Official XBox 360 Thread III: Third Strike

[Brand X]

Apparently there's a second announcement coming tonight at midnight.

Halo 3 beta the same day as the Elite please. Otherwise I don't care.

Hopefully MS knows how important it is for this system to be succesfull.

Keep hoping. The only thing Microsoft knows and cares about is taking your money. This Elite news is so damn retarded. Three SKUs on the market now? No stabler chip set? 120GB harddrive for $180? GTFO!

So fucking true. This move by Microsoft is fucking retarded. The only thing separating PS3 and 360 in terms of value was the price, and now the 360 is directly competing with the PS3 price wise and not competing feature wise. GG MS.

Exactly, this thing needed the HD-DVD drive in it to even make one bit of sense in regards to releasing yet another version to the public.

And that HD upgrade price, um wow...

[Bacon McShig]

Considering it's 6x the memory of the 20gb and they charge $100 for that, the price isn't nearly as bad anyone should have been thinking it would be.

Basically you need a $680 Xbox360 to compete with a $500 PS3. LOL@M$!

One thing the PS3 did right was allowing standard 2.5"HD replacements

It doesn't make it acceptable.

Are you sure? I heard replacement instructions are in the PS3 owners manual.
