[CactuSaq]

I wanted to try to get one of these but the price ranges are nuts they go from horrible to not bad.

Horrible http://cgi.ebay.com/XBOX-360-Premium...QQcmdZViewItem


Not bad http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZntswebsites

The first auction was from an ebayer named "xbox360liksballs", with 0 feedback. I doubt that he bid on in the auction to actually buy it.

The others are crazy, i agree. People were spending $2000 on just the premium with 3 games. That is like the "super bundle" that gamestop gives with every launch title.

Whew..Oh man! $2k for a Video Game Console? I mean I'm sure me and rest of us got plenty of system or 2 to get by No?
1st generation machines most likely has problems as is and then paying up the A$$ for it..I don't think so..

Look at $ony Machines..Ps1,Ps2..I'll wait till 360 has at least Version 2 or 3 B4 purchasing one..Maybe I"m being paranoid here but I dealt with this several times with Ps1 and Ps2's one too many times..

On day of launch, I seen 15 of them in a store that nobody touched for ages, so I bought em all, and sold em in my shop for a 20% profit i.e. £60 profit.

wow..lol, That is a lot.

I don't see how it can be so hard in the states to get an xbox360. Here in sweden I can go into my local gameshop and say "x360 premium now! oh btw give me Condemned, Call of Duty 2 and Kameo aswell... hmm maybe an extra controller too?" and get the response "mkay, you want something to carry it in too?".

So why haven't I done it? Because I am still waiting for Oblivion so when that gets released it is x360 time.

Real simple life here...

Only about half of the the total xbox's at launch were given to the USA. Which was around 400k...The US probably had more than a million pre-orders. AND that is pre-orders, not includiung people that just buy off the shelves. Most shops were only getting 15 or so total units out of 50-100 pre-orders. That is a lot of disappointed people.

The thing is in a very high demand over here. Even last week people were lined up over night to get one. MS simply didn't make anough units for the country. The only reason I got a hold of one was due to the fact that Costco requires a membership card and I got their very early. Our Gamestop's and EBGames' won't even sell out to the pre-orderer's completely until february.

Mhhh... interesting.
Same here in Germany. ALL Premium Packs are sold out. When will new one´s come? Nobody knows.

Luckly I got 1 but I had to wait 2 Hours in Line. But our Local Store had only given the Boxes to Pre-Orderers... Lucky again, I got the LAST Pre-Ticket from a friend working at the Store.
A Woman in front of me wanted... hold your self... 3!!! of the Premium Packs.
Guys sais: "Kay, gimme your Pre-Order."
Girl: "Don´t got one! Do I need one? Really? NO WAY! Gimme 3 Premium Packs NOW!"

LOL That was too damn funny. Technicaly the Premium Packs where sold out in seconds. And now there is no chance in hell getting a premium till next year or so...

BUT I could throw you all to death with the Core system´s. NO ONE will buy them... of course. Pure MS Rip off.
But hey... who cares? I got my box. Lucky me. And Im happy with it...

...Im not darn complaining about every little thing thats not perfect with it.
The Box is noisy at play? Turn up the damn Volume of your Speakers! Simple as that

Just wanted to say that.

PEACE

P.S. Excuse my bad english. And my bad Gramma. And... you know...
