Lately, I have been upset at Microsoft's decisions with their Xbox 360. For one, I believe that they are overpricing everything. As if paying $60 for a videogame isn't enough (and that's for the standard edition, it's even more for limited editions),they are charging you the rest of your money for the downloadable content if you want to enhance your game with extra missions, map packs, or skins. For example, the map packs that were recently released for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 were way overpriced. If you are a die hard fan of Call of Duty, than you bought the game for $60 unless you wanted the limited edition for $10 more. Than you spent an additional $30 for ten new maps, four of which were in Call of Duty 4. So you are spending $90 for that, which is a lot of money.
Another thing that doesn't upset me, but it confuses me is Microsoft's new Avatar. Personally, I think they are nerdy and designed for 8-year-olds. But if you are a fan of a game, you have to buy the avatar clothing to make yourself feel special. But their isa price for your poor self-esteem becoming better in your own eyes. Microsoft will charge you approximately $3 for a Gears of War suit for instance. I don't understand how they continue to make somuch money from zombies buying avatar attire.
Lastly, Microsoft announced their new Xbox 360 and Kinect at E3 2010, the new Xbox looks sleek and nice, but it's going to be $300, which is the same price that I paid for mine before the price drop. How many people are actually going to save up their cash again to buy a new console just for a couple extra features from the older model? Now if it is a new guy looking for a console, I think it is a no brainer to buy the new model. But for someone who already has a 360, I don't see why they would buy it, I know I wouldn't. And Kinect, Microsoft's new motion sensor game,it's going to be half the price of a new Xbox. Spending another $150 for Kinect just doesn't seem logical to me. It looks like cool stuff to play with, but so did the Wii when that came out. But the Wii was never going to cost as much as Kinect will. Sure, the Wii itself was more than $150, but the games were not $60. Kinect will end up costing a lot of money.
