I wish I was out there.

There were people giving $100 for their spot in line!!!:lol: :lol:

All I would've needed to do was get there early. I would have been one of the first in line and then some moron would've ponied up $100 and I'd go home after 30 minutes of work of.....standing.

Morons I tell you. When the PS3 comes out I'm gonna be out there. Maybe I can get more than a $100.

there's a shortage??? they gotta be fookin' kidding. kinda deflates the bragging rights of being first to market (ahead of ps3 & revolution).

Wtf this is gay. U would think they would overstock Xbox 360's so there would be enough to buy. I remember the first day the PSP was selling, I bought one and I noticed that they had like 50 more lol. If we don't get another shipment before Christmas, I'm gonna really be pissed. :dry:

haha i think it would be better to wait till christmas caz of sales and discounts and such plus more games will be out.

haha i think it would be better to wait till christmas caz of sales and discounts and such plus more games will be out.

but why we have to wait untill christmas. It doesnet have to be like that because they should have made more of the 360 anyways. Their should be a shipment coming in next week on Xbox 360's but no they want us to wait all the way untill christmas to get one. If they new everyone was really waiting for it why they want us to wait all the way untill chirstmas. It doesnet make no sense if you ask me becuase their should be more than that at stores.

'cause their console is first on the market but it's not actually ON the market. it's not on the shelves. they didn't supply the retailers with as many as they wanted, and people who want to buy the console can't buy it. they botched this launch, man.

US $2,225.00

thats what an xbox 360 just sold for on ebay. the premium edition. i think microsoft once again dropped just enough blood in the ocean to make one hell of a comotion.

Fuck that shit. I would never pay that much for a console...

the upcoming revisions will prolly be fine. but yeah, never be the first in line to buy a new model of electronic device, appliance, car, etc 'cause you'll be the one who has to deal with all of the bugs, glitches, and defects.

I just called up Xbox and asked them when will their next shipments be in and they told me that they are trying to ship them out A.S.A.P. I called up every store in my city and they told me they wearn't getting any untill christmas and they COULDN'T order anymore for some reason. I dont know whats going on but im on the retailers side on this one because every store said they wearnt gettin any untill christmas or after christmas.

Have any of yall heard of the rumor "Black Friday" because someone told me on XBL that someone called up the 1888 number for bestbuy and that he asked that are they gonna have some 360's around the country for "black friday" and the rep said yes. If yall dont know what black friday is; it is the day after thanksgiving where everyone goes to the malls and other stores early in the moring for the holiday shopping for christmas and everyone get discounts and stuff. So i dont know if MS trying to play a trick on us or what but i was about to spend my money i have saved for my 360 untill i heard of this rumor all we have to do is wait and see.

thats not the most ive seen on ebay for a 360. The most money i seen on Ebay for a 360 was $100,000 and the bid was still going up.

thats doubtful

Yeah I work at kmart in the electronics dept. the day before people slept overnight from 10pm to 7am then the thing about is that we only had twelve of them so we had took them dem to the front desk and they said they were gone by 7:30 so the peeps who didn't get one i bet looked stupid but some people are payin in the thousands for those shit. P.S. please quit callin the stores asking abou that game, gets on our nerves lol
