"Add to Club Wedd?" Is that like a wedding registry service? Hmm, interesting so a bride could get a wedding ring and a RRoD in the same day?

Called Target corporate customer service, and was told they made a mistake and put up the $299.99 price too early and that its not on sale until Sunday actually. :(]]>Jul 11th 2008 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/xbox-360-pro-hits-299-in-target-stores/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/xbox-360-pro-hits-299-in-target-stores/Jul 11th 2008 9:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/xbox-360-pro-hits-299-in-target-stores/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/xbox-360-pro-hits-299-in-target-stores/

The big question is, what will happen to the PS3. SONY dicked around too long bringing the PS3 to market and to tell the truth, there is NO GAME on PS3 that captures my attention. Despite the face this thing was suppossed to be the ultimate next generation system...Xbox360 has proven that it takes more than just a high tech DVD player to be a true gaming system. You gotta have a huge selection of 1st party software.

SONY got that right with the PS1, faultered in the beggining with the PS2 and completely botched it al on the PS3.

What are the top games right now?

MGS4?
GTA4?
Battlefield Bad Company
Call of Duty 4.

Besides MGS4, most PS3 games are ports from the 360. What's worse is that the PS3 hasn't been repackaged as a SKU containing the DUAL SHOCK 3 except for the MGS4 editions which are sold out or going for so much over the MSRP on EBAY that they are untouchable.


My recommendations to SONY.

Decide what you're gonna do.
Repackage the system and put the DS3 in it pronto.
Price drop to $300



And as for Microsoft..its about goddamned time the 360 had a built in WiFi don't you think?]]>Jul 12th 2008 12:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/xbox-360-pro-hits-299-in-target-stores/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/xbox-360-pro-hits-299-in-target-stores/

I shoulda bought the PS3 when it included a $100 gift card but I don't like the fact that the 40gb doesn't include PS2 backwards compatibility.]]>Jul 11th 2008 11:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/xbox-360-pro-hits-299-in-target-stores/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/xbox-360-pro-hits-299-in-target-stores/
People buy cars because they need to get from place to place. It would be silly to buy a car just to use it as a super expensive radio or worse a horribly environmentally unfriendly air conditioner for your garage. People do so with the PS3 though. Some buy it as a cheap blu-ray player. Some as a media extender or cause it has linux and you can surf the web on your tv with it incluidng mouse/keyboard support.]]>Jul 12th 2008 4:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/xbox-360-pro-hits-299-in-target-stores/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/xbox-360-pro-hits-299-in-target-stores/Jul 12th 2008 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/xbox-360-pro-hits-299-in-target-stores/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/xbox-360-pro-hits-299-in-target-stores/Jul 12th 2008 6:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/xbox-360-pro-hits-299-in-target-stores/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/xbox-360-pro-hits-299-in-target-stores/Jul 12th 2008 8:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/xbox-360-pro-hits-299-in-target-stores/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/xbox-360-pro-hits-299-in-target-stores/Jul 12th 2008 9:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/xbox-360-pro-hits-299-in-target-stores/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/xbox-360-pro-hits-299-in-target-stores/
that said, while i think we'd all like as many gb's as possible, i don't think the elite is necessary. i order to get the most out of the 360 (media-wise) i think streaming content is a better way to go about it. with a multiple options for windows user and even great options for mac users (i've really liked connect360) i don't have a huge need -- even though i want -- a bigger hard drive.

now if you want to download tons of original xbox stories...well, i guess you're buying an elite =)
