You must have been living under a bad tree.

I had a DualShock 2 break, but that was after like 2 years. It was a clear one though, I loved it :'(

Sony's always big on charging way more for peripherals than it costs to make. As anybody who's had to deal with waves of quick-failing PS1/PS2 controllers can testify. If it seriously costs anywhere near the $30 they used to charge to make one of those failure-prone DualShocks/DualShock 2s, I'd be amazed.

 

Nintendo *cough* ;) don't even attempt to deny it. It will fail instantly.

 

Btw all my original controllers for both my ps1 and ps2 still works. Aswell as the machines...

It's how Sony works. Lose on hardware and try to make it back on software and accessories.

then again, memory cards for PS2 was essential while 360 hdd is optional (every SKU comes with some sort of memory to save games).

Everytime someone purchase a PS2, they must expect to pay more for the memory card

It was worth every penny, correct?

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"

How many 360 (or original Xbox) memory cards did you need to buy?

Oh that's right, ZERO.

Just get it through your heads, you didn't need to buy any Xbox memory cards. Get used to it.

Yes you DO need to buy a 360 Memory Card. Of course that is if you dont have a HDD. Also if you want to play on your profile at a friends you need a 360 memory card. If you want to get Live games you need a memory card. If you want to save a game you need a memory card.

And if you dont need one, then you have a HDD, and paid for it. HDD cost is rolled into the units cost. You pay for it one way or another.

The Original you didnt need a memory card because THE ORIGINAL XBOX'S ALL CAME WITH HDDS.

Dont get bitchy with me, especially when your wrong. Tell you what, take out your HDD and take out your memory card.

Good good. Now play a game and try to save.

Oops! You need that Memory unit dont you.

And if this is about the semantics of the SKU coming with a Memory Unit or HDD then stop playing games, we are adults here. The cost of that MU is rolled into the SKU just the same as the HDD is rolled into the SKU. And if you buy the unit off EBay with out a HDD or MU guess what, that 360 is worthless to you until you get one.

And it will cost you, 50 dollars, or 25 pounds. Just about the same price as the PS2 memory card.
