How can I play xbox 1 games on my xbox 360?

Answer: You need the 399.00 premium system.

How can I watch HD Movies and play xbox 1 games on my xbox 360?

Ans: You need the 399.00 premium system and 200.00 for the HD-DVD add-on (total 599.00)

Can I play online?

Yes; for 50.00 extra, but not wirelessly; that will cost you an extra 100.00 (total 699.00 - 749.00)

FuQ Sony and Microsoft!!!!!!!!!!!!

They can keep their ultra expensive systems. Japan gets a break on price for both systems, not the US!

Why isn't anyone demanding they do the same over here?

Can someone explain to me how you get online with the xbox 360 core system? It's either a 100.00 hard drive and 50.00 membership or 40.00 memory card and 50.00 membership.

Can someone explain to me how I can play xbox 1 games on my xbox 360 core system? Nevermind; the answer is an extra 100.00!

Can someone explain to me how I can watch HD movies? Oooooooooh; that's an extra 200.00

The PS2 proved that they didn't need online capability to be king of the heap! All consoles are now online to simply suck more money out of each and everyones pockets with retro titles. That is just genius (getting everyone to pay for the same game; ROFLMAO)

Sony is entering at the right time; alot of people purchased HDTV's and are ready for next gen gaming and movies. The PS2 was a good move at the time (dvd movie playback)

Get used to it; history tends to repeat itself.
Sony will be a success and Nintendo is about to rock the house in the face of more powerful systems; Nintendo held it down with the SNES in the face of Sega and Sony's Ps one; once Sony flossed the 3d capability of the ps one they pulled ahead.
Nintendo has re-grouped, Sega folded and Microsoft took Sega's place.

The 360 might just go down like the dreamcast folks!

xbox 360 = DREAMCAST; As soon as Sony releases their next gen system; the current gen system or those who had a year head start become last gen systems who cannot compete in the long run! How long did the xbox 1 last?

Choice - a 299.00 system with NO HARD DRIVE and No Xbox 1 gameplay!!!! (requires memory unit or hard drive and xbox live gold)
Choice - 299.00 system plus a 200.00 HD-DVD drive brings you to 499.00 and still there is no Hard Drive and no xbox 1 playback capability. Sooooooo.............
Choice - 399.00 pro system (requires wired connection to get online) plus 200.00 HD-DVD drive brings you to 599.00 which leaves you with no wireless capability AND is the price of the STOCK PS3; wireless included and 3x the hard drive memory (60GB)

Choice - 299.00 360 core system = Useless ( you still need the 40.00 proprietary memory card to play online) that's 340.00; 440.00 if you want wireless capability and 540.00 if you want to add a 20 gig hard drive. This is 40.00 more than the PS3 core unit and only 60.00 less than the stock PS3 unit. Add another 200 for HD-DVD and that brings you to 740!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good Point Anthony!!!!!!
The Truth:
Choice - 399.00 360 pro system; + 200.00 (599.00)
Still No HDMI; 3x less HD space and you still are in NEED of a 100.00 choice to play your games wirelessly now bringing the price of the 360 to 699.00

Choice?!?!?!!??!!?!?!?!??!?

Sony is telling the truth; they're trying to; they are giving Sony more credit than they deserve when it comes to real comparisons!!!!!
