Interesting points Ail and disolitude,
I also think people may be looking more at the long run, yes expensive upgrades is probably a factor, the community features you plan to use as well and also non-budget games are expensive. What I mean by this, the more 360 games you buy the less of a factor the entry pricing becomes when looking at the total costs. One new 60 dollar game with a $199 console is only $260, nearly twice as cheap (vs $460) as an Elite together with this game. But if you anticipate to buy 10 new 360 games it's $800 vs $1000 and so forth.
