windbane said: M$ does not give you the choice to play online games for free like every non-MMO PC and console game. M$ does not give you a hard drive as a standard for their console enabling developers to take advantage and lower load times and make extra content available. They also do not give you the choice to install a hard drive other than the way overpriced ones such as the $180 120GB hard drive (worth $50 retail). Also, apparently it was the consumer choosing against the 20GB PS3 that caused Sony to phase them out. I think it's a bad move on their part because the packages were more comparable. People keep saying, mainly M$, that they give their customers choices, but they don't yet have a blu-ray add-on drive, do they? Wouldn't a consumer want the choice to have the leading HD drive? Both have choices but that doesn't mean the choices are good. Also, I believe you'd have to buy a memory card to save games for the Core version, so add some more money on for that. I think M$ has a very clever strategy because they can offer inferior packages and then pack on add-ons that people will most likely choose later. The best thing on the 360 is Live I keep hearing. Well, to take advantage of online games you have to pay. Buyers are short-sighted, I just wish people on this site weren't. Also, the 20GB PS3 might still be more available than the Wii, and the 20GB version was readily available for months.

The best argument I've ever read in the system wars forums.
If MS was really about choice, they would provide a choice between blu-ray or hd-dvd external drive.
