Clearly your too young to have experience in buying a car and a house with a down payment.
Its simple: when you cant pay it all upfront, you end up paying more in the long run in exchange for affordable monthly instalments. Its a trade off.

Are you guys incapable of actually reading what I say?
I actually spelled out, in detail, the way that it works. I'm a mathematician, I know this stuff pretty damn well. If you guys aren't capable of reading my posts and thinking about them before responding, then there's no point continuing the argument.

You may be a mathematician, yet you seem to know little about the concept of paying with interest in the long run in exchange for affordable monthly payments.
Car industry, House industry, and phone industry all do this. Now MS is trying this with consoles. Simple.

OK, I'm going to say this in bold.
I described the process of paying with interest. If you don't realise that, then I can comfortably say that you didn't take ANY time to read what I was actually saying - you clearly just skimmed and decided to draw your own conclusions. Kind of like what I fear that advertising is intended to cause, really.
And as I said, none of the others try to hide that you'll be paying interest - they're quite upfront about it.

Well that's not true in the least. Every company that tries to sell you something with a contract will try and hide as many fees and charges from you as long as possible and/or put things in the fine print that will cost you later.
This Xbox contract is no different than any other contract. It's as simple as that.
