I wonder how many parents thought they we getting a good deal with the 360 arcade and then relize no hardrive or wireless online capabilties without add ons/ which adds more expense. Then their stuck with a $275.00 console that they have upgrade to make the kiddies happy.
Smart move on MS sales dept.

If parents don't know what they're buying when they spend $275 then they obviously shouldnt be spending money. There's plenty of advertising distinguishing between the three 360 SKUs, all one has to do is wonder why there are three versions of the same console to figure it out.

While I agree that they shouldn't be spending the money if they don't know what they are buying, but seriously you have to do a little research if you are not a gamer to figure out the differences between skus.
I mean for a while some XBOXs didn't even have HDMI ports. Then the parents have to decide if the more expensive console is worth it etc, it's pretty complicated for your "average" parent or grand parent.

I have a nephew who is getting a 40 gig ps3 cause its cheaper then the 80 or 60 gig , Even though I told his grandma which model would suit him better. The sales person told her this is a better deal. I feel backward compatability is worth 100 bucks.
I think alot of kids are getting stuck with wii's cause of the price. When they might want a 360 or ps3. Sorry for wii bashing , but my kids got bored unfortunatley quick.

Really, I would actually think the opposite. I mean it is HARD to get a Wii, most parents I know are giving their kids other consoles because they can't find a Wii.

That's were the $275.00 360 hits the mark. Cheap wii is not available , but the 360 is only 25 bucks more . Not realizing the stripped down model they have bought.
Price has definetley hurt the ps3 .
