Cause it's hard work to put that 2.5in SATA laptop HDD of your own choosing in the slot....You grasp that this is internal memory and it has an empty HDD bay right? And unlike MS not using overpriced proprietary HDDs you can get 1tb for less than $100, hell you can find 500gb for less than $50....
You do realize that for less than $100 bucks you can get a 1tb HDD and pop it in right? Hell since it takes ANY 2.5in SATA laptop HDD you could use any one that you might have lying around....I would assume that this model is purely to catch casuals and IF it hooks them they decide oh I better go buy an HDD it's pretty smart unlike the rip-off 4gb 360 that does not tell you anywhere on the packaging or advertising that it does not allow for online MP forcing you to upgrade to the extremel...
What are you 5? Here's an idea instead of tattling like it's elementary school move on to another article instead of leaving a child's comment
No they'll complain about it to no end and then act like Microsoft has NEVER done anything like that before, conveniently ignoring Halo: Spartan Ops for tablets and windows phones, or the Halo 4 double XP brought to you by Doritos and Mt.Dew.
And that is where the Nintendo cult members seem to get their logic twisted...It's not the job of 3rd parties to try and make games that Wii U owners want..It's completely beyond any doubt the job of Nintendo to make their platform appealing to 3rd parties, something they are not doing...They have 0 advertising for the Wii U 0....There was 1 commercial that ran on Raw like the week before it came out, that made NO sense and didn't tell you what a Wii U was. After the system launch...
Because they generally aren't that spectacular....The only game they ever made that sold decently was Metal Gear Rising, and that sold purely because the box said Metal Gear on it....Hence why Nintendo had to pay for Bayonetta 2
You mean like Mass Effect 3 or how about FIFA 13.....Last I checked those are both FULL EA games using your logic, which both actually cost money to port to the Wii U and didn't sell....
You mean like back in 09-10 when Live was down for an entire month starting on Christmas Day and all they game people was Undertow free for 30 days and If you already owned it you just got the finger....
Or how about the hundreds of people who had hundreds of dollars stolen from them and used for FIFA, which went of for almost a year, while MS did nothing EXCEPT for of course BLAME THEIR CUSTOMERS, even though in the end it was completely the fault of MS since they ingeniousl...
And your point is? I would rather rent Saints Row the third, Sleping Dogs, Battlefield 3 than get to keep Halo 3, Tower defense, Assassins Creed 2 LULZ....On top of the FACT that MS is dumping the games for gold service lol in November of this year then it's back to NOTHING for anyone
The discounts can be amazing also....Max Payne 3 was just on sale for $7.99....I bought Alice: Madness returns for $5.00...Tomb Raider was on sale a couple of times for $20-$25 when the games was still $60.....Thanks to the sales and IGC I have practically maxed out the 1tb HDD I just put in my PS3 like 2 months ago
You honestly believe they remake them HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...Copy and paste of duty doesn't remake anything, why do you think there are still assets from MW1, MW2, Blops and MW3 in current COD games
There is no problem with a developer who spends the extra 5 months while the game is being certified working on DLC to support the game...
What some morons don't seem to grasp is that the game doesn't magically get certified and printed overnight...It takes 5 months give or take to certify a retail title, once it comes back NO you cannot just add or remove content without having to send it back to be re-certified....HENCE why it goes from certification right back out ...
Next time you should probably actually read the article first so you actually know what the game is first....Shouldn't you be busy eating Droitos and Drinking Mt.Dew to get some Halo 4 double XP
Yeah cause MS totally didn't do that first with Halo Spartan Ops for tablets...Or free 360 IF you buy a computer or Sign up for Time Warner cable....
Or should we mention the 360 Extreme ghetto edition....Play your games before you feed your kids by purchasing this wonderful 360 for just $99 dollars and a 2 year contract that costs more than IF you just bought a system
Yeah cause MS is sooo much different with the Halo Spartan Ops tablet game game....Or DOUBLE XP HALO $ STARRING DORRITOS AND MT.DEW...I'm sorry please try harder to troll...Or giving away consoles IF you sign up for Time warner cable or purchase a dell computer..Yep No selling out there, only Sony is doing that apparently
Yes basically it is a MS site they donated like $750,000 to a documentary that Polygon wanted to make about how their company came to be...Ever since then they love to fondle MS
Ummm yes it is staying the same price UNTIL 2014 when all the services are running...Hence why they stated IF you pay in advance your locked at that price till its time to renew....
It is NOT staying $60 a year...The exact DAY all of the services are running It will be going up to ATLEAST $100 per year, AT LEAST...Your mentally retarded IF you think they are going to give you all of those old services and new services for the same price, while covering ever gamertag on that c...
And that is exactly what the cost of live per year will be going up to...The ONLY reason it's starting at $60 is because half the services wont be running till 2014. THE DAY all the services are running it will go up to $100 per year, especially when 1 membership covers all gamertags on that console
You do realize that IF all profiles on the console are covered by 1 gold subscription that the minute all the services are up and running IT IS GOING UP TO AT LEAST $100 a year + the extra $10 a month IF you want to use their Doritos and Mt.Dew Tv guide....They are NOT going to lose money on charging for each gold membership....This is the same company CONFIRMED to require you to purchase an adapter to use your 360 headsets...And wants $25 for a rechargeable battery...Meaning an extra complet...
Except you don't need a proprietary hdd to upgrade the system and unlike MS you can get a 1tb HDD for less than the cost of MS $150 250gb.I recently upgraded my PS3 HDD and got a 1tb Seagate from Best Buy for $70..You can get 500gb for less than $50.
Yet Micro$haft is still there trying to steal pennies from people charging $150 for a 250gb HDD
