    All of the retailers around here (locally) I've asked claim that the 4GB is only available bundled with kinect.

    I was surprised, because I was sure you could get it without it.

    This.

    There may be a few places on the mainland but it's still mostly bigbox here too. Unless you can haggle with a manager you're screwed.

    I live about 20km's away from a city of around 80k (give or take).
    Stores here compete against one another any time of the year with prices and deals.
    You can ask anybody in a store for a deal, and they'll go off an confer with the store manager about it....or sometimes they don't even have to do that.
    Nobody would get fired for doing price deals here.......as long as they follow whatever store guidelines are applicable.

    There's no noticeable difference between 1080p and 720p on televisions smaller than 40 inches. True story.

    well then I guess I could go for 720p. If it's cheaper I'm happy!

    I think that's a bit of a gross generalisation.
    It really depends on factors.......like the source, the quality of the tv, the type of tv, if the person has perfect eyesight.

    It's a topic people debate about all the time.....but specifics must be involved.
