Default When a 'free' Xbox 360 isn't free...
So I was given an Xbox 360 that was being thrown out...the owner didn't have a power supply as it had blown out (tried plugging a US version into a UK plug...).

I was all excited that I was getting a free Xbox 360 - because as a true-Blu PS3 guy, I would never go buy one on my own

Anyway - it was at this point I figured out the true cost of owning a damn 360...

The purchase of the power brick (and I do mean brick) was a given - about $30.

But then, I saw there was no hard drive attached. OK - would have to buy a lame Microsoft HD for about $130 for 120GB...

I don't have a wireless adapter handy because my PS3 has it's own...so I'd have to buy that for another $25.

THEN, to play online I have to buy a $50 membership...every year!?!

For all that, I could buy a PS3 Slim. Seriously...why is this console so popular then you have to buy all these add ons?

Needless to say, the damn thing is sitting in the corner, where it will stay.
