I will wait till they bring the 60GB or 80GB down in price. Thats just a rip-off. MaryJane wouldn't like it either. Its nothing but a plain console. Unlike the 360 Elite, it comes with a 120GB HDD, new heatsink, HDMI cable, ethernet cable, wireless controller, Component cables, and a headset and the best online interface Xbox Live. Now that is worth $400, or should I say $450. Sony needs to seriously rethink their strategy cause its horrible. I hope its a rumor and are these SKU's going to have the new Dual Shock 3 controller or do you have to buy it seperate? |
HDMI cables are worth about $3 to consumers (and cost about $1 to manufacturers. Component cables are slightly more expensive, but still very cheap. There's little reason Sony would refuse to include an ethernet cable, something that literally costs them approximately $0.25 to include.
I mean, it's nice that MS doesn't try to rip you off with no HDMI cable, which some bastard companies actually do, but it's something that costs them about $1. So it doesn't exactly make the elite significantly more valuable. Neither does the new heatsink, because the elites still fail at a very high rate.
For PS2 owners, who had been able to exchange their PS2 as $100 credit toward the PS3 many times in the past, this is just as expensive as the 80GB version will be since they can't get that credit without throwing away their current library.
