Xbox360 Core Model has been discontinued

[jp.]

Yeah, at work we've pretty much taken down all displays for it and we won't be getting anymore. Wish Microsoft would've just not made the thing...

[madhatter256]

So will the price drop for the remaining stock?

[Barc0de]

about time

[jp.]

I haven't heard anything about a future price drop. I just know MS is silently getting rid of the Cores. Which they should've done... like... a week after they announced that model would exist. :nod:

Thats whats happening - far better idea in my opinion

It's a shame, they should have used the chance to allow games to use the HDD for caching data. Damned HDDless models fucked that up.

They do that anyways. Halo 3, Call of Duty 2 (I think), and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

Possbily some more games that I am unaware of.

They actually cache to the HDD to decrease load times? I've never heard of that.

Yeah, it's obvious in Halo 3 because if you select a map it'll load, then you can change to say forge or custom gaema nd it won't have to load again.

Well, I'm glad that's over. I feel that the Core is a cheat for anybody and that it'll clear up the market a bit.

Oh, and The Core has a cack ending.

[PhreQuencYViii]

The replacement for the core is much nicer.

And you've tried this running off just a Memory Card and it's drastically different?
