One more thing about Microsoft's Arcade SKU. They brag how games can now own the cheapest console. Then they charge you just to play on line. After four years, you actually end up paying more than the PS3! That's not counting payment for repairs because by then the 3 yr warranty is over. It sickens me how many people conintue to defend Microsoft in this forum. I have little doubts they Microsoft have their people in this forum.
I wonder why people here try to defend evil/bad business pratices. Do they work for Microsoft? Another one of Microsoft's dirty tactics: hire people to write in forums and attack any and all legitimate criticisms against the company?
You forgot to mentioned that Microsoft lied about how bad RROD was, too. They even deleted messages on the Xbox 360 public forums to cover up RROD. Overall Microsoft do use bad/evil tactics for their Xbox 360 business. They sell an unreliable console, then after 3 years they charge $100 to fix. They sell an arcade version without hard-drives, then have games made that require installatio (Forza 3). Then they charge an arm and a leg for hard drives. They charge you just to play on-line. Why can't they give gamers the option to pay for the extras that LIVE brings to the table. I bet most ppl wont pay for those extras. PSN is more than good enough for most people.
