Sony reminds users they need a $100 hard drive add-on to access the video, according to GameSpot. "We would never segregate or shut out any of our consumers from our entertainment experience because they didn't buy the top of the line system," says a Sony spokesman.
I guess the extra memory slots and wi-fi capabilities that are on $600 version but not the $500 version are not part of their "entertainment experience".
I do feel though it was a bad idea for MS to sell 360's without a HD. It really does cripple the machine.
Depending on the quality of video, that's a hell of a long download everytime you want to watch one of your items. -- The hills are alive with the sound of jehu.

Built in Wi-Fi is not included. You can still upgrade the system later with an add-on unit. That doesn't stop you from connecting via network cable. Also considering the hard drive is available I can see why they cut out the memory card readers (which you can also upgrade to later).
