Xbox 360 the Elite & MarketPlace scam & Solatario
I have only had my xbox a month now and think it is the best thing since sliced bread. My PC has now got no games installed as I just seem to play on me 360. I am a little bit annoyed that Microsoft have just announced ( well its out in the US ) the release of the 360 elite a HDMI ready badbody with a hardrive six times bigger than the premium pack yes that is 120GB compared to our measly 20GB. Its price is really not that bad either in the US it is $80 more (approx £40.00 English pounds) which probably will translate to the UK as £70 despite the exchange rate working at fourty but as we well know the UK market generally pays more than the rest, we have also been promised that the 120GB will be available to buy in grey (like we car) separately. So with the 20GB currently retailing on the UK shores at seventy quid we can expect this to be about 140 ( I am guessing ) unless they drop the price of the 20GB. The Elite also comes in black gloss with black accessories so all those thumb marks will now be visible. I like to see it as the 360 trying to infiltrate the Playstation. With all being said things are still looking good for the 360 with PS4 consoles still in abundance around the UK ( who cares about Blu Ray ). Also I would like to quickly point out the Marketplace scam I am referring to in my title. Ok its not a scam more of a rip off, which is soley pointed at Guitar Hero who seem to find it value for money to charge us £4.15 for three songs which to be honest would be ok if we didn’t just want one good song and two that where shite. Anyway enough of me moaning still awaiting the release of Forza 2. Like Columbo I would just like to say one more thing I bought Solatario off Arcade for 800MP and now cant see straight don’t bother with it event if it just for your wife to keep her happy why you play Gears.
