Cliff is a half tard!! He's all about companies making money, and screwing the consumer! Cliff, go back to your mother's basement and worry about making good games, and leave the predictions about console demise to someone else. Oh, and while your in the basement, come up with something other than Gears...how long have you been riding that game!
NO Shiite!! Of course Gamestop gonna give the ol stink eye to Microsoft.
I completely agree with your sentiments about HD upgradeability. I think however, that Microsoft didn't allow for HD changing, because they want to make sure they get profits from selling you overpriced proprietar HD's that they make. It wasn't an oversight, it was all planned to line their pockets even more. Its the classic nickel and diming of the consumer.
