Microsoft cuts Xbox 360 prices

Wait, hold on! Don't buy an Xbox 360 today! Phew, that was close. Did I get you in time? I just wanted to make sure you knew the Xbox 360 gets $50 cheaper tomorrow.

The one with the big hard drive (which is black and also comes with its own HDMI cable) is now $400, the one with the small hard drive is $300, and the one with no hard drive (a.k.a. the "retard pack," because you're just going to have to buy an overpriced hard drive anyway, you retard) is $200. Actually, the retard pack was $280, so it got a price cut by $80. But it's still not enough to buy a hard drive, so don't think you're going to get a functional Xbox 360 for less than $300.

You're on the right track, Microsoft! Now how about lifting that silly monthly fee for Xbox Live?

Can it really be used in a complimentary manner?

Yeah, Beau, what you said would suggest that you address mentally handicapped persons using the term "Retard." For instance, "Straighten you damn helmet, you retard." That makes you a bad person; slap on the cuffs.

Heh. No, what a retard is is not a person who is mentally impaired, but a person with perfectly healthy mental faculties who does amazingly stupid things. Such as the retards who buy 360s without hard drives. :D

Well, if you go to ebay, you can get a 20g hard drive for the 360 for $20 to $40. So basically, you can still pay less than the Wii for a more powerful machine, just use that extra $10 to get a nice cooling fan to keep your box from getting RROD. LMAO!
