As to not being backward compatible, that's the same underhanded trick $ony pulled with their latest PS3 40GB model. What scammers! Hmm, pay $50 less and you'll need to buy a PS2 or original XBox if you want to play the hundreds of titles that are already available (not to mention lose the rack space for the extra system). They're being nothing but money whores.]]>Oct 23rd 2007 1:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/microsoft-announces-xbox-360-arcade-goodbye-xbox-360-core/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/microsoft-announces-xbox-360-arcade-goodbye-xbox-360-core/
And unlike the 40GB PS3, if you want B/C later on, you can add a hard drive and get it. Choice, you know?]]>Oct 23rd 2007 1:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/microsoft-announces-xbox-360-arcade-goodbye-xbox-360-core/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/microsoft-announces-xbox-360-arcade-goodbye-xbox-360-core/
The same thing happens with the DVD, if they put in HD-DVD into every console from the start, then they could make games that could go up to 30GB. But the 360 was rushed to the market before that could happen.]]>Oct 28th 2007 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/microsoft-announces-xbox-360-arcade-goodbye-xbox-360-core/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/microsoft-announces-xbox-360-arcade-goodbye-xbox-360-core/I hate to say it but this may really hurt Sony...
well, except that it doesn't come with HD-DVD.

I guess you have to add another ~ $150 if you wanna watch HD with it...lol

Does anyone know if this new version allows you to add a hard drive yourself?]]>Oct 23rd 2007 12:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/microsoft-announces-xbox-360-arcade-goodbye-xbox-360-core/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/microsoft-announces-xbox-360-arcade-goodbye-xbox-360-core/Oct 23rd 2007 12:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/microsoft-announces-xbox-360-arcade-goodbye-xbox-360-core/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/microsoft-announces-xbox-360-arcade-goodbye-xbox-360-core/Oct 23rd 2007 12:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/microsoft-announces-xbox-360-arcade-goodbye-xbox-360-core/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/microsoft-announces-xbox-360-arcade-goodbye-xbox-360-core/Oct 23rd 2007 1:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/microsoft-announces-xbox-360-arcade-goodbye-xbox-360-core/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/microsoft-announces-xbox-360-arcade-goodbye-xbox-360-core/
180 + 270 = 450 which is less than a 80GB PS3, or you could get 29 GB drive for $90 for $360(cheaper than a 40GB PS3) and still have money left over to pay for XBL.

some places stopped selling the core do to low Core sales...but this should revive the low end 360 pack.

If you were ever shopping with your own money and wanted to buy something relatively expensive, I'm sure you had the thrill: you fork big buck and buy something just to find that it is pretty useless unless you fork off more bucks.

Price of new game is $60. Arcade costs about 5 games; Premium - 6 games; Elite - 8 games.

That's pretty big investment to make on a whim.]]>Oct 23rd 2007 6:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/microsoft-announces-xbox-360-arcade-goodbye-xbox-360-core/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/microsoft-announces-xbox-360-arcade-goodbye-xbox-360-core/Oct 23rd 2007 1:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/microsoft-announces-xbox-360-arcade-goodbye-xbox-360-core/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/microsoft-announces-xbox-360-arcade-goodbye-xbox-360-core/Oct 23rd 2007 1:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/microsoft-announces-xbox-360-arcade-goodbye-xbox-360-core/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/microsoft-announces-xbox-360-arcade-goodbye-xbox-360-core/

emphasis on wasting...there's no games for the ps3...meanwhile I'm broke and sad that there are so many games coming out that I can't get for the 360 :(
