Seriously, i was about to buy an Xbox 360 elite. I was going to go with the shitty engineering and color scheme to go with the console I thought would be better.
"wow" i thought, they are going to actually SUPPORT their format and make a 360 with an onboard HD-DVD drive, giving the developers a chance to make HD-DVD games, giving the 360 a chance for redemption.
WRONG
they added a hard drive half the size of the one i have in my PS3 and made upgraded the processor's heatsink. WOWEE KABOOTLES, THAT MAKES IT WORTH 500$ NOW. Really, those things should come with Xbox live. free. for life. Because after i bought all of the bullshit to get "the most out of my 360" i would be pretty far up in hawk (if i was stupid enough to buy a 360, i would beleive i needed the following garbage):
Console - 500$
Of course, this is a given
HD-DVD drive - 200$
gotta have my high-def movies...
low-quality over-priced web cam - 50$
i like telecommunications
Windows Vista - 200#
It said I needed it to get the most out of my system
Extra computer hardware - 500$+
so vista can digitally render every one of my windows and steam videos of the digitally-rendered windows flying around like retarded kites.
One other issue before i close up, WHY ARENT THEY USING HD-DVDs FOR THEIR GAMES!?!?! Everybody is like "LOL, PS3 IZ GONNA LODE SLOW BCUZ IT ONLY HAZ 1x BLUE REI, ROFLLECOPTER SANDWICH"
ORLY, lets look at this think respectively
1x blu-ray drive is capable of transmitting gaming information at about 54mb/s.
16x DVD disc is capable of about 10mb/s.
last time i checked, 54 > 10, which would mean that the 360 would load the same amount of data at about 1/5th of the speed. not to mention the processor is slower.
