Xbox 60 GB Live Starter Pack

[TheBadazz]

from Teamxbox.com

Earlier this month, Microsoft revealed that the New Xbox Experience will require systems to have at least 128MB of free space, which automatically let some Xbox 360 owners (those who got a Core edition) in the dark. As a result, Microsoft is offering several storage solutions for those Core owners that want to Jump In to the New Xbox Experience on November 19th. One, it's the Xbox 360 Memory Upgrade Program. Today, GameStop revealed that Microsoft has a new option ready for the holiday season.

As its name implies, the Xbox 360 60GB Live Starter Pack includes a 60 GB Hard Drive, plus an Xbox 360 headset, a 3-month LIVE Gold subscription, and Ethernet cable. That basically means this pack has everything not included with the basic Xbox 360 system. How much does it cost? As you'd expect, it sells for $99,

I have the other stuff I just want the 60 gig HDD. It seems like it should be priced around $79.99, if you remove the XBLive gear. Gamestop.com says it ships on 11/4.

I know, just passing info. 60gigs is better that 20gigs, but not by that much.

So in turn you pretty much turn your Arcade/Core into a Premium for the same price.

Only thing missing is the component cables.

By 40 gigs actually.

but I'm still gonna snag a 120 gig HDD off ebay once the new dashboard comes out. Gotta have room for multiple games copied to the HDD.

Microsoft is pretty much trapping people in corners with the cost of their memory upgrades. If you play games or watch movies, sooner or later you'll have to upgrade to a overpriced hard drive. It just seems like this console hasnt been very consistent since day 1 from different price points, faulty design, nickel and diming with DLC.

But their base is hard drive from the beginning. Both companies are really getting crappy with their offers it seems. I guess I'll wait a little and re-sale my premium for an Elite one of these days. Definitely could use that space for the rotation.......

I guess my point is that I'm very discouraged with the direction that the gaming industry is heading as a whole. There is no consistency, like for instance Blueray and Hd. Say you plunck down the money for the hd drive add on and then find out that they are discontinuing it?? You buy a Premium Xbox then find out they are selling a better one in the Elite? You buy a hard drive and a year later find out you need a bigger one.

Believe it or not, there are casual gamers out there that the industry is killing off. Gamers that don't go on message boards and keep up to date on the latest breaking news. Seriously how confusing is buying a console nowadays?? Before it was console a or b? Now its console a or b or c, then you need to decide should I buy the a1 or a2 or a3? Ohh and I need this add on if I go with a3 but I don't need it with a1 and a2.
