Anyone notice how they fudge numbers?

[Number_01]

In episode 115 Kevin and Alex were talking about the 360 with the HD-DVD being 700 and the same price as the PS3. Actually the price was 600 bucks with the 360 at 400 and the HD-DVD at 200 bucks which was the same price as the Premium PS3 at 600 bucks.

Also

I believe it was in 114 Kevin Rose was talking about how the iPod classic was going up to 120 Gigs, actually the size it is going up to is 160 Gigs. So the 2 models are 80 and 160 and there isn't a 120GB model.

Anyone else notice any other bits I might have missed that needed corrections?

Add in tax and it's closer to $700.

Plus all the other subscriptions, accessories adn components, and that's only if we start the example off by using the lowest end 360.

Man i hate tax, suck crap....i mean meh just hate having to add so much more 0_0

I bought my 360 and HD-DVD used because I like to live dangerously... I think you can get that now for around ~425.

I can't pay attention when they go on tangents. Alex has a talent for getting things wrong. I just turn off my brain at that point.

I remember when back in the day Australia decided to get rid of 1cent, 2cent coins, and made everything end in .00 or.05. They also started making $1 and $2 coins then, I can't even really recall what $1 and $2 bills/notes look like.... jeez, that was only 23 FREAKING years ago !!!!!!


Token - did you see the ausd 2-3 weeks ago? Even with the usd. It's dropped back since.

PS3 has a 500$ 60gb(as long as supplies last since Sony stopped making them) model and a 80GB 600$ model and MS has the 350$ Premium and the 450$ Elite and the core is discontinued.

The HD DVD player is now 180$

You get the feeling that the number Kevin Rose came up with was the one on his receipt the day be bought the XBOX 360.
