Saw Xbox 360's at Target
 
They were just sitting there in the case. Didn't look like many were interested in them.

I'm going to wait for a PS3.

You think they'll go on sale? I didn't think consoles really ever went on sale since margins on consoles are small. They do lower the cost over time though.

Bill Gates is a smart man, but I do think that much of the hysteria surrounding the launch was a simple matter of honest supply and demand. I don't think they could have anticipated the demand being what it was. They could have produced more and had the launch not been as successful they'd have been sitting on a surplus which wouldn't be good business. If I were a MSFT shareholder I'd have applauded their launch even more.

yeah, give it a year or so and the prices will start dropping when all the consoles are fighting over the market

Sosa 01-02-2006 11:12 AM

yeah I picked up 3 core systems yesterday. Threw them right on ebay. First one just sold for $50 over retail.

I thought of doing that but I figured that some parent would be happier to get it locally and pay regular retail.

I didn't take them all. There were still some on the shelf. Small walmart here. Only people that really want them here are college students and they are out on break right now. They just want the premiums

flashfire 01-02-2006 04:17 PM

ya I saw some at walmart today...no big thing anymore

Niklas 01-02-2006 04:20 PM

are you guys living in smaller cities or something? because its impossible to find one here.

adultchica 01-02-2006 04:23 PM

The ps3 is looking mighty attractive, can't wait until they come out

Rob 01-02-2006 04:24 PM

Maybe I should buy one seeing how all the haters have been talking so much shit about my contest thread. :winkwink:

Sosa 01-02-2006 04:28 PM

Small place here. I would only keep a premium one but haven't been able to find one of those.

BAKO 01-02-2006 04:30 PM

PS3 is gona be better

nofx 01-02-2006 04:37 PM

if you paid $800+ for an xbox(like KMR), you're a fucking fool and a retard.

Gateway69 01-02-2006 04:56 PM

ps3 is still a ways away.. the 360 is quite nice esp how they handle online play, I hope sony is gonna look into this and not ignore the whole online community aspect.. I personally dont think they will be M$ has one up on them since they already learned alot from the first xbox live.

Too bad most of us make like +$10k/month and $800(+/-$300) is nothing to us. :321GFY

ShaneRyale 01-02-2006 05:16 PM

There's a TON of them all over my city.

You do know the company is more than Bill Gates right? And they did anticipate the launch being that big, that is why they rushed an unfinished product onto the shelves. The reason you had the limited numbers was because it was a world launch not a north american only launch. Asia and europe usually get a system, cell phone or vehicle first then it gets launched in america shortly after on the next production run.

We will see what happens with all the crashing systems, that is the reason you see so many of them sitting on the shelves now, consumers are being warned that the system is faulty and they are assuming there will be a recall or at least waiting for word that they have fixed the crash on boot issues that are being reported.


As far as paying a inflated price because we make a lot of money..... speak for yourself. I don't care how much money I make, smart purchases are smart purchases, knowing that I can is enough, I do not have to go make inflated purchases to prove it, that is a "new money" thing. the rich get richer by spending money on strategic purchases and building residual income, purchases and investment with future return.

The rich live how the poor should and the poor live how they thinnk the rich do :2 cents:
