Xbox 360

yea shortchanged and i both stayed out for about six hours....we were out there for about 6 hours and the last of three to get a ticket to one...we only got the core but bought the hard drive....it was mighty exciting...no fights though ....he is setting it up as we speak

I got one! After camping out from 7:30 PM to 8 am.....

I didnt get one. All I could get was the Core System, and I didnt want that.

I work for Target on the overnight team. We had people sitting out last night for them...we only had 20 total systems..10 $300 ones and 10 $400 ones and only 1 harddrive. They gave out vouchers for those who were there and that was it..they were gone right as we opened at 8am.

I myself will be waiting till January or Febuary to get one. That way I can watch the game library expand and see how they are first.

I saw one on Ebay this morning that at last look was sitting at $5,300.00 lol.

there is a dude who wants $9,000.00 plus $100.00 shipping, for one. What I find funny is that he cant throw in shipping for free when he is making $8,600.00 in profit lol

My brother played a show in my neighborhood last night and then had to be at work at GameStop at midnight to sell the systems they had. Apparently, over 100 people preordered them, but Microsoft would only send like 20. I imagine it was pretty crazy.

We, like Metaverse, are going to wait until early next year to get one. I just don't see the point in spending all that momey on it right now with such a limited game library. Besides, maybe by then they'll have dropped the price on it, $400 is alot a dough.

I'm drooling over the PS3, I want, I want, I want. I was excited about the Nintendo Revolution, then I saw the controller.... nuff said.

So are y'all buying them to have them or to sell? I was at a coffeeshop early studying for an 8am exam and there were some country-boys talking loudly about being in line all night and near-fistfights and stuff. I was intrigued (b/c it sounded like game tickets or concert tickets and i had no idea). So I found out from these guys that there's a big group of them whose sole purpose in securing the damn things is to sell them to yuppie asshole parents for their kids' xmas. Apparently guys were selling their places in line for like, $200.

Psssh. Going home and firing up my ColecoVision and playing me some Smurfs, bitches!

I'll get a X360 once the PS3 drops and the price wars start. I've got almost every worth while console since the Atari 2600 either setup or in boxes, most of which I never play, so I can wait.

Microsoft is so passe.
I prefer the Postmodernist edge of an NES over the Rage and Capitalist quasilibido of the Xbox 360.

Word.

But the question is: Is the hype justified? Does it perform the same as or better than a top spec PC? Personally I'm waiting for the PS3.

ps2 still kicks it's microsoft ass.

I love you.

I want one too, but I am going to wait a few months till they work out all the bugs. And I like sleep alot more the standing outside freezing my ass off for it. But for all those who did good job, hope it was worth u freezing in winter for it.

Yeah, screw Nintendo for trying to do something new with the medium.

Chris Kohler at wired.com was more impressed with the UI than anything else...

i saw a demo unit at the local gamestore, the fancy flatscreen tv impressed me more than the actual console.
i have to agree with that kohler guy, the UI of the demo disc inside was more impressive than the games it was running.

Got one. My husband keeps screaming at me "Look at the shadows!!!!". It's going to be a lonely night for me.
