Micrsoft raising the price of xbox's, excluding parts of the bundles, stealing games, songs, and instruction maunals for games from Sony

WHATS TO LIKE ABOUT THEM?

Im not trolling or anything, i was thinking about buying a 360 but ill just wait for it to be priced at $150 or get it when the RROD is atleast 20% better

This reminds me of people that say, "I'm not racist but..." followed by something extremely racist. You're fooling noone, troll.

Well there goes my interest in upgrading to an Elite later.

ok come on, you can get an HDMI cable for under 5 bucks.


As if, not where im at, there all $50 and above and they dont ship HDMI cables where im at so no its a make or break, and with this news it just broke all over the place.

Your profile says you live in the United States. If that's true, you must be living in cabin in the middle of nowhere for your statement to be true.


Yes, Hawaii is apart of the USA, but they charge an insane amount or nothing at all for an HDMI cable which is why we only have 3 in our house all paid for at $40 to $50, so i stand by my statment.

It costs $4.80 to ship you a set of HDMI cables. Grand total is $7. Try again.



What, son, what? New York, New York!!!

I picked up mine a year and a half ago for $399, complete with both the dual composite / component cables and HDMI cable, which retails for $50 alone, and headset, which is anywhere from $30-$50 depending if you buy it alone or as part of the Xbox Live Starter Kit, so it was a pretty good deal for me considering I would have had to have spent roughly $100 extra on the HDMI cable and starter back separately if I got the 20 GB Pro model, plus I got an extra 100 GB of hard drive space.

This is simply M$ way of making more money since people who want the most out of their system will obviously be willing to shell out some extra dough for HD cables.

You'll waste a lot of money in your life if you shop for everything that way. Maybe that's who MS is hoping to pray on, the uninformed shopper that doesn't realize they have cheaper alternatives to the official products MS puts out.

I got my Elite in Dec 2007... at the time it was going for $450 regularly, and I got it at Toys R Us with a $50 coupon that I scored online... so I payed $399 for an Elite special edition holiday bundle, complete with Forza 2/Marvel Ultimate Heroes packed in, an HDMI cable plus standard cables, headset, and 120GB HDD at a time when the Pro model was still going for $350 with a 20GB HDD, and the 120GB HDD alone was selling for $150.

I also scored a 13 month XBL gold card for $30 and COD4 for $40 at Best Buy the same day.... so all told I spent $470 + tax for a 360 Elite, 3 games, and over a year of XBL, and that was almost 2 years ago.... back when the base PS3 model was still $499!

I'd call that some pretty savvy shopping on my part

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
