it would have cost me the same price for a 80 gb and the game in the local stores.
from osxgp, www.newegg.com
the game should cost about $20 considering it should be a "greatest hit" title, and the extra 80gb help if you have a lot of music and video in addition to game saves.

a bit of genius on the part of microsoft not to include it because you have warring technologies between bluray and hd dvd, much like the war between vhs and beta technologies back in the 70's-80's.

a better buy then the other systems because it cost 80 dollars more but to get the 120gb hardrive it cost 100dollars more instead of 80.
