Today Sony responded to Microsoft's announcement of an HDMI enabled XBOX 360 with a 120GB HDD. Of course Sony doesn't realize that for $20 less we can get a system with 100GB larger HDD and it comes with a HDMI cable. C'mon Sony, how do you call the PS3 the ultimate HI DEF experience but you don't even include $10 component cables, let alone a HDMI cable.
"We're focused on reaching out to the mass market beyond the hardcore gamer, through things like LittleBigPlanet, through Home, through the network. We view every single PlayStation consumer as an elite consumer. Meaning no one is going to get shortchanged at the end of the day, whether they bought one on day one or just yesterday," Karraker says. "[The Elite 360] just validates the same business model they were decrying back in November. They said that consumers don't need HDMI, now they have HDMI. They said that 20 Gig was enough to host downloadable content and now they are upgrading that, too. To borrow from my friends at Nintendo, it's kind of a 'me too' side."
Why did I even post this? This is why I have owned everything that Microsoft, Nintendo, Sega and many other products that these companies put out except for Sony, their arrogant ass attitudes in this industry is just plain sickening!
I also want to mention to Sony that yes the 20GB model is plenty and Microsoft knows this. But I don't think they planned on the digital distribution of the movies and TV shows that they offer to be as successful as it is. Besides, if you don't want to download the content that they offer, then the 20GB version is all you need.
It is called choices, Microsoft reads the Forums and listens to the community unlike you guys. There are people who were crying for a larger HDD and HDMI, so if they do nothing then Microsoft is criticized but if they do something they get criticized.
