Corris Veteran Posted September 14, 2009 Veteran Share Posted September 14, 2009 Your a NUB for not reading correctly. Here in the US, they dont sell it RETAIL. Like in STORES. Not online. Not everyone will buy cables ONLINE. Where I work, everyones been coming in lately looking for the cables. So before you reply, please do some research.The fact is, even BESTBUY just got them. They never had them before this new bundle. So it shows you microsoft is slowly releasing it to stores but still. Stupid move to remove them. Should of just downgraded the elite with Component instead of HDMI. Jeez, there is getting a point across, and then there is being rude, that was the latter.

Razorwing Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I'd bet they will release a 250GB HD. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lothodon Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 hmm composite...not very nice of them to do that, but everyone's a bean counter these days. and neo, what problems? this isn't a new launch model, it's just more Jaspers, and from experience, to paraphrase, that thing can outlast the Energizer bunny. I don't expect problems with the hard drive, those are just off the shelfers. outlast the energizer bunny, yeah right. many a jasper is suffering the same death as the launch consoles.

Stupid move to remove them. Should of just downgraded the elite with Component instead of HDMI. And I've followed the 360 before it was even released. The cables have been available since launch. You do some research. I don't care what your store supply is like, it doesn't mean they weren't available elsewhere. Either offline or not. Prior to this summer the cables wouldn't even have been in large demand as every 360 came with the cables in the box. What you're seeing at work and best buy is more availability of the cables, not an introduction of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Observer Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 It's not a straight conversion to dollars. Expect MS to price match the PS3 Slim (Y) ?250 is how much Sony are asking for the PS3 Slim. The Elite already costs ?200 in the UK. So for an extra ?50 you ga brand new AAA gameke>, extra controller and 130GB extra HDD :yeFANTASTIC/b> offer. sorry but the blu ray drive makes it a winner for me! Xbox360 needs one and maybe they should open up the hard drive so you can get use your own hard drive! i own a xbox360, and lookin forward to getting a ps3 when the slim's come out!

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted September 14, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted September 14, 2009 Including a BR drive is still a possibility from MS, but not any time soon they've said. And opening up the 360 to any HDD means they'll lose sales, so not very likely that'll happen. PS3 Slim's are already out. They have been since last week.

Shadrack Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Personally I'm waiting for the super-duper 1337 elite. No doubt. All these console makers keep repackaging the same old ****. Why don't they focus on bringing a new console to market instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyJordan Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 my small circle of friends, who, including myself, have dead or dying jaspers That immediately contradicts your previous post: outlast the energizer bunny, yeah right. many a jasper is suffering the same death as the launch consoles. Many doesn't mean your small circle of friends. There haven't been any major stories of unreliable Jasper 360s, so for now, that's the end of that.

t0mbi Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 How many people are going to fill a 250gb HDD? It's easier to fill it on the PS3 cause you can copy your own content to it, but not on the 360! It's preposterous! It's ironic who Microsoft wouldn't allow you to copy content to their HDDs cause it could lead to 'hacks' yet their console has been hackable for the last 3 years :p and the PS3 has the freedom and it's yet to even the slightest hackability :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, you can stream from your PC but i think PS3 can do that too. Also i meant 'hacked' in general. In my opinion, the best hack that can occur to a console is the ability to play copied games, THEN the other stuff (homebrew, media players etc) SO Xbox loses :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok :p You realise a huge factor in the success of winning a console generation is also the ability to pirate games on it. Obviously that isn't ever a design choice by the big wigs, but for gamers it's a deciding factor. Hell, iirc you don't own a PS3 yet yourself tombi, but yet you own a 360 and well, let's leave it at that ;) Cases in point: PS2 Nintendo DS PS1 All 3 won their generations. Just wait til the PS3 is "hacked". There will be a huge sales boom. I guarantee it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only balance there with the PS3 is even although you can copy music/videos from your PC/External drive to PS3 you'd have to take your whole console to a friends, not possible to put your hard drive in another PS3.

On the PSP, it's simply a case of installing custom firmware (unless you've got a fairly new version of the official firmware already installed, in which case, it's a different story :p ) and then you can download the games and stick them straight onto a memory stick.

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted September 14, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted September 14, 2009 I'm not sure they've ever actually given a reason, but no doubt they'd say it's down to the 360 having streaming abilities. After all the Xbox was able to copy music to the HDD. It's not like they couldn't have done it with the 360.. @Kushan, it sure did. Remember I said "a huge factor", i.e one. :p It takes a lot more to win. Like some games to pirate to begin with for instance :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
