I think everyone is wrong to say this dual-pricing thing is a bad move.


The core unit is upgradable. It's for people who don't know if they're going to enjoy gaming. Enough said.

The second unit is expensive, yes, but it's approximately the same price as the ps2 on release, and contains a butt-load more.



Do your homework, piggys.

what? ms is going to let us mod our xbox 360s?

I think you should probably hit the books a little bit their chief.

Why yes the xbox is upgradable. But when the 20GB harddrive is going to cost you $110 bucks it isn't worth it.

sounds about right.

and that 110 for the hard drive, does that include shipping, and instalation? yeah, sounds like a bargan until they fleece you for an extra 60-80 bucks

It's like an external harddrive, so installing it would most likely be a matter of connecting to the backside/underside of the core system.

At least that's what I'm gathering.

I didn't say it was worth it Lug, why would I hit the books if I said nothing wrong?
i think the only "blunder" about the core system is that it won't be backwards compatible. other than that, any "hardcore" gamer, as allacard put it, prolly won't buy the core system.

pwned.
