That is just rediculous to say the least. No one in there Right Mind would pay that much for a game machine. If they do they need to be shot

This happens every year when the "latest and greatest" gaming systems come out. When the Playstation came out my brother paid about $800 for his because his kids had to have the first one. I bought mine 6 months later for $150. The demand is so damn high for these new gaming systems that people stand in line for hours when they go on same and buy as many of them as they can get their hands on just to resell them for a huge markup. And the funny thing is there are idiots out there that are willing to pay big dollars for them! I should have stood in line at Best Buy last week so I could capitalize on people that have more money than sense...oh well.

Hey Doug I guess I had just missed out on ya at Best Buy in lewisville..I was back in town and my brother was up there waiting. He said you had some pals up there and you had JUST left. If anyone else is looking for a 360, word through the grapevine is that this friday most stores will have the 2nd shipment...so if you're really dying for one hit em up at open on Friday. (My brother got his last tues...and it's amazing.) The games aren't to the capability of the system yet, but you can tell that it will be crazy.

There are 2 models of the 360. The less expensive one does not allow you to play the old games. You can buy a software upgrade that will play the old games though. If you buy the more expensive model, it has the old game software already installed.

$399 for the core, $499 for the premium :tu:

with the hard drive, and other goodies that come with the premium, adds up to more than than the core plus the other stuff

What an idiot. I hope he realizes that the ebay listing fee is based on the listing start price. :rolleyes:

I stopped by to harrass a couple friends that were waiting - sorry I missed you -
I took some pictures
I will get one eventually - just because - but IM not waiting in line in the 40 degree weather for 20 hours and not paying ebay prices
