But Sony wouldn't charge a high price for official hardware? Right?
I'm sure Sony would sell cheap hard drives and WiFi adapters if the PS3 didn't have them built-in, right?
Here comes the 60GB 360...

You had a slight spelling mistake there. Corrected it for you.
To of "failed" I would have needed to misspell something. Please enlighten me as to what it was. Unless of course you were referring to substituting the "S" in Sony with a "$" sign.
?Who said anything about Sony?
My point is that the prices are extortion.
You can't exactly bash Microsoft for the prices, Sony would do the same and Nintendo probably would too.
It's just how it is.
Nice to see you contributing to another 360 thread in your usual pro MS ways.
I would say the same about anyone charging £54.99 for a WiFi adapter, even Sony as hard as you may find that to believe.

I do.
Well Sony have chosen to put in a standard HDD which is swappable for any HDD you want, Microsoft have done the opposite. As far as the pricing goes, £69 for a HDD and £54 for a wifi adapter deserves to be bashed because they are a total and blatant rip off, especially the 'couple of quid to produce' wifi adapter.
However, like you have already stated, Sony could have done the same and charged a premium for them as add-ons too. But they didn't, so we'll never know what 'could have been' so, there's no point arguing about it
Anyway a good argument needs to be backed up with facts not speculation...It's not about being sensitive.
We see thread after thread with forum contributors wanting a mature place to come and debate and I was suggesting that a good first step to achieve this is not condoning such fan boy immaturity.
On more mature hardware forums, AVSforums for example, the constant use of $ for M$ or $ony would soon see your posting privalages removed.

why is that though ? many people like myself for example don't use M$ as a derogatory term but rather as a shortcut.

Microsoft must know now that the end of the format war means Sony's PS3 is going to start to rise in popularity faster. I don't think Microsoft would put a more expensive HDD in their machine if they didn't think they had to.
On a slightly related note, once the arcade takes it's imminent price drop to become cheaper the wii, their preparations will be ready and expect a biiiig 360 marketing push around the time of GTA4's arrival.

A shortcut to what? It's no shorter than typing MS.

A shortcut to Microsoft, what did you think I meant
.and ?, your point being ?, M$ is still a shortcut, and one which I prefer to use, I have no problem with 'Microsoft' I just prefer to use M$, I really can't fathom why people would take offence, I think the dollar sign suits it, I mean they are a multi-million dollar cooperation, theres nothing wrong in that.

Unless they actually allow you to keep moves you download permenantly, rather than expiring, i can see no reason to ever upgrade the hard drive.
