DenDen Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 If ya haven't seen it yet... X-box 360 is crashing everywhere. http://www.xbox-scene.com/xbox1data/sep/EEFkZkkkyEHasmrPqu.php Also on our local news tonight, Stores are selling 360 at an astounding $590! Best buy is selling the first 30 @ each store at $299, then raising the price. Similar situations at other retailers like circuit city and compusa. Would you pay $600 for a video game? I never do business with retailers anyway, since they prey on the stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterCrazy Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I'm glad I decided to wait for the Ps3! I can't believe how much money people are trying to get for the Xbox 360! http://cgi.ebay.com/Microsoft-Xbox-360-IN-HAND-Premium-pack-x-box-360_W0QQitemZ8236570602QQcategoryZ62054QQtcZphotoQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrakenKing Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I'm glad I decided to wait for the Ps3! You and Me both... But yeah... my friend got to Bestbuy at 1am... said there were already people waiting to buy the system (Only about 15...) but this is InsaNe! He got his for $299.... if I were to buy one, I would sell it on E-bay, get around $1,000 then when there are plenty of them at around March, buy one then, haha. I could make $650 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bush985 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Best Buy had some bundles around $1,000 for the Core System yesterday! It included 6 games and a few other good things, but really $1000?!?!?. -RD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackskellington101 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I'm glad I'm...well...not really interested in any of them yet. There hasn't been anything really sufficient for me to sway me towards any of the three next gens. I need to see a definite for the software lineup before I can even begin to make a decision. A piece of hardware is only as good as the software it has, the PSP proved that. Looks pretty but not much there. Now, DenDen, I have a question. Did you get that link by directly going to XBox Scene or did you get it from Digg, like I did earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F1shy Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I can't believe XBOX 360's are already sold out. Within the first 24 hours of releasing the box... they're already sold out. Who would've known... In Georgia... where I used to live... my friends have told me that stores have over-sold 360's... so there's a waiting list until February... I'm pretty sure it's a lot worse in other places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 All I have to say about the crashing is ... HA HA , it just goes to show that the first one to come out isn't always the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingScooter Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 If I do get another system, it will be the PS3. These days i pretty much stay with computer games. If i want a bigger screen, I merely patch it to my TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLUSHIE Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Every store in my area had people camp out all night. Our Best Buy had about 100 xboxes and the line was closed off at around 4pm Monday. I waited at Toys R Us from 5pm Monday to 9am Tuesday. I have one and I love it.

SonOfBeastSucks Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I don't really care enough to get another gaming system right now. All this waiting/ overcharging/ etc really sounds fun though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaparri Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Yeah, aside from not playing video games much anymore, I could never bring myself to pay that much for a video game console. Granted, these systems are pretty incredible, but I don't have that kind of money to throw around for something I'm not going to use a lot. Alright, who wants to wager on which company will come out with the first console to have a Starbucks coffee maker in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 yeah, I'm probably not getting a ps3, as my ps2 is VERY dusty right now, and we have 2 xbox's, so we WILL be getting a xbox 360, but not till next year, I'm sure the ps3 will have to come out at 399.99, and microsoft will more than likely drop the price a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I think I will wait for games that I want to play before I decide on my non-nintendo console for the next generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhishyBrewer Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 ^LMAO!!! If I had an issue with the price, I wouldn't of suggested that I'm going to wait for it. At 27, I really hope I have my shit together enough so I don't think of little things of how much a game system cost.

Incinerator Tuesdays Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Dude, I camped out for it at Best Buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCoaster Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 You're lucky you were in Temecula! There were people camped out here in Reno and it was supposed to go down to 22 that night (and I'm sure it was a lot colder elsewhere in the country). I thought it would have been really funny if they had gotten frostbite on their fingers and been unable to play for weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incinerator Tuesdays Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 It got down to 30 degrees down here, we weren't so lucky... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
