vern said:I wonder if we can get a 400 gig HD and slap it into the 360 instead of settling for a measly 20 gigs. I have 300 gigs on my Xbox now and it's barely enough to load games in. I wonder how long it'll take for modders to get out first generation 360 mod chips.
lad_in_brum said:I see on a few other forums that people are complaining about the HD being external etc, but i guess its just a marketinig tactic as well....next year you will be able to buy larger HD's
Just out of curiosity how much you have to put down for the pre-order?tdinc said:wooohooooo pre order 360 slips...well...I had to do it.
Yeah I think Sony would have to come really close if not match MS now, meaning they might be losing a bit more $ then first expecting (as Sony has stated alread the PS3 is going to cost "alot"). This is also surely a guarantee the Revolution will be ~$199. I also agree it's going to cause both confusion as well as some resentment that MS is starting with 2 versions of the 360 right out of the gate (I've heard a possible 3rd version later). They are deviding their market from the beginging which could be rather interesting.Grandmaster said:That pretty much gurantees that the PS3 will sell for $399 as well. Actually I’d be surprised if they put it at $299.
However I hate how they mislead us in the beginning by making it seem as if wireless controllers would be standard. And then they made it seem as if the Harddrive was going to be standard.
With those two things I am dissapointed. Wireless controllers because, well wireless is so much more convenient. Second, splitting the 360 into two segments is just a bad idea. The Xbox having an HD standard was such a huge selling point it had.
