Well if they dropped cheaper version of the price they made have dropped the other version but even it they dropped it i'm sure its gonna be well over 500 which ridiculous considering Wii is half that much, and 360 is much cheaper as well.
They wont drop it.
Oh and Lord your forgetting that if you want HDMI support, which is true HD, you have to pay for the cables also?
Dude, I dont know where you got your info but the XBOX 360 is $399 US. not $499 US.
So thats an $200 dollar difference for a machine that produces a tad bit better graphics. I dont know features will be included, but if your buying it to get NBA 07...man, try the XBOX.

600 is pricey but considering the faetures, Ill take it. Wasnt the 360 like 500? So 100 extra for way more features is fine by me.BOT:
I predict the Lakers will be the 3 seed in the west, thats right, beating out the Suns to win the division. Kings have no chance in this division BTW.
May I just ask how in the hell they are they going to do that? I mean it's not like they outright improved through free agency unless you count Maurice Evans an improvement. Stupid prediction really.
The Sun's ran away with the division last year and now they have a top five player coming back from injury. The Suns could very well win 60 or more games this year. Both the Kings and especially the Lakers have no shot at the division. Both teams will be at best be a 4th or 5th seed and at worst 8th or out of the playoffs.

How you just gonna call my prediction stupid? Cant see how you can call a preason prediction stupid, especially when its involving the Lakers.
Lets not forget the Lakers have the best coach in the league, and Kobe Bryant. And they only improved over the offseason.
Plus we dont know exactly where Amare stands, will he be the player he was 2 seasons ago?
Lakers win the Pacific

Because it is stupid prediction. If I said the Kings would win the Pacific, it would be a stupid prediction. Nobody is going to get past Phoenix, plain and simple.
They had Kobe and Phil last year and where did that get them? Oh yeah, 9 games behind Phoenix who were without Amare bare 2 games.
How have the Lakers improved?
So? Even if Amare isn't what he was 2 years ago, he'll still be a better PF/C than 95% of the league. He will only improve their defense, rebounding, and he will make them pretty much imposable to guard offensively. if he does come back like he did two years ago, Phoenix might be the first team in a while to win the O'brien trophy strictly on offense.
Even if Amare gets injured again, the Suns didn't too bad without him last year, did they?
So again, Suns will win division, Lakers, Kings, Clippers battle for 4-8 spots. Case closed.

Its not a stupid prediction. You act like the Suns are a great team, and are destined to win the championship. Thats not the case, they arent a great team, they wont win a championship unless they improve their defense and its not stupid to say they arent going to win the pacific.
So again Lakers will win the division

LOL ok Miss Cleo
im not gonna call any prediction stupid, because who knows anything can happen, but i think the suns will be the pacific division title holders as long as their nucleus stays. i agree that with the addition of amare, which they had for only 2 games last season, will only help them from last year. nobody's saying they arent destined to win a championship, but that doesnt necessarily mean they arent a great team. they are an excellent team, even without much defense, because they are that good on offense.
but i respect your prediction, because the lakers are your team, and fans have high hopes for their teams (except knicks fans)

So a team that got to the WCF and gave Dallas a run for their money without arguably their best player and one of their big men in Kurt Thomas is now considered "not great". Um what the hell have the Lakers done that makes them great? They barely made the playoffs for christ sake. Oh wait, I know "KOBE BRYANT, OMGOMGMONG HES DA GREATEST PLAYA EVA!"
Yes, and their defense will be improved. They're getting back Amare who is a great shotblocker and can guard smaller players because of his speed. They're getting back Thomas who is an excellent post-up defender. And they still have Bell and Matrix who are excellent perimeter defenders. Nash is the only weakness, defensively, on the Suns. They're not going to be a great defensive team, but they will be good to very good and I would venture to say they will be better than the Lakers.
We're not going to see the Phoenix from last year where, because of injury, they had to play all perimeter players. That team actually wasn't terrible defensively. They could be pretty good in spots. There main problem was rebounding which won't be a problem with Thomas and Amare back.
Let's remember that the rule changes made the past few years have benefited offensive teams like Phoenix. That's one of the reasons why we see Steve Nash turn from just a top five point guard to a 2-time defending MVP. You can actually win more on offense now instead of defense. Just look at the Finals matchup. Both Dallas and Miami were more offensive minded than defensive. You also saw defensive minded teams like the Spurs, Pistons, Griz, lose because they were at times inept offensively and their defense couldn't get away with things because of the new rules set in place.
Are you going to counter any my points or are you just going to keep saying "Phoenix isn't good, Lakers win division!!!" without backing it up because you're looking like a huge ignorant homer who can't look at things objectively or make a logical point. How are the Lakers better than the Suns? Because from the way I look at it, they had a much better record than the Lakers without their best player last year. Now they have Amare, Nash, Matrix who are all at the top of their positions. They have Thomas, Bell, Diaw, and Barbossa all who could start, maybe even be the focal point on offense, on a lot of teams. The Lakers, meanwhile, have one of the best players in the game and a bunch of inconsistent players like Odom and Kwame.

Ok see you're just trying to start an argument. Ive never said Phoenix isnt good, but my prediction was and still is Lakers win the disvision.
because you're looking like a huge ignorant homer who can't look at things objectively or make a logical point.
You're the one who is going crazy because I picked the Lakers to win the pacific. And you called my prediction stupid... So im really not the one who cant take things objectively.

Bah, I love Ben Wallace, but I'm not gonna love my Pistons anyless because Ben left.
The question is, how well do you think the Pistons will be without Ben? Its got to be tough to lose Ben, but I think most exaggerate the damage it will do to the team. The Pistons have always been a team effort so its not like Ben carried them. I think it will make things more difficult, but I'm not completely counting them out (especially in the East) as many have.
