For a new technology like Blu-ray or DVD burners back then, I can understand each iteration getting better and cheap in a short period of time, but a console that is supposed to last for the next 5-6 yrs, talk about them giving consumers a jib. I'm still peeved getting stuck w/ a 20Gb HDD for my 360 which constantly runs out of room, meaning I need to dish out an addt'l $200 for a bigger hard drive. When Sony axed the 20Gb, I thought great, just one version of system, now it's like 6.

Once Nintendo offers a new DVD-enabled Wii that'll be the complete trifecta. What is it with companies releasing new versions of their hardware right away these days? ugh, another UPC? talk about segmenting the market… Once Nintendo offers a new DVD-enabled Wii that’ll be the complete trifecta.
