Not really, technology goes down in price. It is just like me telling people that have Quad Cores on the PC right now that they were milked when I buy mine a few months later.

But people actually do. Now to get to the main point. Lemmings are not milked. Most will just get the 120 GB HDD.

If you are going to truly get one, I would wait until the fall when the new 65nm chips are in production for the system.

I don't need 120gb of space, i want a 360 premium for $300. Even though i have an HDTV, component is good enough.

That is probably what is going to happen. Either they keep the core and drop it $100 as well or they just get rid of the core all together and the premium becomes the new core at $300. I expect this new XBOX to be cheaper than $480 though, unless they are including the tax with that number?

120GB HDD is no cheap , nor is the new HDMI so $480 seems reasonable

I would think so. Basically if this article is true and they will start selling these things in early spring, but those will still have the old chips in them. Basically the only new things would be a better/quieter DVD player, bigger HDD (120GB) and HDMI, plus a HDMI cord.

Might as well wait a few more months and get the entire upgrade, with all of that stuff mentioned above, plus the new 65nm chip. On top of that, you never know when a price drop might happen or bundles.

but i am being bloody honist.

i would only buy one cus it's black and injoy the rest of the perks. *games ect*

but if it doesn't and there is a game i really want *again im being honest i have baught consoles for 1 game*

i would just buy a black shell or something and mod it myself

(i know it's not black but you get the idea get off my back!)

Lol i just realized something...........people are complaining about MS ripping them off, but they actually include the HDMI CABLE! :lol: A 120GB HDD is about $100 so $480 isn't too bad, but i'm poor so i'll wait. Plus i want to know for sure i have a 65nm Xenon chip :D

what do you mean its not cheap? a laptop 120gb hard drive is $82 yet m$ will charge many times more than that. $300+ 82 = $382 so m$ do its usual riping you off there is no way hdmi costs $100

Not everyone is drooling to have a Xbox Elite the added features are not that important to casuals. i myself will be buying my own Xbox 360 if the Premium drops price. thats all i'll need to play games. not just saying this bt lemming been saying it for awhile about how blueray doesn't mean much and in a way this is the same.i don't think MS will pull a sony and only have it's most expensive hardware availible. if anything the early adobters can trade in there 360 or sell to someone if they want a Elite but i don't think it's as many as you think. IF anything most are thinking i can buy me an elite when my 360 breaks or in 4 years when there 150.

So there is all this hype for the next gen console from Microsoft, The X-Box 360 yay! So we buy this awsome console....... One year later, guess what? OMG a all new and better X-Box 360 is coming out, and the live sevice is being geared to run better with the New Xbox 360 Huh. So if we wan't to take full advatage of what Microsoft is trying offering us we will have to buy the new console. YAY?

 

I don't think so, this is such a douchebag move by Microsoft. So what in a year after this new launch, what we will have to buy a all new console again, just a little bit better? And So on and so on. Let the ultimate milkage from MIcrosoft begin! I feel sorry for are kids.

Funny thing is the whole cow things started from Sony "milkage".... and this gen they have done the exact opposite with generic HDDs and memory cards. While on the other hand now MS overcharges terribly for proprietary accessories and is milking far far worse than Sony ever did. And now every argument against like "no one is forcing you to buy it" that the cows used are now being used by the lemmings....... when really to use the 360 to the fullest you are forced to buy the junk.

Well, if you buy it, you're still getting better hardware. That being said, I agree it isn't a cool thing for MS to do to their fanbase.

By cow logic, anyone who buys a car is "milked" when the next year's model is better than the previous one. They're idiots.

Analogy failed. We expect cars to be outdated after one year. That's not a surprise. I DID NOT expect Microsoft to release a newer, better version after only 1.5 years. To my recollection, it's the 1st time a console has had such significant changes/additions after such a short period of time. Not cool. Will I still buy it? Absolutely. I don't like owning an "older, inferior" model. Am I happy about it? Not really.

well I would rather MS do this then have had to wait the last year and a half for any 360! not angry, just envious of new owners. but then its not even on the shelves yet.
