The bidding wars on ebay was great entertainment for my lunch hour . Most of these were one day auctions with the action happening in the last 2 mins or less. watched one go from 910.00 to 1775.00 in less than 45 seconds. The highest price that I saw went for 1825.00.
Guess i was wrong to luagh at those waiting in line for them.

Join the videogame press, get yours for free :P
Been toying with it for a while, pity the only game MS provided was "Kameo", only so-so.
BTW, I think they supersized the AC transformer so that the console looks smaller :D
All in all, it looks sleek and the fact that you can use it as a media center is certainly a plus.

There sure are alot of guppies out there..
suckers (http://cgi.ebay.com/Xbox-360-email-address-xboxovernight-yahoo-com-for_W0QQitemZ5638411444QQcategoryZ88433QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)
and more suckers (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8235350538#ShippingPayment)
I wonder what happens to these sellers once the fish realize what they bid into.

I did a search for those out of curiosity and chose closest as the option. There was one less than 5 miles from my office with a buy it now option of $1850.00. The guy had even posted that he had just finished standing outside Best Buy here in town to get one of the 35 they were receiving. Talk about inflation and some stupid soccer mom will break down and spend nearly $2k for the d*** thing; for her whiny 12 y/o brat kid. Then she will b**ch about it when it drops to $350 a few months from now. I am hanging on to get mine when the plasma comes rolling in the house. By then all will be good...come on christmas. Till then I guess I have to tough it out with my current Xbox and computer.

Nothing will happen....at least it shouldn't because according to the eBay rules they posted you were only getting a box. I should see if one of my buddies who ordered his online still has his box and post that on there for sale. Hell just to walk away with a couple of dollars would be worth it. LOL!!!!!

I work for a gaming site, http://www.gameplasma.com
We get a lot of free stuff, but consoles is still iffy. Saitek and CH sent me most of their stuff, along with various other companies for headphones and such.

Apparently you guys dont care much for the 360, If you did youd know that
THEIR ARENT ANYMORE!
I preordered mine and still DIDNT GET IT, they have 0! 0! 0! anywhere! if you can find a place tell me! 0!
Freaking, LAME!
They didnt make Enough!!! DAMN YOU MICROSOFTTTTTTTTT
-
opps
-
They will have more in a few weeks. Microsoft is into making money not collectors items.
Give them a little time and the will get more out to the stores.
PS what is that thing supposed to be?
-
Bet ya by Xmas you will be able to walk into just about any store and pick one up.
And even if not. People act like they re never gonna make any more of em.
-
well, if it makes any of you feel better i havent even hooked mine up i've been so busy working
as a best buy employee all i can tell people who want them is to check the store every day a truck comes in (which is 4 days a week, mon tue thurs fri for my store) after 3-4pm to see if they came in.. we dont find out until the morning they're shipped to us if they're coming
you can get one, you just have to be persistant.. or crazy, like those who camped out last night

Shush Spade, XBOX is stupid. Is there a reason they release a new console every few years? It's certainly not to make money when the current system is fine as it is:rolleyes:
Unbelievable, $400 for that crap.
-
How is it any different then paying 1,000+ dollars for a computer every ? 2 years? Nirvana?
Oh yeah and I like online better seems smoother. And I do better with a control then a mouse.
Way I see it is,
Computer- Games Music, Word, Internet, Movies, Other stuff
Console- Games, Internet, Movies
You want just games, you get a console.
Games look better on tvs :)
Games are made for xbox's limits so you dont need to upgrade.
Somegames actually come out better then pc games. example sort of is
bf2 on pc
bf2 modern combat on xbox
i liked xbox version 1000 times better.

Never understood why pc gamers want console games, kinda redundant overkill.

I agree....

First person shooters do not belong on consoles...period.
I'm old school...consoles should be games and games only. If I want to watch a movie, I'll use the DVD player that I purchased specifically for that task.

Have you seen the specs on that thing? I don't care to own a console, but it's hardly crap.

LMAO, they already have major bugs in the system. PS3 will pummel it anyway. Gran Turismo is King of ALL CONSOLE GAMES.

This was deliberate. Microsoft planned on having the units sold out.

EA TW 2005 on the PC is great fun .. just beat John Daily :)

I need my mouse and keyboard to play FPS games. Controllers dont work for me for those games.
When MS or Sony makes a console that you can use with a wireless mouse/keyb for all the games then ill buy one.
