XBOX 360 launch

Hey guys, did you see the XBOX 360 by any chance? Microsoft is launching 360 on November 22 this year. And boy, Am I sad! This time around, they are launching 2 packages - One is called the XBox core system, priced at a decent $299(!), basically to impress losers like me who don't have money on them. This one has just the console (without the hard drive), a WIRED controller ( just like its predecessor) and an AV cable - that's it. To save your games you need to buy extra memory cards. By the way, the core system would not play older Xbox games if you don't have a hard drive. And if you decide to buy one - that's an extra 100 bucks!



The other package is simply called Xbox 360 - for "the ultimate gaming experience" . This one comes with the console , 20 GB detachable and expandable hard drive, a WIRELESS controller,AV cable, Headset and ethernet cable. This one is priced at a whopping 399!

You may intially decide to buy the core system, but it will just not help in the long run because any and every gamer knows that gaming is no fun without the hard drive. Saving games on memory cards is pretty sickening. Plus, if you have a hard drive, you may store songs and movies on to it too.

No news on the PS3. Anyway, Sony has already anounced that PS3 is going to be an expensive gadget, so no point cosidering it.

But I really like the PSP. Big screen, amazing graphics. But the price really lets you down.


Nintendo is also planning to launch its new console called revolution. It seems that it will be pretty cheap and "full of surprises". i don't know, never felt like buying the Gamecube - Nintendo doesn't impress me anymore.
