Another $100 to eliminate the memory card and add backwards compatablity?
So, it's going to cost almost $500 just to get started with Microsoft? Unbe-fucking-lieveable.
If this is the case, I hope Sony stomps the ever loving dog shit out these assholes.

Well hold on. I agree that $300 is not the low end of the consumer market, unless you count PC's. $300 vs $1,000 might just make sense. That $300 wouldn't cover some of the video cards out today.
And I don't mind paying extra for backwards compatibility. Seems to me what they're saying is "Hey! All you guys that already have first gen xboxes - you can get the upgrade for $100 cheaper - you don't NEED backwards compatibility because you already have the xbox."
