Multiple Console SKUs - Are We Getting Screwed?

Adam from Awesome Games writes: 'At first, the idea of choosing a particular model which suited your needs seemed like a welcomed and sensible practice. Unfortunately, as this current console cycle has progressed, this relatively new practice has quickly transformed into a shameful, money making scheme which harms the consumer and punishes the early adopters (and sometimes, even the late adopters).'

With the X360, you sure are/was....but them again, you get what you pay for.

As for Sony...
People asking for more, SHOULD pay more. Sony made us pay for a PSOne+PS2+PS3+BD player/media hud in the beggining, and they made it CHEAP (600USD cheap...for all that, it sure was.)

BUt Sony had to make the PS3 cheaper, more affordable, and the culling happend....the same people complaining about the price are the ones complaining about the features being gone...why didnt you forked the 499 or 599 USD WHEN THEY WERE FREAKING THERE?

So stop whining about that....

Yeah, don't exactly what you're getting, with the 360 Arcade SKU and you are going to need to get a HDD. You'll also likely be going back to the store after just going. Certainly a day or two later.

Be an idiot and buy a PS3, you'll likely figure out the browser, find Crackle and Youtube, but by the time you realize that its BR player does moves, you'll likely have bought another player.

Boy, are you dumb... :p

No gamer should be supportive of the HD-less 360 version because it has restricted games' potential to some extent as devs often design to the lowest common denominator and are only now providing advantages to HD capable machines.

The people that care about sales more than games will defend the Arcade and probably say it hasn't affected game quality.

Both Sony and MS play the multiple SKU card and then say its all about giving consumers a choice. To me there is nothing wrong with having choice as long as you dont get royally screwed on the cost of upgrading.

Remembering Medal Of Honor: The Forgotten Master Of WW2 Games

Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."

They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.

Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid

I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.
