So much hating on MS for offering options is retarded. Especially coming from people who bought a $600 console at launch.

If you think this is not for you, don't buy it. Problem solved.

Seriously, does the gaming industry have the foothold that the cellphone industry has in the world?

Thats the idea....companies like MS aspire to reach that level.

Staying in the stone age of conventional gaming business isnt getting us anywhere. Gaming has yet to reach the mass market status of the movie and music industry and its things like this that can take us there.
