I got a feeling that most of the hate from this deal is because

1. This will increase 360 sales and this upsets the Sony camp.

2. MS thought of this first and Sony didn't.

Why would people here condemn MS for giving an OPTION that they know they won't ever do? Why do they care that its taking advantage of debt prone families (which cell companies have done for years). Gamers are the new hosts to "Till Debt Do Us Part"? lol

Its simple: This will boost 360 sales, Live Gold subs, and not PS3. These debates almost always are rooted in lifetime sales.

This is not true at all. Its an evil smart idea, because you can put people into debt and profit off of the interest. I am saying as a person  who works in retail in this economy, that the mass majority of the people will not go for financing. It wont sway them if they cannot afford it. I used to work in a store that gave cash or finance options and the stuff was pretty expensive at times. Also, looking for people with good credit these days isnt very easy.
