Re: DVD Consortium Charges
Posted By: Louis Wu <halo@bungie.org>Date: 5/22/02 8:30 a.m.

In Response To: DVD Consortium Charges (Narcogen)

: 8GB HDs are $300?

: Woah.

: I must have just imagined the 40GB drive I just bought for $200, then.

: At retail.

: Also... it doesn't make much sense.

: MS leaves out DVD playback because it costs $300. But they keep the HD.

: Then they have a kit that adds DVD playback.

: They charge $30 for this.

: Presumably this also comes with a $300 charge to MS, but they still only
: charge $30 for it.

: Huh?

: I don't get it; there's a missing piece here.

Are you being intentionally obtuse, or did you really miss his point?

The $300 was the COST OF THE XBOX - hard drive, controller, all the packaging. Not the drive by itself.

Now $200 - so the $x levied by the DVD consortium per box is MORE relevant.
