[QUOTE="tranhgiang"]He said lemming in general. Slim-line and PSOne, or the new DS is a mini version, they are not superior than their brother. Changing flag-ship design, advance the console by taking baby step, that's milking the fan. Soon they gonna roll out service that require you to have the new Xbox, or worse, roll out games that require you to have Hard Drive. And bullsh!t like "Elite, limited edition" is obviously milking, you might not fall for it, but some people gonna have to pay about $80 more than they should just because M$ paint the console black. (Ask yourself, what the hell make something a LIMITED EDITION, in this case...because MS said so )
Obviously Microsoft strategy is to not treat every of their gamers equally, you are being categorized (HD equipped, not HD-equipped, Silver, Gold, Core, Premium, Elite, IPTV-ready or not (on-demand HD tv service required a secure tranfer (HDMI) .) and treated differently. Yes lemming are being owned, worse, they don't even realised it.

And yet, you are assuming things. MS has treated the customers the same. I have XBL Gold, and HDTV, and the Premium 360, and yet, I play the same Gears of War as someone with no Live, a SDTV, and a Core 360.
You are so far just thinking to yourself what if MS makes games that require this new system (which is ridiculous since HDMI and larger HDD do not affect the game at all) or an HDD
In this case, its limited because its black, and it will eventually be white, which makes the black case "limited" since it won't last forever.
I would be owned if I had to buy this new model in order to play games. I am not required to do so, thus, I am not owned.
Additional content that required Hard-Drive ? Patch ? Can you play GeOW with someone who don't pay for Live ? Play on the 2 new map with people that buy Core ?
Not just games, services. HDMI and component is not an argument of picture quality, you might be the one that don't understand HDMI. Many services, and HDCP equipment required you to have a secure connection, or in other word, copy protected (so you don't just plug in some device and pirate their signal).
In this case, HDMI is required for some service, not because it is superior in quality, just because the service provider want their content copy protected. Do I like HDMI, no. But you bet there is gonna be service require HDMI connection or you gonna get dumbed down quality. Sure the new ELITE w/e is gonna be IPTV ready, but don't expected your PREMIUM to be treated the same.
