[QUOTE="Ace Gunman, post: 3315358, member: 11874"] If they limit it on the software level for no apparent reason then I agree that that is unjust. However on the hardware level, such as with things like that face time feature I keep seeing advertised, there is really nothing to be done about that. I waited for several years purposely for Microsoft to work out many of the kinks on the 360. Reduce the rate of red-ring failures, cool down and speed up the system ever so slightly internally, expand the HDD size, dropping the price, etc. They did all of that. Once my checklist of new features and fixes was complete I finally purchased the system, but I had to wait longingly for that day to come. It was mid - late 2008 I believe. I imagine the early adopters were pretty steamed that they couldn't reap the benefits of a larger HDD, cooler system and so on without buying a new console (or in the case of the hard drive, a replacement). And I paid less than they did too. Now I am in a similar position with the new 360 Slim. Smaller, sleeker, faster, cooler, virtually no red ring failures because of a completely redesigned motherboard, built-in wifi and a huge 250GB HDD. All of this for the same or less than I paid originally, and significantly less than the early adopters paid. I have just always accepted that the earlier the buy, the more you will have to suffer because of it. Again, gotta' love those who do, they suffer and we later buyers reap the benefits, which couldn't be done with out them. That is just how it is, though. I mean nothing sinister when I say this, but should technology be limited just because one group dislikes that the second group gets a processor enhancement that enables them to play more games the original couldn't locking them from those games? If that were the case tech would never move forward. Keep in mind that I say that knowing full well some day I will be in group A, then group B again, then group A once more. When I got my PC it could do many things, now it cannot because software development leans towards newer systems which cuts me out of pretty much everything. [/QUOTE]

, The worst part when buying 360's at GameStop, is that they bolt the heatsinks down.
