Better Value? Sony's PlayStation 3 or Microsoft's Elite 360

[Bonafide732]

Why couldn't they make the current 360 upgradeable? Why release an entirely new model? Millions of 360's were just sold 3 months ago during the X-mas season. I don't think these people will be too happy a better version came out RIGHT AFTER they spent their money. The black 360 also proves Sony's strategy and price point was right the 1ST TIME. No one learned with the original Xbox and it's Live service being dumped. Even the forced memory upgrade to play larger Live Arcade games is a rip off. Seriously though...this was a bad move!! HDMI (or DVI) should have been a standard option from the start. We all knew that Microsoft was planning a harddrive upgrade, but they kept saying that they'll add HDMI when the market demands it. Little did we know that they meant producing a new model (which pretty much means older models are incapable of digital video output). It's real screwed up. Maybe Sony was right!! Maybe the HD-era began when the PS3 came out. I know I fully enjoy my PS3's HDMI and Blu-ray capability, and I don't have to buy another PS3 down the road.
