*sigh*
This is still one of the biggest problems I have with MS regarding the 360. I really enjoy my 360, and at $199 for an Arcade I might end up with two, but the drives are too darn expensive. :-/

It's the equivalent of jumping into a "my ps3 doesn't have rpg's to play" and pasting the tales of vesperia cover. You understand it now?
And yeah, the thing is overpriced. Way overpriced.

That's a good deal, if you buy the Arcade plus the 120GB HD you get basically an Elite for 350 instead of 400
ppl just need to stop all the damn whining about what access cost. yeah its nice about upgrading your ps3 hdd to such a high lev but u still got to pay on average $100 for a bigger hdd, which u wouldnt have to do if sony wouldnt require the stupid hdd installs. yes it would be nice if the 120 hdd was cheaper for the 360, but if u buy it its for music, movies,shows,xbl games,xbox original and dlc. where as if u buy a hdd for the ps3 its because of the stupid installs, plus everything else.

This is a nice list but most people dont buy the 70 dollar hdmi cables. People may be stupid but not that stupid. Also the ps3 is meant for the upper-class people, people who have money as it is priced 400. The xbox 360 is now priced 199, which is mass market. So after the person buys the 360, they have an option for a hard drive if they choose. When they hook it up to their tv, they get stunned by the visuals of halo 3 and gears of war. After telling their friends that they bought an 360, their friends say get xbox live, so he or she does. Now after they get xbox live they figure out that their 360 is not wireless, so they have to hook it to their router or buy the adapter for $70. After all of this they have to pay 199 + 100(optional) + 50(optional) + 70(optional) so they have to pay 199-419. or they could just get a ps3 with uncharted and ratchet for 400 +10 to 70(optional).
xbox 199-419.
ps3 400-470.
Also when you buy an hd tv, do you get and hdmi cable NO. So it isnt sony's fault to not including it.
