To compete with the PS3’s built-in hard drive, M$ has apparently cut support for the 360 Core System, and is forcing CS owners to buy the hard drive. Wtfux?

Well well…it seems that Microsoft is taking a play right out of their ‘Windows Playbook’ and telling you that if you want to continue to recive support on their product that you must upgrade…but you’ll have to pay $100 just for the drive and you will not get the other features that go along with the premium system (ex: lifetime subscription to XBOX LIVE)…I enjoyed the quote from Peter Moore
“While some people may criticize us for this, 1 year from
now everybody will be thanking us for improving their
gaming experience. The Xbox 360 hard drive will empower
gamers to reach a higher plataeu, both in the gaming
world, as well as in the real world. The future is nigh, and
we are the ones to deliver it. While adoption may be slow,
this minor crisis will not be the end of us. It is but one last
hurdle before the Journey and salvation!”
This is really just over the top…but to say that you didn’t ever expect something like this from Microsoft would be insane…the company has never felt that they needed to stand behind any of their products and feel that whatever they want you to do you will do without question…Welcome to CrzyLand
