To put it lightly, Microsoft's recent announcement of a two tiered
pricing structure for the Xbox 360 hasn't gone down well with the fans. After sifting through the 170+ comments on our
news article when the pricing was announced, the general
feeling is negative. Whilst the top end console is a good value buy, the splitting of the line into non-Hard Drive and
Hard Drive based systems (with an outrageous $100 upgrade price) means developers will have to cater to two markets.
One blogger over at GET THE SUGAR has taken it upon himself to express his
anger through the medium of dance, uh, I mean, blogging.
So, in a fictional universe Microsoft have announced a $150 Xbox 90 which requires additional accessories to do
anything other than plug the console (or empty box) into your TV. Here are the features of the Xbox 90:
-Play games!*
-Watch DVDs**
-Download things!***
-Chat with friends!****
-Learn to tie a variety of knots!
*Requires Xbox 360 game deck
**Requires Xbox 360 game deck or a DVD player
***Requires Xbox 360 game deck or a computer****Requires Xbox 360 game deck or actual friends in the same room as you
Talk about limiting!
