Im predicting that
- A transfer cable will be included.
- Your Current HDD can be connected through a USB cord. It will connect from your old HDD to a USB slot.
- The new slim 360 will have a built in HDD of 250 gigs.

I laughed at your #1 point for 2 reasons
- M$ will not give you something for free that they can charge you for
- I don't think a ton of people will buy a slim just because it is a 'slim' - hence no reason to include a cable (ie: if you buy a console it is probably your first console, hence no reason for a transfer cable) I imagine there ARE people out there that will buy a slim just beacuse it is new, in which case they can spend the extra $ on the transfer cable :P

1. Who said its free? Your buying the console, its included.
2. People want a slim console, i dont konw why but they do. Look at the attention that the PS3 slim got.
|
- Riiiiiiight.. I guess kind of like how they include the HDMI cable when you buy the console... oh wait.. nevermind :P
- The PS3 Slim also had a HUGE pricecut, I don't know any of my friends who went out and replaced their PS3 for the slim model when their PS3 they had worked fine.. And like I said, if they want a slim console they will buy a transfer cable.. Think of it from Microsoft's point of view, 3 possible reasons why people buy a slim:
A)Don't own a 360 (In this case why would they need a transfer cable?)
B)Microsoft is the shit and I'm going to blow $300 on another 360 console even though I already have one (Well, since $300 isn't anything to them, they can pay another $20 for a cable)
C)Replacing a broken 360 (Sweet another console sale, and we will screw them again by making them pay for a transfer cable)
Remember you are talking about the company that makes you pay $60 a year to play the games you BOUGHT online, pay $170 for a 250 GB HDD, $100 for a wi-fi adapter, I forget how much the HD-DVD drive was... Yeah they sound like a company that loves giving you stuff for free :P
|
You are silly,You can play games online through sites like XBC for free...And you are not paying to play games, you are paying for a service that is quite frankly, second to none...and if you are paying $60.00 a year, you are an idiot.
Oh, and people are getting down on you because you obviously have a bone to pick with MS because thus far, you have said nothing positive about them.
@scottie...smaller consoles use smaller components which use less electricity and give off less heat.

@ - I must admit, I had not heard of this service before, and I can tell you that probably all of my friends have not either
@ - Pretty sure this is the price, maybe it's $55 - futureshop and bestbuy are down right now so cannot tell for sure, and why would I be an idiot for paying for my gold membership? If you say it's because you can get deals if you shop around - that is a stupid reason, I'd rather pick it up when it comes due for renewal rather than wait for a deal... I got a deal on the last one I bought, was like $50 for 13 months, but haven't seen that deal since
@ - While I may not have said anything "positive" about Microsoft, I really haven't said anything negative about them either, if you re-read all my posts I was just stating facts. Nowhere did I say Microsoft sucks or anything like that. I think you just got your back up against the wall as I pointed out stuff that M$ makes you pay for that I find stupid, and that they should include for free, or at least not at a ridiculous price. Really $100 for a wifi adapter, $170 for a 250gig hard drive? Are you going to defend them on that? Sure they are a company trying to make money, but those prices are insane for what you are getting.
