Another act of desperation by MS.
Just thought I would let you know: http://www.homemediamagazine.com/ it is near the bottom of the page.

more like them being competitive. but however you wanna slice it

blitz6speed · 12-06-2007, 11:20 PM

Toys R Us put the 360 addon on CLEARANCE. Not price drop. The 20 gig hard drive is also 49 bux in addition to the addon price (clearance for both) on december 3rd.

I still don't understand why this thing is any more than 99.99

seriously...they aren't being competitive or desperate...more like ...just greedy..

even at 129.99....if they want to sell these things, bring them lower than 100 bucks..

xtop · 12-06-2007, 11:27 PM

same reason ipod's cost so much. cause people pay it

I know plenty with an iPod...

but a 360 add-on...I know none...

redlikefire02 · 12-07-2007, 05:51 PM

ill take it when its 19.99 or less

dialog_gvf · 12-07-2007, 05:57 PM

They've sold 250K - 300K add-ons (which means 160K - 210K in 2007).

So, 300K (add-ons)/9100 (Xbox 360) = 3% attachment rate.

And some were predicting 20%-30%.

I would buy that add on thing if it wasn't something to do with HD DUD.

Amen!

Edit: and the movies need to have the same ratio: $10 for Heroes Season 1, and $2 per movie. Then I'll spend money on them.

Anyway you slice it you are still buying a soon-to-be $130 paperweight!!! So what is the gain from this price drop.....130 flushed down the toilet.

tru2blu707 · 12-07-2007, 08:30 PM

wow thats not a bad price....for a door stop

JTK · 12-07-2007, 08:31 PM

It's just unreal.

They firesale standalone players that are arguably better for $98 but this thing is still this expensive?

If they want to see something happen with it, get it down to about $69.99 and then at least it would make some kind of rational sense from a pricing standpoint.

the A2 makes this obsolete...

but then again...the add-on is a much smaller and easy to carry doorstop...

even the HD DVD guys dont like this unit. It has a high error rate, and artifacting issues.
