though i do feel a bit ripped off, you can't help it. it's just the way business works.

i agree with a few of the above posts. it's not the late updates that rip us off, it's the fact that the early 360's had so many problems and even some current 360's. i got a 360 not that long after launch and i was so angry because it was like MS didn't even bother to test them.
