"£300 please, ah you want to play DVD's sir, that an extra £30"

I think that it's damn right dirty of a games manufactures to charge more money for the buyer to use features or games on there console.

Of course he is kidding.

Nope - according to the official Xbox site, an 8Mb memory card has a retail price of £49.99.

Okay, you don't *need* one for Xbox, but it still takes the mick.

Yes, but the X-box also comes with a broadband adapter.

Now, I may be wrong here, but dont more people watch DVDs than people that have broadband?

But i suppose near enough Everyone already has a DVD player of somesort in the home so it dont really matter...

Wookie, you are kidding right?

That's okay - Microsoft will charge you £50 for the same!

I think you've missed the point, somewhat. Rather than put the price up, Microsoft decided that only people who wanted to pay for the luxury of DVDs should do so. Many people already have DVD players and PS2s, so if you don't want to use it to watch DVDs, you don't have to pay for it.

Damn Dirt Sony for charging me £25 for a MEMORY CARD!

Charging me for something that I actually need, gits!

Just a point about the DVD Kit.

You fo get a remote with it, so it aint actually that bad. The official Sony Remote costs around the same dont it?

The one at our local Comet has crashed too....
