The interesting thing is noone waited for elite price drop lol also why Arcade users didn't decide to upgrade to elite ? - actually they have more reasons to rebuy hardware than Ps3 owners. lol at haters

OT - obviously there will be a big drop - it's normal - I go with270k

Yeah because the elite price drop was actually a secret

Urgh... again you don't buy an elite if you have an arcade...


I agree with this... unlike the PS3, which has had models that simply couldn't be upgraded (couldn't add WiFi on the early 20 GB models, loss of BC with no ability to add it back in), the 360 units have pretty much been upgradeable to the next level except for the lack of HDMI on early units, and even those had component video and VGA.

There just isn't a compelling reason to buy an Elite if you have an arcade and add a hard drive for < $150.

oh yes !!!

and if a PS3 with BC u upgrade for a PS3 wo BC ... makes a lot of sense

LOL!  I could have made that clearer, I guess.

I believe the lower-end PS3's lost BC first, meaning a user had more incentive to buy the higher end to get the BC, the same as with the 2 launch units, where the lower-end lacked WiFi and had no way to have it added on.  So... in both circumstances, a user might be tempted to spend more for the higher-end unit to get a feature that couldn't be added on later.  The same hasn't really been true with the 360.
