Just wanted to put this out there.

Anyone think MS is going to take advantage of this offer and in next months NPD response say something like, "We have been seeing a healthy growth on XBox Live, we now have "X" amount of users with Gold accounts"?

Only because with this offer, which pretty much every arcade and/or core owner has almost no choice of declining since HDD is required now includes 3 months Gold subscription?

Just food for thought.

 

not if you never plan to go online with your xbox..... like myself.

 

You have no HDD?

You will be forced to setup the new XBox experience everytime you turn on your 360.

even if you don't (and never) go online with it?

sounds like pure BS to me

 

 

Does not matter if you use online or not, when you turn on the 360 you will need to setup the new Xbox experience. When you power down your console your settings will not be saved, thus causing you to need to do it all over again when you power it back on.

I agree though, it is BS. Arcade owners are getting screwed here. They buy a console that can't even work properly out of the box. The arcades should at least come with the 20GB HDD.

If it is required, it should be provided.
