Industry Reaction To M$ 360 Price scheme

49$

I wonder how much PS3 will cost with an extra controller something to save on, and a game

Wired controllers are $39.99. And I doubt they\'ll make many.

This shit is overpriced. The fucking memory card is $39.99. The harddrive separate is $99.99.

Get in line! You will all have a chance to be equally gouged.

All games except for the $50 Kameo are tentatively priced by EB at $60.

Prices are all still subject to change.

EDIT:  The latest information is the most relevant.  I do remember J Allard at E3 saying that xbox 360 will be backwards compatible, but they were still trying to figure out exactly how it was going to be done, and what titles would be available, etc.

Can you tell me if J Allard shared that the HD would be needed?

I hate to say it but mm is correct. Microsoft may have not outrightly put all their cards on the table and promised anything - but they sure as hell implied that Xbox360 will be backwards compatible with the more popular games. This is pretty much well established, not just on this forum but everywhere else.

The thing that sucks most about this, is that those people that would be interested most in the backwards-compatibility feature are the cost-conscious ones - the ones that Microsoft is targeting with their "core" package.

Adding to that, the prices on accessories is just horrendous by any standard.

Why bring that ff-ing DC into convo !?

I think they said outright that you require a hard disk for XBox compatibility. I think it might even be on those brochure things people have been circulating.

mm is never right.  The Xbox 360 is backwards compatible, you just need a HD to get it.  

This reminds me of the whole "toy story like graphics" debacle with the PS2.  Stupid people will interpret it wrong and take it completely out of context, and then run with it.

Bring me some quotes, or shut up.

Look at the post and figure it out numbnuts. The whole point was to show not only how industry prices have went up, but how much, we the consumers are gettin\' f**ked. The DC was a great system, low launch price and offered the most bang for the buck.

Oh and for the record, I\'m more concerned about the fact not a single launch title screams "next generation".

rikku, please try and concentrate

you just need a HD to get it.

 was added recently.  microsoft said certain best sellers will be backwards compatible, then it was all games, now you need a HD.

not feeling lied to yet?

you mean people who cant remember what was said at E3 or even a few weeks ago?

omg1111! quotes1111!  linkzorz1111!
pay attention for once or do your own damn seaches.
you get the pleasure of trying to prove me wrong, bro.  never the other way


agreed LIC, i\'ve never felt so underwhelmed at next gen consoles like this round.

Here\'s an advice: do a search for some interviews with Allard just after E3 and you should find some quotes there.

I really can\'t be bothered to try to convince you of something that has been widely established not just on this forum but all the others as well. In fact, just read GAF or check by at the Beyond3d forums to see how Xbox-Pro members are baffled by Microsoft\'s latest fuck-up and that should pretty much ring some bells.

Your ignorance shouldn\'t be my time wasted - sorry.

Back then the x360 was thought to have an HD standard. I guess if I was thirteen and couldn\'t afford jack shit, I would feel cheated and maybe annoyed.

Here\'s some advice for flawed thought out guy like you, why should he provide the quotes and do the research when it\'s mm making the claims? Sad you are

Then shut the pie hole and don\'t bother to respond any longer. Do your self a favour and take your own advice. Oh yeah, if it has been so widely established then mm should have no problems posting the "various quotes" backing his argument up. Funny how all he and you have done is make excuses

I am a long time member at B3d and the members are not making  allegations that M$ lied and deceived anyone. Hell they have not even released the console yet get a grip man. The only complaint from people like myself is the disappointment that the HDD will not be a standard in the 360 thereby giving developers little incentive to really exploit it\'s capabilities. Plus alot of people were hoping that M$ was going to release the console with the HDD at $299.  I know you wanna look cool backing mm  but instead you have made your self look like an ass. You sit there and tell rikku off when he is the only one here being rational about this whole thing.

mm is only making an issue about the HDD cause he has always from Day 1 expressed hatred and trolling towards any of the M$ consoles and every long time psx2 member knows it.
