I wonder how many people are gonna be lined up outside best buy for this one.... Alot less now with the high price. I don't know how many people i know couldn't buy a 360 around Christmas time because the price was too high.

The "core" system doesn't just have a smaller hard drive, it is also missing the MC reader, Built-in Wifi, and it has no HDMI port.

Where did you get this info?

When I heard that Sony said the "core" unit comes with a 20 gig hdd as apposed to the "premium" version that comes with a 60 gig hdd.
I was like, "WTF?" blink.gif
Sony's charging an extra $100 for 40 gigs?
I know the premium version has to offer more than that.

Bad move if you ask me. Total split of the market. Dualshock with no Dualshock. Very smart.

Woaw....
No shock in dualshock is shocking news tongue.gif

Boy Kutaragi poked fun at M$'s decision to go with two SKU's and look at Sony now.
I agree, this a bad decision.
It's worse when you stop and think about why they made this move.
$50 that they went with two SKU's just to keep their promises of last year.
Promosing multiple ethernet ports, several USB ports, Wi-Fi, and HDMI ports.
Which is pretty stupid since they don't even deliver their full promises with the premium version.
They should've just stuck with one option, but oh well.
I guess M$'s success with the X360 in spite of launching in two SKU's changed Sony's mind....

Man, they have this impressive system technology wise, but they go back in time by not having vibration in their controllers.
