@Mike - You do NOT need to buy a memory card. Besides all else adding a bunch of stuff that may not be needed just to bump up the "price" is meaningless.

 

I have seen conflicting info about the internal memory. I was told there was none but found on the Xbox website that it is 256M -- so that is technically true. But given how fast the Wii fills up at twice that amount, downloads would be difficult, but the point is correct.

The other point was about what it would take for the full Xbox experience. There will be a cost for at least a cable if they want to hook it up to the internet -- while the Wii and PS3 have built-in wireless.  But if you are not going to go on-line, that is also moot.

Thus, I concede that the first point was somewhat wrong and the second point exaggerated. Still, I stand by my assertion that this is not that good of a value. I think the 60G at $300 would be a much better value and a much better seller.

(And while some have reported seeing 60G models on sale for $300, there is nothing heretofore to indicate that this is anything more than a sale on in error at this point as the official MSRP still seems to be $350).
