Re: Xbox 360

ps3 is gonna be over $400-500, for sure, every video console is about the same price.... so i rather getting a 360 than a ps3

[quote=algy]Magnus purchased 7 pre-orders over the summer and took today off from work to pick them all up. He called me and said Quake IV is fucking amazing. He's planning to sale 6 of the 7 and will most likely for double what he paid. This can be gauged by looking at EBay.. people are unloading these things for $1200+ when they were only purchased for $400.[/quote]

why do people pAY THAT much? they can go to target to get it for normal prices???

Re: Xbox 360

[quote=Jammer8]come on people, get your facts straight before posting. the ps3 is going to be under $400 as confirmed by sony. do you really think sony would release something at $600 or $700 when the 360 retails for 400 and will already, by the time ps3 comes out, have a huge base. check this link out

[URL="http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=13145"]http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=13145[/URL][/quote] its just smarter to do that all around, they will sell a ton more if they produce enough for the demand. i cant wait for it..last i checked it said late spring, is it really next xmas? lame. oh well least i have the ps2 for now. i hope final fantasy is for ps2/3 cuz i love that game!

Re: Xbox 360

It's one thing to try to make some money on eBay, and it's another to be a just greedy and try to get thousands like a lot of people are doing there. I guess one would be an idiot to pay anything 3 times what it retailed for.

I think it's people trying to make these idiots who pay thousands of dollars for something they could have for hundreds, stop and realize how stupid they are. Or it's some asshole trying to make quick million.:D

Re: Xbox 360

ps3 supposedly comes out in japan in spring 06. & at the soonest summer 06 if not holiday 06 for the US. i think the price point will be roughly the same at release time.

Re: Xbox 360

finally made it all the way over the apartment parking lot and played my friends for a bit last night (project gotham racing and perfect dark) and it was admittedly pretty cool, yet i still dont understand the ridiculous prices people are paying and the fact that my friend waiting 17 hours in line to get one... i could only really tell the difference in graphic quality when you are standing still right in front of something... kinda weird, my friend bragging about how much better the graphics were on perfect dark compared to games on regular xbox, but you have to stand still and do nothing to see it, cant really tell when running around, and when do you stand still on a friggin first person shooter?

Re: Xbox 360

I should pre-order and sell on ebay. just not sure how willing someone would be to buy an xbox from a 0-sales seller and 2-purchases buyer

#519250Post 54 of 64

Re: Xbox 360

most likely not very, but you never know. try it, but have a pic of you holding the xbox for authenticity. i saw one bird on there witha big grin selling it for 5,000.00 buy it now.

Figures. Just like games, I'm sure systems are released before they are completely done. Let the people get a hold of it and work out the last couple issues for them...like overheating. :roll:
