whats with people trashing microsoft these days on the 360 forums! people are complaining about how they feel cheated about the elite. why? shouldn't i feel cheated that Dell realased a newer version of my computer, but their not giving me a discount or anything? do u really want HD-DVD? Microsoft wants u to have a choice, u want a gaming system or a media system.

 now people are complaining about the major announcement that was supposed to happen by microsoft. just because its by microsoft, doesn't mean its about the 360! people are forgetting that microsoft isn't all about the 360, its main part is computers! they didn't say the announcement was about the 360, some random guy just hyped it! so, stop trashing microsoft unless u got a  good reason!:evil:

we were all -hoping for- the halo beta, but it makes more sense coming from bungie anyway. We were all -expecting- something better than a galdarn mobile phone browser, a mobile phone browser is not only completely irrelevant to me, it's possibly the worst announcement ever hyped by any company, ever.

Then it's your problem because they did not say the announcement was going to be XBOX related!

people are made because its a rip off, big price jump just for some way over priced space, too bad you couldn't use an external hdd like the ps3, would save people a lot of money and not many people want hd-dvd since it only has like 2 exclusives and ones going neutral and last month blu ray almost tripled hd dvd is sales, im getting sick of microsoft screwing everyone with all the accesories, they try to make their system look good and cheap but then you have to pay for online and charge kit and a new system if you want more memory, and the break down rate is still high sadly, its upsetting

But you can trade the car in and get the newer version for a cheaper price. I would be happy if microsoft did this.

People are mad about the elite because it's been speculated for quite awhile now... A lot of people actually already thought it was coming out before the announcement...

As for tonight... Whether or not it was supposed to be for 360... They hyped it pretty big, saying it was a "major surprise announcement"... and they announced NOTHING to do with the xbox... NOTHING to do with Windows... and NOTHING to do with any kind of useful program or hardware... Instead it's a new FREE internet browser that really isn't anything that special. There are browsers out all over the place for phones... So no one really cares whatsoever about this new thing. 

I myself am slightly mad about the Elite because I had to pay $100 for a stupid 20 GB hard drive only to basically feel ripped off at this point.. But, I am glad that a bigger hard drive did come out, and it isn't that much money..

I guess it's a love/hate relationship for me. I don't mind the Elite, and some of the things seem cool... But I hate the fact that I already spent about as much money on something not as good.

But I could care less about the Elite, or about that stupid Phone Browser... And I think most people would agree with me... Which is why they are so angry. They aren't necessarily angry at the fact that it wasn't about xbox 360 tonight, I believe people are mad because it was a hyped surprise announcement that sucks, and that no one cares about.

It would have been different if the guy just said "tomorrow night Im going to announce something a few people may enjoy" whether then hyping it up like it's some beautiful thing that everyone is looking forward to.

THAT is why they felt it was about Halo 3 or something spectacular.

i agree, like they said in the major nelson interview... the ps3 is more expensive because it has blu ray and internal wireless.... but the 360 is cheaper because they give you the choice...

The forums turned into a mess, just like the Sony fanboys crying over DMC4 going to 360 and PC.

Get em, you're right. People think just cause Major Nelson post it, it must be about games? I mean he is only employed by Microsoft and was bringing some news.

"Two of the coolest Microsoft announcements since CES"
"see the first official look at a very cool announcement"

xbox related or not, how does a new mobile browser apply to either of those quotes, also the way they set it up was to have people waiting for these over a period of two days with each "surprise" at a certain time, one each day

ya, read my post over. im saying XBOX RELATED OR NOT, how do those quotes apply to a mobile phone browser, its very stupid pr anyways, doesnt need to have to do anything with gaming, its still stupid pr. he even says something like "sorry to dissapoint crazy ideas about halo 3 or zune", well one the way they presented it and the fact everyone is expecting halo doesnt make those ideas crazy at all! and second, knowing that everyone was expecting something along those lines why would they push this anyways [obviously not a smart idea] and THEN its not even cool or big news anyways! microsoft business/computers/or gaming its not something that shouldve been hyped anyways and its stupid to hype anything that they KNOW people will be dissappointed with and are expecting something else

Or it's stupid for consumers to believe what they care about it the only thing in the world. A better cell phone browser has been needed. The earth doesn't revolve around gaming, as much as I'd like it to. In a high tech world there are countless gadgets and gizmos every major company is trying to get their hands on it. Heres what happened, you got mislead on some gaming forums, and got your hopes up. It's not Microsofts fault you got your hopes up, they were just announcing a new product. It's your fault, you got hyped, visions of whatever danced in your head then your tiny thought bubble got popped and you were dissapointed. Get over it. You pwned yourself. Put fault where fault goes. Microsoft may be a money grubbing corporation, but they've got enough blame on their hands. Don't push your problems on them. People are bashing their Zephry, when if they would have been smart, and realised it was going to happen, they would of got a 3 year warranty that includeds a discount on a newer system if ever released. Now that time is here and their cussing and spitting slurs at a company that was just trying to help. Let me put some numbers up for you. 399 for a premium system. Had they released just the hard drive another 179 for a 120. Then a premium user is stuck with a 120 gig hard drive they didn't need. This gives new buyers the option to have a 120 in their system. Sure the HDMI cable thing sucks, but about 20% of owners will utilize this feature to it's fullest capabilities in the next couple of years. Not everyone owns a TV that needs a HDMI cable. Now if you had been smart you would of got a warranty like I did. I will be trading in my Premium for an Elite as soon as microsoft has worked out all the kinks in switching. You didn't get screwed. Get over it.

Poor comparison. PS2 originally came out in 2000 and the Slimline in 2004. 4 years afterwards, not 1+ some change later.

Xbox didn't last '7' years. Came out in 2001 and went to hell as soon as the 360 launched in 2005.

Agreed.
