Xbox360 Pricing, 2 Models at Launch
Tom writes "According to news in the LA Times, Microsoft will release two Xbox 360 packages when the console is launched later this year. The basic package will retail for $299 and will not include a hard disk, nor will it include a wireless controller, instead shipping with a wired pad.
The second package will retail for $399 and will include a 20 Gb hard disk, wireless controller, wireless headset, Ethernet cable and remote control. No release date has been revealed, but a mid to late November date is expected."
Have you seen the front of the console???
the memory sticks go in the controllers..
I thought you needed a Monster Cable Xbox Ethernet Cable to get the most out of Live. Your bits simply don't flow as smoothly through brand-X cables.

You think the USA makes stuff! That's adorable! Hold that pose while I fetch my digital camera! Oh, wait, there's one in my mobile
Whence? Hence. Whither? Thither.
If we don't make anything, how the fuck do we make pollution?
Oh, I figured they were salvaging them from $50 iBooks from the Henrico County schools...
What I'm listening to now on Pandora...
That, or have absolutely no titles on the shelves next to the console, which is kinda primo retarted when you think about it.
:).
All these young whippersnappers whining about launch titles...back in my day, you were lucky if there were ANY launch titles, dammit. You bought the console, took it home, hooked it to the TV, and waited. And you liked it, dammit! Just kept the damn thing dusted, because you knew the titles would come out someday.
Okay, maybe that's a little over the top. But am I the only one who remembers the days of single-digit launch titles? Where you counted yourself lucky to have MULTIPLE launch titles?
Maybe I'm just old
Dude, come on. He was looking for any conceivable reason to bitch, and you had to go and take it away from him. That wasn't very nice of you.
I can get one right here.

I remember a time when I was at [some fast food chain, probably McDonalds], and they had no small drink! It was Medium, Large, and Biggie-Extra-Value-Super-Fun-Size. On top of that, the Medium was the same size as the Large I was expecting. It was like I'd just eaten some teacake in wonderland and everything was fscked up.
;P ) That 3rd 1/4 lb patty would just be nonsense!
Your burger analogy is from Wendys. They noticed almost nobody ordered the Classic Triple, and removed it from the menu. Directly following this, they noticed a steep decline in Classic Double sales. So they brought it back, and Double sales went back to normal. Somehow it legitimizes the "medium" purchase when there's an "absurdedly large" one that you're not getting. Its like ordering 2 x 1/4 lb patties with bacon, cheese, and fries the size of your head is showing restraint. (note: this is what i grew up snarfing as a teenager
This is where I get my recommended daily allowance of "Foot in Mouth."
What I do like so far is that they have said virtually nothing; they are quietly learning from the other 2. On the other hand, Sony and M$ have over promised
They named their next system "Revolution" and you say they're not over promising?
Buying a console just on principle? Not into the whole "informed purchase" are you?
That would explain all the "R U 133T @ ebay? Make $4,000 / week!!one1" signs posted on the side of the road in the Redmond/Bellevue area.

Sigh... If only. Modding would be so much more fun.
