Also in that article from gamespot, a list of the accessorites that will be available for the XBox 360. They give you the price in US Dollars, British pounds, and austrailian dollars. In my opinion some of the prices are a bit on the expensive side. Some of it is a little reasonable.
• Faceplate ($19.99, 19.99 Euros, 14.99 GBP)
• Hard Drive (20 GB) ($99.99, 99.99 Euros, 69.99 GBP)
• Memory Unit (64 MB) ($39.99, 34.99 Euros, 22.99 GBP)
• Wireless Networking Adapter ($99.99, 79.99 Euros, 59.99 GBP)
• Wireless Controller ($49.99, 44.99 Euros, 32.99 GBP)
• Play and Charge Kit ($19.99, 19.99 Euros, 14.99 GBP)
• Rechargeable Battery Pack ($11.99, 14.99 Euros, 9.99 GBP)
• Controller ($39.99, 34.99 Euros, 24.99 GBP)
• Headset ($19.99, 19.99 Euros, 14.99 GBP)
• Universal Media Remote ($29.99, 29.99 Euros, 19.99 GBP)
• Component HD AV Cable ($39.99, 29.99 Euros, 19.99 GBP)
• S-Video AV Cable (US) ($29.99)
• SCART AV Cable (Europe) (24.99 Euros, 17.99 GBP)
• VGA HD AV Cable ($39.99, 29.99 Euros, 19.99 GBP)
Look at the price for a regular controller. $39.99??? Are you kidding? Thats ridiculous. Its gotta be a gigantic controller or something. No, its just the regular controller for the XBox360. If it was for a wireless one it may be worth it but no. $40 for a normal wired controller? A bit too much. What are regular xbox controllers now? $20 or something? $25? I know i havent seen any controllers for 40.
Oh wait speaking of ridiculous controller prices look what they want for a wireless controller. $49.99!!!! Is this a stupid joke? If I remember right I got 2 wireless PS2 controllers for $20. Yes, I got a package of 2 wireless PS2 controllers for 20. Not some third party ones either. First party and they work fine. Thats a big joke right there though. $50 for one wireless controller? Sure no wires it wont get caught or tangled with your other controllers. Hmm I have an xbox 360 and $50 dollars. Do I want to buy a wireless controller so I can play 2 player games? Or should I spend my $50 on a new game? I'll take the game.
$40 for a regular controller is ridiculous
$50 for a wireless controller is also very ridiculous
More reasons that I will wait to buy an xbox 360. Yes, I want one but the only game I really want as of now is Perfect Dark Zero. So I can wait for the price to go down. I'll probably get that deluxe one for $400 but by the time that comes the system will cost $200. Then I can buy some games. And hopefully prices of games go down. $60 AND $70 for next gen games is too much. $50 is bad enough for current games. If I can wait for the price of the system to go down, I can and will definitely wait for the price of the games to go down.
Oh, thats also one reason I buy lots of preowned games. Cheaper and more easily affordable. Theres lots of new games I want that are still $50. Preowned they are $45. In a few months they'll probably be $30 then $20 and less and then I'll get them.
