Just IMO I feel like we have been totally ripped on this issue. if you didnt buy the actual premium the 20GB HDD is 100$ Can you imagine how much it would cost at a 120GB??? Meanwhile they come out with all this great stuff downloadable movies and tv shows and now soon Tv with maybe a tivo function right. So where are you suppose to download this stuff too. Now with a PS3 even though they are not as good online right now i can buy a 160GB HDD for like $138 And if it gets as good or even close they have won that battle. What are your thoughts on this I love my 360 And my PS3 equally but do you think MS dropped the ball in that Dept especially knowing there were going to come out with all this DL content?
Trolling. But anyway. It'd take Sony forever to get it's online system up to Xbox Live. Xbox live has been developing for over 5 years. Hopefully they will take the 20's off the market, and replace them with the bigger one.
[QUOTE="kevster29"]ya but when you pay for a movie it deletes after 3 days and its free and you can just redownload it it saves space SymphonicWaves
I'm pretty sure you can only rent, not purchase the movies.
oh really my bad i was reading other forums earlier and seen someone write that you can re-download them for free once you bought them. sorry about that
that would be like.....$1200!!! OMG its called mass production, makes products cheaper to produce which makes the cost go down which means prolly $150-$170 120 GB HDD. personally i dont think it will even happen but we will see.
Almost two years ago I bought a 120gb SATA hard drive for $50 - for $100 I can easily find 250gb+ hard drives. Even laptop hard drives reach the 100gb+ mark when you have $100 to spend.
Where Microsoft "pulled one over on us" was in requiring their proprietary drive - it's not *that* hard for them to say "we're making 5400rpm 2.5" laptop drives standard", they chose not to, and now it's ultimately biting the consumer in the rear.

That's for TV shows and so on that doesn't expire. All accessories for the 360 are ridiculously expensive. 20 GB at 99 USD! Wireless Receiver is also helluvalot expensive. However, the case is the same with the other companies.
Why is it that whenever someone has any sort of critiscim for any console on a fourm people automatically call it trolling? I think he has a valid point regardless of the PS3. MS didn't come up with the idea to release HD downloadble content over night, they would have had this in planning well in advance, so why not cater for it. Especially as the 20g HHD is actually only 11g due to system memory that takes up the difference.
and if u think about it for the xbx ur not even getiin 20 full gbs.......ur gettin about 13.......i formateed mine when i first got mine and i only ended up with 13........for the ps3 if u do that ur gettin about 55 gbs i hheard so yea in the end ms is rippin off ppl there stupid

Yeah, but what you are not getting is the fact that the 360 came out a year before the PS3 and MS hadn't fully planned on offering a downloadable movie/"tivo" function to the public. They are doing what every other company would do in their situation, Find a solution to a competitors "selling" points and beat it!
