looks goof to me. and a 2 year warranty. I wonder if they are refurb consoles or all new(for the first purchase, i am sure replacements will be refurbs.). If they are launching this I am sure they are going to be beefing up the services too, so hopefully more content. If only they would let the xbox be a dvr maybe i could get rid of one my fios boxes (which i think i also pay 15 a month for)

This could be a way to get their Xbox live service to be more expensive. Subsidize 360 for 99 and 15 per month that includes online access.

Xbox 720 comes out and suddenly online is still 15 per month and no console subsidy available. 

I agree. Its a worry of mine. As long as it stays cheap enough its worth it for me. But too high and bye bye. It could also mean a split in services. Perhaps a different fee for online play (or free) and a fee for alll the content they have.
