I guess I'm the only one who isn't surprised that the 128GB sold out. Do you guys remember that when they made the Xbox 360 originally it launched in the Core and Premium (I had initially written Arcade and Pro here, but my intention was Core and Pro)versions with none and 20gigs HDD respectively? If my memory serves me right, they had higher sales of the 20 gig model rather than the arcade model.
Holding that thought train did anyone else compare this to the Dan Ariely's 'Predictably Irrational' chapter of human choice. Given A, A-, and B, A looks better than B precisely because our minds compare A with A-, over which it's clearly superior and applies that to B as well. Only, here they don't need a B. They've made it work fantastically with just A and A- options.
- evoxed 14y agoIIRC the Arcade came about a year after the original X360. I had one of the originals, chrome disc drive and 10GB HD (maybe that was usable space). ... Okay, looked it up and you're right, except it was the 'Core' model. Arcade was two full years after launch. Difference: Premium cost only $100 more than the Core ($400 vs $300) but came with basically over $200 worth of upgrades incl. HDD, wireless controller, headset, and memory card. You also needed the HDD to play Xbox Live.
- sigkill 14y agoYes, my fault. I actually indeed meant Core and Pro. Totally slipped my mind that Arcade was actually an official edition and had 4GB SSD or something.
