was recently informed that the "advanced"package includes gold xbl service.
This is incorrect, it does NOT include the gold service, only the silver service. Gold will cost the same as the current XBL service does. Read around a bit more next time.
Well it includes a 1 month Gold trial. I guess that's what he meant or he just read it wrong.
Carlo I think you miss the point! I think you need to revaluate your idea. What I see is big busineess making an artificial supply and demand curve and exposing it. From my experience and I'm work in the chip/software making industry it is very common practise to charge you dollars to our pennies! Hence the fact this is why the last console I owned not moded was SNES, and then after that I had a chipped PS1, and now I have a moded XB. I'm not a fan of any one cooperation specially M$ or the jap mono Sony! However, when I look to a system I look at its functionality. What can it do for, or what can I do to get it to do more for me. Flooding the market place with a artificial supple and demand curve I think is rather cheap! That is why I use open source. that is one of the biggest reasons people come to this forum. Although it is implied rather then explixit you have to dig deep to get it. With todays technology you think people would get it that it is faster easier better ways to develop silicin, and manufactor top notch games/software it would be affordable for anyone but if here is the catch if they did that they couldn't charge you an arm or a leg for it. Same idea as some of the Eletrical Engineer peers I used to have that used to develop the traffic devices that allowed you to turn red lights to green. He used to make them for $20 bucks and charge $500 for them on net back in 01-03 he paid for 3 terms of his college that way not to mention other toys he had.

Put up with it if you know you need to. Think about it this way, it's either no Xbox360 and 5 years without next gen gaming or spending the extra 10 bucks here and there.
They also have to count inflation!
Though I still think $50 for a wireless controller is pricy, when I could get a wave bird for $40, a few years ago...
Oh well, it should have ok games, and even if those suck, once its modded I shall have one bitchen computer!

what pisses me off on the face plates is 1) the price, but 2) the fact that the carbon fiber "looking" one is just painted on, that is gay (i really wanted it b4 i knew that to).

Where exactly did you see that... because that's definitely NOT correct. It comes with a Standard Composite/RCA av cable. :huh:
i have $150 down on the $400 dollar pack it come with everythng you need to start.. HDD, wireless controller, media remote, HDTV cable and etc....
strangly it dosent come with a charge and play pack which really confuses me
I''ve already purchased the paly and charge kit. As I think more about it, it seems that the controller may be plugged in more often than not. If you haven't bought it yet, forget the play and charge kit and opt for lithium AA batteries.
i still find this funny considering that ms doesn't even mention the 150.00 price tag for the xbox preim set in japan man do we us gamers get ripped off by ms sometimes
Does this mean that you cannot plug a TOS (optical) audio cable to the Core version?
From the FAQ section

What A/V cables are included with the Xbox360?
The Premium Xbox360 package comes with a single A/V adapter that includes both composite and component output, as well as stereo RCA output. It also has a socket in the connector for a digital toslink audio output for surround sound. There is a switch on the dongle to select component or composite.
The Core Xbox360 package comes with a standard composite A/V adapter with stereo RCA outputs for audio and does not include an optical output for surround sound.
This can't be right?

To use optical sound, you will need the hi-def A/V cable. The standard RCA type cable in the core system does not have optical output.

You're wrong about the 'media remote', right?
How much is the Elite 360 suppose to be?
