stop going on about the cost, gets annoying the same old post over and over again

Maybe I am only one voice but £425 if this is the 60Gb version - reasoning above seems well founded - is not that bad when you consider the following
£210 - basic no frills X360
£100 - reasonable guess for 60Gb hdd if MS offered this option
£50+ Reasonable guess for MS upgrade to hd-dvd
£30 HDMI / DVI cable

Livestrong said:well everyone on this site seems like there skint? the way they complain, but when it comes to Ati or Nvidia gpu cards everyones flush to pay £400 for a single card which is out of date within a few months?????
M0T said:But the problem is that Microsoft has given consumers the option of paying £210 for a console, £20 for a memory card and away you go. If you want a hard drive, hd-dvd, dvi cable then you can have one. Sony is forcing everyone to buy everything.

Ok so thats around £390 but you get the idea ( and blu-ray would no doubt be more expensive to develop compared to hd-dvd)
Yes its expensive in comparison to previous consoles, but you are also getting more for your money in comparison also
Bring on pre-orders is what I say!!!
