,

wii is the cheapest for the whole expierence, but you can even cut that price down if you did not get a classic controller because you dont need it until your ready for vc

so tell me now ,whos ripping who , 360 is bc your still getting 20 gigs less for the 100 cheaper 360 l ol and you dont even get wifi or online play with that so good luck ,

Agreed the Xbox 360's HDD's are way too expensive. That's why I havent upgraded yet, I haven't even upgraded my 60GB PS3 HDD.

yeah, the hard drive thing is really unfair, in my opinion. really, i hate most proprietary formats and hardware in general.

[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"][QUOTE="skrat_01"]Not when I can turn on my computer and play all my games for free. With no hassle. Without worrying about juggling monthly accounts, and transfering profile details such as friends across.. I'd rather play on my PS3 quite frankly. Again its a work around, temporary solution, if you are that desperate to play your games online - and of course if I HAD to play a new 360 title online, im sure i'd do that. Only problem is I have stopped buying 360 games for online play.skrat_01
