Microsoft loves us. They're giving us Xbox lovers some choice in our next-gen purchase, each with ups and downs. Alot of Xbox fans I know are tied between which 360 retail package they're getting. You've got the Xbox 360 Core system, that retails for $299.99, and includes the system, a wired controller, and the necessary cables. Then you've got the Premium Package, which retails for a whopping 400 bucks, but includes the system, a hard drive, a wireless controller, and all the niceties. It's true, the Premium Package does include all the goods for the fans, but the other package is cheap. One could either buy the expensive 360 package and be satisfied for months on end, or one could get the core system, and buy the other accesories gradually. Or even more-so, for the filthy rich buyers, you could get one of those fancy Gamespot/Walmart/EB bundles that retail for 600 to 2000 dollars! Anyway, vote, debate, because I want to see what you guys think..

I am getting the real package, you know the $400 one. The other package is for secondary systems, internet cafes, and really stupid parents.

Definitely going with the $399 package. For a $100 more, you get a HDD and more. I think that's worth it.

I wish I had money to buy one. I don't think I'll have enough money to get two games.....:(

I'll be buying the $400 package. I don't really feel like paying $300 for an Xbox Three Shitty. The $400 pack has so much bang for the buck when you realize how much half of the packed in stuff (like the HDD or Media Remote) really costs when bought on it's own.

I'll buy the $400 bundle and I think if given the choice that is what everyone will buy.

The idea behind the $299 package is to "buy the core package, and upgrade slowly and gradually according to the gamer". I think that accounts for something.

I'm at a toss between the 399 package or the one higher.... so I went with the higher one.

Assuming I buy one, I'd get the $399 one. The $299 one is worth just a little more than doggy doo doo. Just a little.

Well, with the cheap one, you get what you wanted, and Xbox 360, right? Well then, if you get the system for a hundred dollars cheaper, then you're in. The idea is to upgrade your system at your own pace.

Nope, the core package is around for one sole purpose. To allow MS to advertise the 360 as costing only $299. If I buy a 360 I'd get the $399 package but at this point I've scratched the 360 of my list.

:D :D :D :D :D
But you don't even like the Xbox!!

Did I ever say I hate them? Well I don’t ^_^ and 360 is sounding sweater by the minted. If Nintendo did happen to fall like Sega and goes software only then id hope they team up Microsoft X-box and not Sony. I never played or even touch an x-box ever and there is nothing coming out that I what for it and I’m saying its looking sweat all ready. I really thing I may just go buy a X-box 360 as the second home system and levee Sony with none of mi cash flow this time, Quick here your chance to make me what it more then Sony PS3 look see >> I’m variable :chick:


NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Man you went all dearth Vader on me their LOL

Nintendo Revo: I’m em your father! X-Box 360: NOOOOOOO…??! Whit then what does that make the Sony PS3? o_O

Joy! There giving us a choice? How wonderful... Sigh... the 299 package is just stupid. So I would definitley go with the 399 pakage.... Yet it is definitley expensive set up... Not only do you have to buy the very expensive system you also have to buy the games. Games price costing what? Even if it was the normal 50 bucks per game it still adds up fast. Plus If I was going to do the system up right you got to buy the High Definition TV, wires etc. Not mentioning the Extra controlers, etc. Though I hope everyone who buys it will get a nice sound system to listen to it on... Really I don't know how people can listen to there tv speakers... Sigh... I never have tried Xbox before except at my friends... Seems okay just don't know how there new system will turn out... Think I am going to give it a try maybe. If I can muster up the money.... After all I have alot of other things I know I like over the Xbox... Namley food, movies (dvds theaters) other consoles and games, transportation(stupid cars cost so much to maintain!) computer uprages (not mentioning the very expensive software updates I get, Macromedia, Maya, Adobe, etc) It all adds up to <I'll wait and see> sorry Microsoft... :sorry: Are you really worth it??? :hmm:
