LOL Thats just cruel......
Honestly, I don't care if I get one now, and I decided not to pay the 700+ I offered yesterday, becuase taking a look at ebay is showing me the cores at 500-600, and some freak incidents of 1000+. I think I will just have my mom pick one up from the store shelf for my birthday January 30th, and in the meantime I will mooch off my 3 friends I waited with.
I'm gonna wait, its just rediculous to spend theat much over the actual cost to be one of the first on with it. I was online as a beta tester when there where less than 1000 people on live (that was cool, no chumps on yet) , its overrated, just wait. I paid something like $500 for the original when it came out, and then wasted I dont know how many countless hours of sleep on live trying just to stay alive longer then one minute in Ghost Recon.
ill be happy with just getting a regular xbox
for halo 2
but i dunno if i should buy one
or get something for my car "real" car
That's what I bought with christmas money last year... An xbox and halo 2. I play every now and then. That and my PS2 are more than enough. When PS3 comes out I will try to get 2. If I get 2 I will probably sell one to break even and keep one. If I get one I will sell it in a heartbeat.
Pretty much yeah.. lol. I beat all of Call of Duty 2 on the normal setting and then played PGR on live for a bit before I went back to Call of duty playing on the hardest setting.
Good god!! I downloaded the NBA 06 demo off the live marketplace. I suck at sports games and don't like them much but man Crazy detail. from sweat to croud reactions and movement. its crazy realistic. lol.. even the announcers are very realistic sounding. haha.. I kept pushing the wrong button and the announcers started laughing at me saying, "looks like button mashing on the dunk button." "Wrong button there hahaha!!" too bad I just suck at the game. by the fiirst half I was down 26 points and an anouncers were just tearing me up! lol.
I also downloaded the demo of NFS Most wanted. the racing portion sucks compared to PGR3 imo but the real fun was running from the cops!! man I dunno I may have to pick up NFS too.
what are people still willing to pay for a 360????i know someone who will sell thiers
Best bet would be Ebay that mutha!!!! I looked on there lastnight and 800-1000 dollars wasnt uncommon for one!
The 360 is like crack! PGR3 is the shiznit. I can't get off that game!
I'm ranked 11th in the world with the S281E on the test track
.
I just picked up NFS and COD2 today. Hopefully I'll have something to play them on soon !!!
Bottled Beast, core system or premium ?
I was ranked 8th on the test track in the shelby gt500 but i'm sure by now I'm moved way up.. hehe.. I'm still ranked 1st on several of the tracks in time challenge mode too. luckily many people don't run the timed run mode. I also have all the Ferrari's you can get stashed in the desert digs garage. Playing career mode against people on live is fun as hell too. yeah I just can't stop playing PGR3. Must buy all the cars and get all the garages to park them in!
my live tag is the same.. PewterCamaro I transfered my old one onto the 360.
hehe I have a couple wired 360 controllers (they are USB) and found out today microsoft has drivers to use 360 controllers on a PC. I was playing the original doom on my laptop with the 360 controller! prett cool.
premium i believe but im not sure

I worked at best buy. It was okay for about 2 weeks. Then it was the worst job every. Lazy full timer and managers that demanded more of you so that they could work less and get a raise. It was bad...
As for the discount... you only get it on high markup items. If you look at your dicount on a $300 system you save about $3.00 or something. It isn't anything... check out cables. That is where your discount will really shine. I got a 30 foot cat5e cable for $1.37. It was regularly like $20 or something. I would get $5.00 connectors for a quarter or something... still not worh the crap you take working there though...

That's the way the world works, I'd just get used to it. Sure you don't have to like it but your not going to change it, so you may as well accept it. Play the game man, become a manager!
So when are these 360's supposed to be in stock again? Prolly until right before christmas?
Wow, I'm behind on the times... I just bought an XBOX (rig). Back in high school, I was on top of ALL the video game systems. I worked at 6flags for an entire summer to buy an SNK NEO-GEO, an extra controller, and 1 game. :/
Then I got back into RC, and from that day henceforth, where my entire allotment of spare $ goes...
The only thing I never had was an Atari Jaguar...
edit: Just watched "smash my xbox" - Does the best buy extended warranty cover that?
We should contribute to this board so they can host a 'smash my nomadio' session.

Very true on the discounts, still there are alot of things you get a bunch of money off of. I work as a computer tech there so i dont have to deal with customers to much. I actually like my job for now, have to finish college and go on to bigger and better things.
Smash the xbox was DUH-umb.
if anyone wants to buy a xbox 360 my buddy has one....its the premium one with the wireless controller,1 game,and he also has the carrying case thing since thier still going for about a grand on ebay so he wants about 800.....
That one is still almost $800.
Take the $720 and add the $60 shipping...
