[QUOTE=DOG-GY;41242595]to be fair the kinect is a pretty crazy piece of hardware and certainly drives the price up[/QUOTE]
$26 to make

doesn't justify a near 300-400% markup though
[QUOTE=Iago;41238466]Didn't it always been like that? My PS3 does.[/QUOTE]
My PS3 has a three pronged cord

The slims and super slims have the figure of 8 lead. Only the fatties have the kettle lead.

Sony would disagree considering they were initially going to price the PS4 at $500 with the Eye. They pulled it after seeing MS was going to do the same thing. They did this just to undercut them in price early in the console race.

Do you have a source on that?
[QUOTE=Evilan;41243825]Welcome to the free market.[/QUOTE]

i'm just saying things
[QUOTE=legolover122;41243882]Do you have a source on that?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=DOG-GY;41243231]They want to make the kinect a core part of the xbox. This has been really obvious since when the original came out for the 360. If that's not what you're interested then whatever, but it's really silly of you to criticize them just because their hardware choices don't suit you. This is the same thing as complaining that the wii u gamepad is "forced on customers". Cool dont get one.[/QUOTE]
"don't form an opinion as a potential consumer it's their choice"
[QUOTE=DesumThePanda;41238288]so that's what that big black thing that you plug the xbox into was. huh.
edit: [B]ok turbonerds you can stop rating me dumb because i'm not a super computer geek and know about every last bit of technology[/B][/QUOTE]
I think you are now being rated dumb because of this
[QUOTE=zakedodead;41243968]"don't form an opinion as a potential consumer it's their choice"[/QUOTE]
nice strawman but rly if you dont understand that they actually have a really good reason to bundle the kinect with the xbox one then youre just a fuckin idiot that wants to hate microsoft because its cool
[QUOTE=LoneWolf_Recon;41239676]Generally you don't have as much heat being built up in the console's chassis with the built in PSU. Ergo, less chance of thermal damage.[/QUOTE]
There's 0% chance of thermal damage if it's built well and you dust it every once in a while
I bet both companies have learnt from Microsoft's mistakes regarding power last gen. Hell, the console that had heat problems was the one with an [I]external[/I] powerbrick the size of a house.

paraphrasing you without actually changing the meaning of what you said is a strawman?

I don't think the average console user has the know how on taking apart a console and cleaning the PSU.

yes it does, you arent a very good company if you dont make money, its just how it is

not what i said at all

In that case you're extremely bad at formulating yourself then.
Pick one.

+ millions to develop

The PS4 is a feat of engineering. They manage to house the PSU internally, have much better hardware and still manage to keep it smaller than the Xbox One, whilst $100 cheaper.[/QUOTE]
Comparing it to the HD DVD player is a little cheap.
Nobody has ever seen one in person lol
