Was the fact that it probably didn’t need to be available day one, since most folks getting a 360 on the first day were going to be trying to get a premium bundle anyway. What you had was folks (like me) who got Cores because that was all they had, and were forced to buy the rest of the good stuff separately (high def cables, hard drive, headset, wireless control, remote, etc.)

Also, it made it so games basically have to be programmed under the assumption that the 360 owner does not have a hard drive. Well, technically they were supposed to since MS said that no game would require the hard drive to play, but some devs already said fuck it and more will probably follow suit as time goes on.

Other than that, I do like the fact that everything can be added on later. I know plenty of people who decide to get a Core and a used memory card for $10 or $15 just to be able to play 360 games right away.
