Preorder X360 at EB for only....

[Master of 7s]

Why do people buy shit from EB anyway?

I don't need all the peripheral shit, wireless means nothing to me and the HDD is a non-issue for me.

Core system, memory card, DOA4 and Kameo. That's all.

Are you really that strapped for sixty dollars? (If you are, then you probably should not be buying a X360).

Seriously dude, you're going to regret buying the retard pack once you join the 21st century.

[Schlep]

If someone's not gonna play online, the premium pack is just as pointless.

[StriderKyo]

Unless they want backwards compatibility, extra content, custom soundtracks, dvd functionality, faster load times, more storage than a memory card or a wireless controller, that is.

[Schlep]

If it weren't for online play, I wouldn't get the premium version. I've got an xbox, can use my iPod for custom soundtracks, dvd functionality is in both systems, will wait an extra few seconds, can make do with a 64 MB memory card, and don't care about wireless controllers.

Where they get me is the headset, and the downloadable content.

I've got an xbox,

Which you could likely trade in for more than the $60 difference in systems.

can use my iPod for custom soundtracks,

That'd be super fun to set up each and every time you play.

dvd functionality is in both systems,

Only as long as you have that remote that comes with the $399 pack, just like Xbox 1.

will wait an extra few seconds,

Okay.

can make do with a 64 MB memory card,

Maybe; there were plenty of Xbox 1 saves that wouldn't even fit on a memory card (hello, Fatal Frame). This card's bigger. and devs will be required to compress save files for it, but it'll still fill up. If you end up buying two over the course of the system's lifetime, that's basically the extra cost of the $399 pack.

and don't care about wireless controllers.

You should, they're awesome.

Putting an iPod in a dock isn't very hard.

Only as long as you have that remote that comes with the $399 pack, just like Xbox 1.

I dunno where you're getting this from. The leaked brochures and Xbox.com make no mention of needing the remote to watch DVDs.

That factors into me getting the $399 version somewhat. I would still go with the $299 version if it weren't for the online stuff.

Btw....now that it's confirmed that first-party games (at least) will be $49.99, the savings comes to $2 not counting shipping.

Because they don't want to stand in line overnight in November. No way you'll just walk into a store and pick this thing up for at least a month or two.

with prices like this i dont think initial inventory will be selling out quickly.

I think my neighbour said he's buying two, one for him and his kids, and one for his brother's family. Damn Italians.
