Microsoft's Xbox price cuts are welcome, but make sure you do the math

September 9, 2008 By Victor Godinez

This week's price cuts on the Xbox 360 console are a smart move by Microsoft. Overdue, but smart.

  I don't agree that you're better of getting the Arcade and a 20-gi hard drive. You're only saving $10 as compared to the Pro model which has wireless controller and a 60-gig hard drive. If you were to buy the arcade and a 20 gig drive because it's cheaper you're obviously stupid and are probably shopping at Gamestop.

  I'm not positive, but I think the arcade comes with a wireless controller now. But yeah for an article helping to "do the math" the conclusion seems irrational.

  I had a 360 with a ton of games for over a year.. I'm glad I sold the soul-less piece of S*** and bought myself a PS3.. Sony is able to give me so much more value for my money.
