The new XBox

After looking at this website, the new Xbox, has put people of America in a trap. They can buy the xbox360 without all of the pieces needed for it such as the ear piece, the wireless controller, and any other object to play the game for $299. However, they can buy the "better" deal of spending $399 for all of the pieces of equipment needed to play the games that people want to play. The idea of this is an example of the compliments in economics...the ear piece, and controller are both needed to play the game regardless, they are a need to get the full effect of the game. So family members can either A:spend the extra $100 dollars, and not have to worry about getting the wrong things, and spending more time on it...or they can B:spend less money by buying everything seperately, but worry about getting the wrong pieces, or worry about the pieces being out of stock. Either way it is a trap.
