I could build a PC for that price...




because you can 'backup' games and play them all region free (import games) and also have emulators (old NES, SNES, etc...) on them, along with media centers and many many many other options. i still don't know if i would go for preinstalled (DIY isn't that hard at all).

yes I know what you can do with it...however I just can't justify $200-$300 extra for the installation of a HD, chip, and software.

I have never soldered before and definitely wouldn't want a brand new X Box to be my test mule...that is why I would order preinstalled.
