What do you except. M$ are not in the console market to make you happy they are in it to make money by either fair means or foul !!! They couldn’t give a toss about you. But show them some of that corporate money and you can join the club.
Cunts, wankers, fuck heads, mother fuckers, bastards, and pricks.

How does that surprise u?? Typical xbox nonesense. Actually that advert not so bad when you consider they put out a machine with a 58% failure rate. Not 30% as they would have u believe, they are being sued in California for lying about their reliabilty and in Germany they are being sued for releasing a machine that did not hit safety or reliability targets.

This is the way Microsoft does marketing. It has been this way from day one with them. Even PC owners never know from the ads what they need to run Windows. And now on November 19th Microsoft will do it again, Arcade owners will be forced to upgrade their hardware if they even want to go find a movie to download. The New Xbox Experience requires more memory than is installed in the Arcade so you will have to either find a 512mb memory card, 20gb refurbished drive or buy the new X-Box Live update package for $99 USD… So there you go the inexpensive introductory x-box needs more money to go online…

I think when you consider all the positive things MS is doing right now, and all the things they have done for gaming since 360 alone, this just is not that big of a deal, your really reaching here. Its not like they did not mention that you need a HDD at all.

We are getting a whole new UI for the console free of charge for godsake, instead of writing this flamebate type negative BS why not concentrate on the positive, this is the best time to be a gamer in history.

You can get a hard drive for twenty bucks now with the program microsoft is doing for NXE. And its not misleading when the thing says Need a Harddrive they wouldnt put that there if they were advertising the Elites or pro models duurrr

A few things to clear up.
One – this is a UK advert. So it’s in GBP, not USD, tax is included in the price (VAT).
Two – Netflix doesn’t work fine as it’s not offered in the UK. So it doesn’t work at all.
Three – Unfortunately I was not writing for Loot-Ninja.com when the PS3 shenanigans regarding Backwards Compatibility occurred. But I was looking to buy a PS3 and that’s one of the major reasons I didn’t buy a PS3.

I think the people who will be most pissed off are the people who get an Arcade as a gift. How many under-informed and under-researched parents, aunts, uncles, and girlfriends/boyfriends are out there that will just buy the cheap one? I know as kid it sucked getting the wrong gift or half-assed versions of the gift you wanted. Think of all those poor kids who want the Xbox 360 Elite to watch HD movies on and instead they end up with a Wii because their drunk uncle said, “It plays video games, he’ll like it!”
