Because to my knowledge the hard drives aren't hotswappable. Even if they were hotswappable, this way you could take say a character or small save file like that and be able to load more than one at a time (since if you had your save on your drive and your friend had his save on his, I don't know if you could load them both at the same time).

But yeah, seems a little redundant that they even are using memory cards. Would've been much nicer if they would've just included a CF/SD slot.

The memory cards are for those who don't want the hard drive. They save on the cards instead of the drive.

Why would anyone get the core system?

 

[vi edit]

They did the same thing when the PSP's were released.

$500 bundles of their most marked up accessories and some crappy games.

WTF? I just want the system and Madden.

that's not gonna happen

It can if you go B&M. B&M stores usually do not do these crazy bundles. IF they do a bundle, you can choose your games. These online pre orders wouldn't be so bad except they are forcing you to buy games. We are all gonna buy a couple games when it comes out. The ability to choose is whats important and thats why you go B&M. Online sites should let you choose but for some reason, they aren't. It's bad business.

Is it really even worth buying systems these days? Everytime I buy a system I barely use it since most of the stuff comes to PC anyways (sans a few games like Zelda).

the game prices are 59.99 at ebgames.
