This is incorrect, it does NOT include the gold service, only the silver service. Gold will cost the same as the current XBL service does. Read around a bit more next time.

[Carlo210]

Well it includes a 1 month Gold trial. I guess that's what he meant or he just read it wrong.

Carlo I think you miss the point! I think you need to revaluate your idea. What I see is big busineess making an artificial supply and demand curve and exposing it. From my experience and I'm work in the chip/software making industry it is very common practise to charge you dollars to our pennies! Hence the fact this is why the last console I owned not moded was SNES, and then after that I had a chipped PS1, and now I have a moded XB. I'm not a fan of any one cooperation specially M$ or the jap mono Sony! However, when I look to a system I look at its functionality. What can it do for, or what can I do to get it to do more for me. Flooding the market place with a artificial supple and demand curve I think is rather cheap! That is why I use open source. that is one of the biggest reasons people come to this forum. Although it is implied rather then explixit you have to dig deep to get it. With todays technology you think people would get it that it is faster easier better ways to develop silicin, and manufactor top notch games/software it would be affordable for anyone but if here is the catch if they did that they couldn't charge you an arm or a leg for it. Same idea as some of the Eletrical Engineer peers I used to have that used to develop the traffic devices that allowed you to turn red lights to green. He used to make them for $20 bucks and charge $500 for them on net back in 01-03 he paid for 3 terms of his college that way not to mention other toys he had.

Put up with it if you know you need to. Think about it this way, it's either no Xbox360 and 5 years without next gen gaming or spending the extra 10 bucks here and there.

They also have to count inflation!

Though I still think $50 for a wireless controller is pricy, when I could get a wave bird for $40, a few years ago...

Oh well, it should have ok games, and even if those suck, once its modded I shall have one bitchen computer!

20 bucks a faceplate, what a rip.

what pisses me off on the face plates is 1) the price, but 2) the fact that the carbon fiber "looking" one is just painted on, that is gay (i really wanted it b4 i knew that to).
