360 Madness

Check out this guy. $18,000 and this is just the core system without the hard drive and one game.

Some people are just crazy if they think someone is going to pay that much for a game system. And it is the lower one. the Retail price for htat is like 350.

But you get a free game. So its worth it.

That is how much my car was. I checked a couple of others and people have bid up to $1200. That is ridiculous.

I know. It's like a feeding frenzy.

Those flippers had to work hard to get those 360's... standing in the bitter cold in the seattle area to the rain in the new york area... sometimes up to 72 hours... I think they should get whatever they can. Yeah... this guy is an idiot... most likely put 1 too many zeros...

If you want to be mad... be mad at the idiots that are paying this price... 1200 to 3000... be mad at them.. because they are the idiots that are driving this frenzy, even though more shipments are coming on Friday... and then every week there after...

Well I only stood in line for one hour and 30 minutes. I only got the core system. My Wal-Mart only had 2 premiums. Sold mine on ebay for 660. I am saving the profit for the PS3 next year. I am totally anti Microsoft!

I only did this once - when the PS2 came out, I stayed out in line all night at my
local Best Buy to get one of the stupid things. What an idiot I was, as I got it
to keep, and still have it. I should have turned around and sold it ASAP then.
I paid $300+ for the thing, and had to sleep in a parking lot all night with 100
other boneheads. Now you can get a smaller, better version for $150 + free game.

Having said all that, I'd do the same thing over to get a XBox 360 just to re-sell at
this point to take the profit and put into other things. There is NO reason to go
all crazy over the thing, as there'll be plenty to go around later, and the price
will be cheaper too, just like all game systems and computers.

When the PS3 comes out next year I'll have to get in on it early I guess......
