I am with the majority.

84.3% went with the Xbox. Even though it hate the Core so much.

The Core is just the system without the hard drive, wireless controller and HD component cables (which cost $40 what a rip off).

You need a memory device to do just about anything on the system so you will have to go out and buy a $100 hdd that would make it cost the same price as the premium. Oh yeah, it comes with a wired controller and not the wireless that that premium comes with.

But in this case, it would bring it up to $240. If you don't care for a wireless controller.

I forgot something. It is now up to $240 if you don't care to replace the wired controller. Sure it is still a lot cheaper but I think the Core system is only there to sell to the soccer mom's who don't know anything and then when the kid opens it and finds out that it is missing vital parts, the mom has to go out and buy expensive things upgrading the system and making it more expensive than the premium.

This is actually a bad deal if you think about it. 1000 units with like millions of attempts at them. Getting one is like winning a contest. And if you win a contest, you want to get the thing for free. You don't want to have to pay a hundred dollars for the prize. I'll pay, but I don't have to like it

I wish amazon.ca had deals like this. Unfortunately amazon.com won't ship electronics to Canada.

Yes, I'd have to agree with that (I still haven't scored a BOC). I'm going to show up for Thanksgiving late (2:00pm my time) for a shot at one. I know I will have wasted my time.

I was hoping for a Thanksgiving miracle. Amazon is a dirty dirty tease.

Nothing loading here.

So basically if you are close to Amazon's servers you have a much better chance?
