$400 for the new XBOX !
NO THANKS
I think I will wait for a while
the only next gen im gonna get is the Revolution
That price will fall quite rapidly. Early adopters always pay over the odds for the latest stuff and the retailers know it. Anyway the 360 will cost around $500 to produce so they will all be sold as a loss. All the profit from the console market comes from the games so the manufacturers won't give a stuff about making a loss on the actual console and use them as a loss leader to sell more games.
All 3 look good, but I feel stupid I bought a NGC so I'm not going back to Nintendo. I'll buy the XBOX 360 a few months after release.
400??? *shakes head* guess ill build a computer first after all.
Same here , i should have gotten an X-box instead of NGC, i got it because of metroid prime, which was utterly dissapointing. i'll never buy a nintendo system for myself, ever again.Quote:

When have MS ever said it will be $400 please do like me to a quote from Billy and not some Forum with someone saying it will, or a news article saying the XB360 is likley to be priced arround $400. Everything you see, hear and read about all 3 consoles its fucking bullshit for the next few months.
Why don't people wait untill (shock horror) they have enough infomation to make a decent choice and not decide months in advanced based of the name or the stupid CGI movies someone has made in his basement to be 1337.
maybe it's because without rumors our sad pathetic lives would daunt us while we dwindled away?Quote:

Why buy console when most games worth buying are on or will eventually be on PC.
Like every console i have ever bought im waiting for this to go below 300 CAD.
damn cheap ass canadians
:lol: We're not that bad.Quote:

Just a few reasons off the top of my head why the current consoles are worth buying.
Hmmm...I read that the Xbox 360 will be $299* and it will cost M$ $375 to make it. They lose $75 for every one sold.Quote:

Peerzy is owning this thread lol.....
Why is it expensive, its way better then what we have now, and not that much more in cost. Plus we don't know the exact price, so wait.
The revolution is gonna suck, i just have to say that.
ill end up buying both consoles lol, ps3 and x360..dont wanna miss out on anything
