@ egon
All SHARED films will be on the servers, but what about personal and pics ? And video you edit with the in-game editor ? Do you remember the Beta ? I do. And not all films were on Bungie’s servers, only the ones you choose to share. And this is only one game. I know I use my olde-style XBox almost exclusively for Halo-2, but the 360 will have many arcade games and other things that will eat up my 360’s memory, and I just think that a larger HDD would make the price tag a little more justifiable. Flat paint and a nice Halo-3 sticker I can do on my own at home for under $15, controller included.

I still want to know what that 7GB of space reserved on the 20GB model really is used for. OS/Game cache my ass.

When I saw that photo I thought “That’s a cool custom paintjob there….”

Then I read a little more and saw the Halo 3 part. What a buzzkill.

The e-bay thing is probably a good idea, but getting a blacklisted xbox would cause me to go postal.

somewhat you are right. I actually have about 6 cans of OD green spray paint in my closet. Maybe I should get into the business of painting consoles and then jacking up the price way over cost.

somewhat:

All saved films in Halo 3 are automatically uploaded onto Bungie’s servers. The saved film feature will take up zero space on your HD.

A $3.99 can of camo paint, and I’ll have my own custom 360 Halo-3, minus the extra pricetag and minimal memory. You’d think they would have put the largest HDD on their Halo-3 model, what with saved games and movies and all that they’re touting for the next insatllement of the Halo franchise.

You can buy Xbox 360 premiums on Ebay for $280 bucks. You don’t even have to look hard, there are countless auctions for low priced systems.

This is good news for people lookin to get a Xbox 360. in my oppinon the premium edition is the best value. The core 360 with no HDD is pointless, and the Elite is nice and worth it if u have the extra $$ to put down.

The Halo 3 edition? what a waste, i wouldnt pay $50 less for that compared to the premium edition, let alone the $50 increase. its damn ugly. like the person in the article posted, it clashes with my enterainmet center. its horrible, i watched the E3 and could only laugh when the silence for this ugly machine was unveiled.

Now this Halo 3 edition probaly will sell mad, you know how anything Halo labled sells. I think Microsoft should sell more of the Simpsons Ediiton 360, that one looks way better. Too bad its limited to prizes and special promotions.

But overall what ever a customer buys is a better price and thats what counts some extra $$ in our pockets.
