Anyone remeber way back in the day when you bought a genesis you got Sonic with it or a SNES and you got Mario?
Do companies still do pack ins like this or will they ever come back if not? BTW not talking about bundles and holiday deals. I mean you buy one system you get one box, you open it up and there is one system and one game in the box. I think the last time companies did that was on the N64 (star wars and pokemn?)
Honestly, I think this may be a nail in the coffin. 360 already has a larger userbase. And now WalMart is backing HD DVD? That's huge. Everybody shops at WalMart. People going in there for Cheetos and hairspray will likely walk out with the latest Martin Lawrence crapfest on HD DVD for $11.88. And they always have stacks of DVDs by the checkout to tempt people.
Also has anyone noticed how prices end in .99 everywhere except WalMart, where they end in .88? Know why? They're Nazis. ;) Seriously.

Uhh but isn't that assuming that every 360 owner bought the extra HD-DVD drive?
I assume he's suggesting that if HD-DVD really caught on, 360 owners would be more compelled to buy the add-on than they are now. those are potential HD-DVD customers.
Ahhh, yeah I could see that. This could get interesting
