Ok, a buddy of mine is looking to buy an Xbox 360 (The $399.99 one with the hard drive, etc...) He didn't pre buy it, so the lame ass can't find it anywhere now. So, is anyone here selling one? He's willing to pay a little more to get it ASAP.

It is going to be a game time decision for me. I preordered it but am still not sure about the purchase. No promises, but if I decide not to get it I will let you know and pick it up for you.

ebay will be the worst place imaginable to buy these things once they launch. People were already paying $700+ for the xboxes that will be given early to the Every10minutes.com winners.

Is it that hard to wait maybe 3 months to avoid high prices and shitty first batch hardware?

well according to the staggered release list, most of the launch games are gonna come out in november with a shitload being much delayed xbox titles and sport game shit.
It's mostly just the fact that it's being released before christmas and that MS has learned how to do the "oops we have a production shortage" thing that Sony has down great. Some stores are only getting like 10 systems on launch day..
I know I'm waiting..fuck this.

The first version of hardware almost always sucks.
But if you want to by one and have a little bit of time on your hands. Go to stores like Sam Goody and Wherehouse and other places that sell games, but aren't thought of as game stores. The problem is that each store on gets a few, but they are usually still there, because most people don't even know that these places sell games.

Well, my dopey friend is going to try to buy his on Friday from Circuit City's site. If that fails, I guess we're camping out at Best Buy for the damn thing. Lucky for him, my buddy is 7 feet tall and will skull fuck anybody who gets in his way. Anybody else here planning on sleeping in a shopping cart overnight for a piece of Microsoft's new toy?

No. Screw those idiots that buy a xbox 360 for that much money. I'll wait two years, and laugh at all my friends while I save a bunch of money.
I lost the game. Now you're in it too.
The point of the game (The Game) is to forget The Game. The second you remember The Game, you lose. Then there is a 5 minute grace period after someone loses, to forget about The Game. The person that lost is out of The Game for 30 minutes, then rejoins. There is no avoiding The Game, because once you know the rules, you play The Game for life.

Is it in yet?
Posted 14 November 2005 - 11:43 PM
Nah, I'll wait for Halo 3 or Gears of War. Whichever comes first.
Oh, by the way, does anybody know how bad is the shortage?

I wish I could just be able to afford one. I would rather save my money and wait for the PS3.

Supposedly very bad. The Xbox 360 release is "worldwide". That's Asia, Europe, and US. The Xbox 360s are going to be spread thin.Nah, I'll wait for Halo 3 or Gears of War. Whichever comes first.

FUCK THAT!
My PS1 and PS2 broke before the class action lawsuits on both. So i had to pay $75 in 97 (I think it was 97, i can't remember) and $85 in 2001 to get them fixed. I will never buy a first generation Sony system again. I game hard and a hell of a lot. And Sony can't hang with real gamers.
I'll get the revolution the day it comes out. And wait for the price to drop on the Xbox 360 before i buy it. And wait longer still for a second generation/revamped PS3.

Every first gen system has problems. Xbox had playback issues and power cords catching fire if I'm not mistaken.
