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.

  1. Revolution by eqisow · · Score: 1, Troll

    Awesome, now I know two things. How much money I'll be saving with my Revolution, and that I won't be missing a damn thing.

    I mean at first I was buying a Revolution on principle... because I strongly dislike M$ and I loathe Sony. (not to mention Nintendo makes kick-ass games, and their entire back catalog downloadable) Now, it turns out they're fucking up their consoles anyway. The main advantage of consoles has always been hardware continuity... and $400? Rediculous.

    The Revolution might have a little less power, but at least they don't always overpromise and underdeliver. :)
