If you don\'t know how much they cost then how can you even present an arguement?

Find some facts then come back, thanks.

But you don\'t even have a case.  You don\'t have any evidence in the form of facts, and that means you don\'t have any clue what the mark-up is.  What\'s the precentage of the mark-up?  How much is it sold for over costs?  Is it outrageously marked up more than similar type goods?

Where in the hell is your arguement?

mm, I normally like you but this is one case where you\'re just spouting hot air. a hard drive is not simply a bit of wire and plastic. and I doubt you\'ve completed any university units on marketing. you should stop trying to act smug because your act is wearing thin.

c\'mon man, you may be older than most of us, but you can\'t say you know something we don\'t. if you did, you\'d tell us straight instead of dancing around questions and important points.

I think MS were teh smart with the two models. I mean, little Johnny will get the core version for Christmas (because of the cost). Then later when he complains about the shitty system he got, they\'ll have to upgrade - and the HD upgrade alone will be 100 bucks.... cha ching! I suppose they learnt from DELL. ;)
