Was going through the papers today to see the starhub promotion on the Xbox 360, it was pretty ridiculous if you should tell me. The reason being that the Xbox 360 comes in 2 flavours. The CORE system and the PREMIUM sets. So what’s all the hoo haa with the Xbox 360 that Starhub is offering.
1st of all I have to freaking top-up $299 for
- Xbox 360™ Core System
- Kameo: Elements of Power
- 64MB Memory unit
- 12-month Xbox Live Gold subscription
- 10% OFF MaxOnline monthly subscription
What’s so great about that? $299, FYI dudes a new CORE system cost SG$535 and I do not need your Game, Memory Unit or your 12 months subscription! Why can’t you guys get it right?
Here is what I guess we want to see. The XBOX 360 Premium/Pro system. It costs $660 SGD and it’s less then what you guys throw in all the games and memory card. This sucks, and Xbox promos run for a long time. I think it’s about time I reviewed my house Broadband policy and think about doing a switch. With all the buggers getting onto MaxOnline it’s starting to look like MaxOffline.
- Console
- Hard Drive
- Wireless Controller
- Xbox Live Headset
- Component HD AV Cable
- Ethernet Cable
HD AV cable! That’s important also, argh it kinna stinks but what’s the point. Anyway I feel it’s about time that broadband prices get reviewed, it’s reaching critical mass in Singapore and more and more are getting on the bandwagon. I do not get the speeds I use to get, in fact it’s getting slower and I wonder if one day I’ll be back on 56KBps and not feel a difference, BUT I’m still paying the same prices, wats up with that?
Think I’ll wait out for the PS3, does not pay to be an early adopter anyway end of the day no matter how fancy your system looks it’s just a system. Not like it’s gonna win you an award or anything.
