I got a 360 Arcade for Christmas with Batman Arkham Asylum, Red Alert 3, and The Bourne Conspiracy (And I just picked up Bad Company). I've gotten very good use out of it, but I have a large collection of original Xbox games that I want to play. Then, to my horror, I discovered that I would need a hard drive to play them. This really irritates me, I mean, I just spent 200$ on a console and then found out that it wasn't even fully functional? I knew I'd need to get one of those 100$ hard drives, which made me even more mad. Fortunately, I got a 20gb on Ebay for 25$, but it's still crappy of Microsoft. They charge people for an Xbox 360, fine by me. But then they charge them 100$ more to play classics? I think Sony has it right on this one; at least the PS3 comes with a 40 gig hard drive standard. Nintendo, too. This is the first time I've had anything bad to say about Microsoft, and I really hope it'll be the last.
