So if it doesn't include the hard drive, what the hell does it have other than HDMI and a new colour (glad I got white by the way).

Wait, aren't they saying that you can buy the 360 HDMI w/120GB HDD for $479; or you can buy the 120GB HDD alone for $200?


EDIT: Wow, $200 for the 120GB HDD is insane either way.

While black 360 + HDMI + 120GB HD is good news, they need to sell it at the same price as the current premium to compete. This will only sell to the hardcore, a market that they already have. To expand to the casual market, they need to start lowering the price or else the competition(particularly the Wii) will catch up within the year.

i.e. They need to "copy" the Nintendo's gameplan with the Wii as opposed to the PS3's.

I'm trying to figure out the same thing! :lol :lol

Does maths and stuff
Maybe they'll lower the price on the normal core set up? Drop the current core and make the current premium (20gb drive, etc) $299 (maybe $379, meh).

WAIT

So what costs $479?

A black 360 WITH a 120 GB HDD? Or not?

Would one have to pay $479 + $200 for a black 360 with a 120 GB HDD or just $479?

Paging Speevy!

$200 ****ING DOLLARS? ARE YOU SERIOUS?

When accessory pricing goes mad!

Then again, isn't the Wi-Fi adapter $100 on its own?
 
$480? Phew, now I don't feel ridiculous for buying my 360 a few weeks ago. The standalone HDD price is classic BOHICA, so I guess I'll learn to deal with having a limited number of demos at any one time.

At just under $200 MSFT is practically giving the 120 hdd away. You guys should be thankful for that price.
How is that giving away?
I can get one for way $100.
ofcourse still a better deal than the 20gig.

Yuk it up for a console that has twice the HDD space and is still $120 cheaper. It's been awhile since PS3 owners laughed.

Is this a joke?

Yay, let's split the market further!

360 is no longer a minimum of a hundred bucks cheaper than the PS3. There goes that talking point.
