    Just found this hilarious. XBox 360 just released today. Ebay selling them for $1500+. Wish I would have thought ahead and preordered one just to sell it on Ebay and make a killing.

    I agree, once the Holiday Season is over, they are going to drop the price by about $100, plus, it is brand new, I would not want a brand new console, at least give them a few months to work out all the bugs.

    I am trying to decide whether I should preorder a PS3 so I can sell it on Ebay when they sell out.

    i heard the ps3 is gonna cost alot and the games are supposed to be like 80+. mostly cause of the new blue disk design and cost of reperduction. of course this was on the xbox countdown on g4 last night. but they did a review on both consols and both got very high marks on the future of gamming. but the way these xboxs are selling you might as well. you can make at least 200% profit.

    I spoke to some of my colleagues at Intel and they said that the cell architecture used PS3 is supposed to be way superior to the tricore PowerPC based arch. in 360. But at the current time 360 is really good. I think Microsoft is selling it early because they want to people to exhaust their quota on 360 and then not buy the PS3.

    "MOD" that's the key word! I'm not getting one until it is mod-able! I would never pay $50-$80 per game! I have a modded xbox with about 60 games on a 180gig HD. I payed around $1 per game or less. My latest game, Madden 2006, I got for free from a friend who rented it from BlockBuster last week. Free sure beats $50.

    My buddy just got his today and I ordered one for my niece for Xmas from ebay for $800, cause she had to have one, oh well at least it comes with like 8 games wireless controllers, HD, headphones and stuff!

  21. Bah the Xbox360 is highly over-rated. There were alot of complaints on the first day it came out. It would overheat, crash, not turn on, etc. Mircosoft at it's best. One can argue its better value then an high-end compouter, but still i would rather have a computer.

    Xbox 360 Defects and Crashes Reported; Microsoft Tries to Fix Problems

    Reports about various problems gamers have been experiencing have begun to surface. Everything from game crashes to dysfunctional or dead hard drives have been reported. This has some gamers pretty ticked off, especially after standing overnight in long lines to receive the console.

    Well, gamers, help is on the way. "We have received some isolated reports and calls of consoles not operating as expected. The call rate is well below what you’d expect of a consumer electronics product of this complexity," Molly O’Donnell, Senior Manager fo Global Xbox 360 Public Relations, commented.

    Microsoft has set to redeem themselves by setting up a toll-free line where gamers can call to receive repairs or replacements on their Xbox 360. By calling 1-800-4MY-XBOX, players can have a prepaid shipping box overnighted to them. A fixed or replaced Xbox 360 will arrive five business days after they receive your defective Xbox.

    "The most important thing to note here is that the vast majority of Xbox 360 owners are having an outstanding experience with their new systems," she concluded.

    the 360 is very impressive ive been playing mine a lot latly but the thing thats sad is the games out right now are only using 1 of the 3 cores on the processor so look for things to get much better when the developers wake up.

    Wow! didn't know that! So a game like NBA 2006 is only utilizing 1/3 of its capability, and still it looks that! Insane!
