I love how it's almost always people who don't own a 360 or don't like MS / Xbox who want the Core to be killed off. It's even better in a thread where multiple people say they would buy the Core at the $199 price.

"I mean $100 for a 20 gig HD? What the hell. The 120 isn't much better at $179. But MS is about choices I guess, choosing how to screw yourself the least."
Welcome to the internet, let me give you a quick tour.

20GB for $40-50
120GB for $100

"I don't even know how the 360 owners can even handle having anything under 100gb's, XBL is massive and has so many great things to download, the wii can get away without an HDD but the 360 is nothing without XBL. they have some demo's that are over a GB, plus you can Download HD movies which are over 5gb's."
And as more Premium buyers upgrade to 120GB, more used 20GB HDDs will become available to those who buy the Core.
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
