Wow... 4 gig Xbox...? What the heck could you do with 4 gigs? Don't games take up like, 1 or 2 gigs each? Or do they do something different now? Even for 200 dollars, that seems like a rip off... They'll never realize it until it's TOO LATE!!!
I want me a Killzone 3... And Soul Cal 4... So cheap....
BTW: I should shoot you where you stand for posting that awful ad. I'll let you off this time...

www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-4GB-Console/dp/B003O6JKLC"Don't make the same mistake I did -- the 4 GB version may seem like a good deal if you don't think you'll need a lot of space, but what they don't tell you is that some features REQUIRE an actual hard drive. You might think that a gig is a gig and it shouldn't make any difference whether it's on a disk or flash memory, but to the Xbox, they are not equivalent. This means that unless you buy a hard drive (and it has to be one of the new 250 GB hard drives because the old ones are not compatible), you get no backwards compatibility with Xbox games, and some 360 games will arbitrarily block you from some features such as playing online or even installing updates or DLC, regardless of how much free space you have available. Basically, you can only use the internal storage (or a flash drive) to store full games, saves, or other media, but it's not the same as having a 4 GB hard drive. I wish someone had told me this before I bought mine; I foolishly assumed that the features would be identical and the only difference would be the amount of space, but now I have to buy a hard drive separately, adding up to more than it would have cost if I'd just bought the 250 GB model in the first place. Caveat emptor, indeed." LULZ

For comparison purposes the PS3 Holiday bundle which includes a 160 Gb PS3 and the games Little Big Planet 2 and Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One was on sale for $200 - the exact same price. So it's like.. why buy the Xbox. lol

So I WASN'T crazy!!! There really are a bunch of people out there with a 4 gig Xbox!!! I was so confused! Yeah, seriously, even if the PS3 were 300 dollars with that bundle, it would be better than that Xbox still.
