You can pick up an Arcade, an HDMI cable from Monoprice, and a refurb 20GB HDD from MS, and be under $250. Re-buying instruments and stuff will be the kicker, but you may not need the whole bundle depending on what you play and how often.

I agree with you there. They should be used to being screwed and getting gimped crap by now though. This coming from a person that owns all 3 consoles.

Just to be clear, isn't the refurb drive being offered $30 for Arcade owners and $20 for Core owners?

Yes, those are the correct prices. I'm figuring:

$200 console
$30 HD
$5 HDMI cable
Add in some tax and shipping and you're at about $250.

I'll admit that a 20GB drive probably won't last you forever, but you can find deals on the other drives every so often. I've got a 20GB drive on my 2nd 360 and it is primarily used for RB. I've got about 7GB of songs on there (including the export).

Did I miss all the talk and hype about the Motley Crue album that was released? I went a few pages back and didn't see anything. I was stoked to see it up on the marketplace last night. It's one of my favorite albums of all time.

thelwig14 10-17-08 11:42 AM

Depending on the download habits, I would never suggest a 20 gb. After having to go through the sell on craigslist premium to buy an Elite, I would plan for the long run.

I don't download anything (music or videos) except for GH/RB dlc and COD maps and I already would have tapped out a 20 gb.

I don't know how that is possible. I have a hefty chunk of DLC (70+ songs), all of the RB1 content ripped, and a few XBLA games (Bionic Commando, Worms, Symphony of the Night and more) and I have over 6 gigs available.

I'll never need more than the 20 gig drive.

blah blah blah Dr. Feelgood kicked my ass on expert... blah blah blah.

Nevermind, baby!! Weird that Smells isn't on there. I wonder if that's coming soon?

dsa_shea 10-17-08 01:03 PM

Do the instruments from RB on PS2 work on a PS3 as well. I don't know if the PS2 RB instruments use the usb or if they have the regular controller connectors. Thanks!!

Weird that we're not getting the whole album. I guess we'll have another 3 pack to complete the album sometime soon (maybe before the end of the year).

thelwig14 10-17-08 01:05 PM

Still wondering what the strategy will be for the 20 tracks...

chuckd21 10-17-08 01:07 PM

I know none of those songs.

Liver&Onions 10-17-08 01:07 PM

dammit - i'm in for this one.

Whaa? So either you're 40+ or <25

UncleGramps 10-17-08 01:09 PM

With this pack plus In Bloom (RB1) and Drain You (RB2), we're only missing 3 songs from Nevermind. Unfortunately those three tracks are arguably the most well-known, since they were released as singles (Lithium, Come As You Are, and Smells Like Teen Spirit). Still, it's an awesome pack and I'll be buying the whole thing. :rock2:

Imprint 10-17-08 01:10 PM

I'm sure it's just wishful thinking, but maybe Teen Spirit, Lithium, and Come as you Are will be included in the free 20. Pipe dreams...
