Who would only want Netflix on demand? Here's a smackdown of the MS press release:

First of all look at the title bar, yes, they spelled xbox as xbxo, and here's my proof in case they correct it later:



Do you really want to buy a console from the same people who can't even QA a simple web page? Bad QC is in MS' culture. They release stuff saying they'll fix it later, like their OS's. They still haven't been able to completely fix RROD in 3 years!

Second, I see a problem with the marketing:

Xbox 360 Arcade plus a 12-month Xbox LIVE Gold Membership and a Netflix subscription costs $100 less than 12 months of digital cable. Xbox 360 invites everyone into a limitless world where the best games, movies and TV shows can be enjoyed live side-by-side with your personal pictures and music library

If the format war taught us anything, it's the fact that content is always more important than price. They seriously compare digital cable to Netflix VOD?? I have access to Netflix VOD since I have a Netflix account for Blu-rays, and the content in Netflix VOD is HORRIBLE! They advertise 12000 movies/shows, and I bet many people don't care about 11900 of them. Also with Digital cable you can watch the news, superbowl, olympics, us open etc and even in HD in addition to movies and shows.

Why are they even comparing it to Digital Cable, which eradicates any VOD content Netflix offers? They should be comparing it to the $129 PS2 and how much better the Arcade is than that.

OMG a spelling error! Dammit, now I have to go and smash my 360 with a bat when I get home. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. No self respecting person can own a piece of equipment when the company has a typo on their website.

thats hardcore, but understandable. I think i'll join you. ..
After i replace my smartphone with a iPhone. Upgrade my MS wifi router with an Airport. And lastly get an apple tatoo on my small bicep and place an apple sticker on my car.

On a side note im just waiting for the PC in the Apple commercials to kick the shit out of that dude.

Not sure if this was posted (this is the first time I’ve noticed) but the 120 GB hard drive has been dropped to $150 on Amazon and GameStop. Still a bit too much, but better than $180!
