I'm tired of multiple SKU's clogging the console pipeline, most priced more than last-gen. I just want to play my games. Also, holy crap 320gb why would you need that much. Talk about overkill and they still make you pay for it if you want the other features. This generation is frustrating.

Its a nice machine, but the price will be high.

MS has as many SKUs as Sony, lets not take that route.

A question for you lems. How does it feel knowing that MS feels it's necessary to COPY PS3 EXACTLY?!?

Anyone know how much this model is going for? Had they released this model at launch don't be surprised if the price tag was 800 dollars.

I am now angry at Microsoft. If this is $500 or anything like that, I'm going to have to apologize to Sony. I feel screwed for getting the system last year.

I heard about the whole "built in hd dvd" thing over at kotaku.com and if the news is true then I can't wait for all the people (including me) who'll be q!$$3d 0ff when certain blockbuster titles either A) require an hd dvd player or B) Require you to install/play the game using multiple (I'm talking 3+ discs here) dvds.

Not when HD movie downloads are $6 a pop and you have a limited range of choices (Yes I know there are over 300 movies and it comes down to preference but regardless my opinion stands).

I mean seriously. I've had my 360 for over 2 years now and even though I just got XBL back in October, I still have 10.5 GB space available and they only give you 13GB to begin with.

I actually like the multiple SKUs introduced this gen. It allows those who want more get more and those who want less get less for a cheaper price. That being said I think all SKUs should be released initially. I hate to buy a console and then a year later have a better SKU come out thats now the same price as I paid for mine.

If true I feel bad for my stores storage closet...the arcade edition is already taking up enough room in our stores lock-up, the 40 gig PS3 is not fairing well either. Now all we need is some pluged HD-DVD.

Anyone who ever said Sony sucks becaue they put Blu-Ray in the system, it is manditory to say MS sucks because HD-DVD was not even standard with the first SKU, lol Format wars.

Does this mean that there will be: the core 360, the premium, the elite, the arcade, the halo edition 360 and the ultimate all available at the same time?

6 SKUs, really? I thought they'd follow Sony and cut down on the SKUs...Sony only has 2 now. Come on MS, what's the point of this new one?

There's actually been a lot of talk about a new 360 with a built in HD DVD drive. If it is true though, expect to hear it at CES in less then a week or E3.
