Posted: Fri Aug 19, 2005 10:44 pm Post subject: Outrageous Prices, M$ is nuts
$40 for a wired controller and $50 for a wireless (+ ANOTHER $20 for the recharger!). jesus H christ $300 in controllers?!?!. and if that isn't enough, $100 for a measly 20 gig harddrive is ludicris. BUT if you don't shell out the $100 you can buy the <sarcasm>cheaply</sarcasm> priced $40!! memory card so you can save games. f#&@ that, i will not be buying a 360 for a long time to come, and hopefully by then it will be fully moddable and i can throw in a 200 gig hdd for the $100 those bastards want.

actually by the time it comes out youll be able to get a 300 gig HD for 100 bucks so the price of the 20gig is really stupid ,
i think 360 will be a hard nut to crack , it might take a long time before well be able to drop a big drive in it .
i prabably wont buy it till after the first chips come out for it _________________ Xbox v1.0/1.1/1.5/1.6a

$100 for a 20 GB HD sure is crazy, but it was to be expected that they'd push the prizes for the addons since the box itself will prolly be relatively cheap considering the technology in it.
Or maybe its a golden HD
I can also imagine that the controller prizes might drop as soon as 3rd party products are released (unless M$ puts an end to those somehow).

M$ has made it so 3rd party periph's HAVE to be licensed to work and M$ is going to take a cut of the sales. Read more HERE. so don't be expecting cheap 3rd party periph's M$ is seeking to maximize their profits, thats for sure.

hehehe lol.. goood call..
Personally ill be trying to get one as soon as they are released so i can stay on top of all the things we will all need to remember to mod in the future.. I can guarantee you it will be sometime after the intial release before any modchips or software hack are even close to working..
But i can also guarantee you it will be modded.. (and i cant friggen wait either)..
The features along of the next xbox (360) is well worth any money we will be dishing out to buy it..
