whilst everyone has mentioned the ethernet and memory card aspects, i'd just like to take a moment and point something out:
"unless they plan on selling memory sticks, which I haven't heard anything on yet"
he's actually right...hold on squire, hear me out...they are not releasing 'memory sticks' because it doesn't use 'memory sticks' they use their own memory card. Why would they want to help Sony by using their 'memory sticks'?
Incidently, yes the HD is key to the XBox, but not the 360.
I think the starter package is just what is required, the softcore gamers don't want all the fancy pants wireless stuff, they just want to buy their kids the 'latest thing' without going overboard on price. I think MS have it right with this setup.
whilst I agree with you that film cameras are a good thing, mr and mrs joe bloggs want the best picture they can take with the least hassle possible - which is digital. They don't want to know what shutter speed setting they need or film to buy etc they just want to take photographs, therefore digital cameras are here to stay - until the next "easy" thing comes along.
looks like my brain cells aren't functioning at the moment (atm) either.
I mean't to say: "but anyone with more than two functioning brain cells can see that they are doing their job and that if they don't like the way they do business, don't go there, it is as simple as that."
