 : 70 th | | | More 360 Price Cuts?!?!?
If the rumors are true, there are another round of cuts coming. Not just the clearance on the 20GB 360. The arcade will be the first Next-Gen system to hit the fabled $199 mark.  Quote: |

We should also expect hardware and game bundles for all hardware versions coming in the fourth quarter, just in time for the holidays.
In addition, the mole revealed that the upcoming release of Forza 2 Platinum Hits will include all the DLC tracks that were made for the title, which is a good way to add value to the game.

: 78 th | | | $299 is perfect. In fact, they'd be served even better to partner with a developer or a retailer and throw in a few free games. that would probably get me back into Xbox'n |

| | | Yeah I saw this on Engadget this morning, most likely they will come out with bundles though. Holidays are coming up and you know they always do that. |

: 64 th | | | so what does NOT having a hard drive mean in an xbox 360?
can you still save games?
i think that is the only reason we (roommates and I) use a hard drive?
I have downloaded some demos, so obviously you would not be able to do that, but would effect your games in any way?

: 43 rd | | | No it wont affect gameplay any, other than not being able to save. They have memory card type things you can buy and I believe a couple of them come with the arcade version.
