Deus Ex: Invisible War: Why don't all consoles have full BC?

So saying "For howmuch it costs...it should include original xbox" is not really justified. You get plenty for what you pay...

No, that's wrong. It might cost them because they added value inefficiently, but for what a 360 costs, you should get a bar of gold with it.

In the end, it's a videogame console.

Trying to make me think I got a good deal is damage control. The value they added costs them a lot of money, but it really added a relatively small amount of value for most consumers.

 

If you claim we're overpaying for the Wii, then we are vastly overpaying for the Xbox 360, because it doesn't really offer up anything the Wii doesn't in the area of fun gaming experiences. Online yeah, but I pay for that too. I suppose I'm getting more than I pay for there too though? No man, we're never getting more than we pay for.

There is a reason that 360s sell at a loss. It's because if they weren't only marginally too expensive for a game console, they wouldn't sell at all. It's a game console, it shouldn't cost 500 dollars if it doesn't cook my eggs and maky my breakfast.

 

I've been gaming for years, and enjoying the hell out of it. I've never said, "This could be so much better if I had a freakin' Blu-Ray player."

You can get a PS2 for 100 dollars? It's a WAY better value for your money than a 360 or a PS3. WAAAY better. Not even a comparison. It's funny to hear people say that a 450 dollar PS3 or 360 is a good deal and we should feel lucky to get it. Laughable.

You don't understand the basic concept that it doesn't matter how much money it costs to make something. It matters how much utility you get from the product. If Sony wants to spend 200 dollars a console adding a blu-ray player so they can push their format, then good. Let em take a loss. Don't expect me to be all happy that the system costs so much cause I got a blu-ray player though.

It's like "Oh your TV can now make waffles, but it'll cost you 100 dollars more, even though we're taking a loss on the waffle maker."

I should be like "oh a wafflemaker, I'm getting a great deal?"

 

No, I'm more like, "Take that crap off of there and give me my 50 dollar rebate. I bought this to watch TV, not make waffles, where did you even get that freakazoid idea from? Ripoff central, jeez."

 

On topic, it costs a ton of money, it should be fully BC, it only takes time and they've had 2 years. They just aren't working on it hard enough, imo, and as a customer, I still think less of Microsoft because of this. It's an insult, for as much money as this thing costs and XBL monthly fee to top it all off, I need to get a part time job to game now-a-days, and I got worse and less games than I had in PS2 or NES area, and now I got a freakin Blu-ray player in my PS3, so I should be happy about how much it costs?

WTH man?

I don't even own a Blu-ray. If I wanted to own one, I would buy a player for it. Spend that money on Backwards Compatability please, cause it's very important considering the back library of games for all the system predecessors are excellent and you can't buy an Xbox anymore in stores.

 

 

imho that is. I traded my Wii straight up for this Xbox 360, and I think it was a fair trade. They both do the same thing, which is give me pleasure. I don't really care if one of them has to download patches to do it.
