1: media capability's are poor
2: dvd plaback is worse than a PS2
3: game will require 4 disks this year
4: no blu-ray.
5: $50 more and u have a blu-ray
6: $50 and you yourself can upgrade the HDD to a 500GB in the future.
7: $50 more and you have xbox live gold, or a PS3
so all-in all it's a pretty bad deal vs the competition.
and unlike others i am not an anonymous coward! so if you feel like i am a troll, just think what of what u are first ;)
