Microsoft = not so smart

It was announced today that the Xbox 360 would start at a base price of $299. There will also be a $399 deluxe version with a hard drive, wireless controllers, and an ethernet cable. Wow. Someone should be fired for this decision to split the demographic from the get-go. Let's forget the ridiculously high price for a minute, and just think about the two different versions. The $299 is only the console and one controller. 300 bucks for one damn controller! It will reportedly cost around $50 for another controller. Retarded. Ok but then there's the $399 version. No details about the importance of the additional hard drive have been revealed. So we don't know the point of paying the extra hundred bucks yet. The worst thing of all is that you have to pay $400 and you don't even get wi-fi with the xbox 360. Just make you feel worse about it, they laugh in your face by giving you an ethernet cable. Jerks. Actually, the worst part is that games like Gears of War look so damn good that I'll probably still pay the $400 anyway. I'm such a tool.
