To summarize we can surely say that the first version is primarily for the younger ones. no harddrive or even a Xbox Live! Silver-membership. If you really want to be able to utilize the power of the console the more expensive version woulod be the clever choice, since only purchasing a harddrive would eat up the price difference. You won’t be able to play online with your Xbox Live! Silver though so if your short on cash ad need one now you can just buy the cheaper plus a memory card, since you will have to pay for online play anyway.


No digital video outputs and no HD-media support. Wheter the HD-meda support, in the form of HD-DVD, will show up later remains to see. It would be very fitting if it would arrive somehere around the launch of PS3. The console will be launched during “the holiday seasons” which most likely means Thanksgiving.
