i can not believe what people are doing to get this thing. The other night there was a line of people clear around the local Best Buy store camping out to get one. Than I look on ebay and they are going for 800 to 1200 bucks!!!. I love playing video games but that is just insane. Give it 6 months to a yr and you will be able to get them anywhere and probally for under 300 bucks. I was just amazed about all of this and was curious what you guys think. Would you go through all of this to play vid games? :shrug:

Personally, I think it's borderline StarWars nerd level. To each, their own, as they say.
I don't plan on getting and Xbox until they become common at yard sales....

I love gaming, but I don't plan on being sucked into this stuff. I have my original Xbox and have plenty of great game options still. I don't think it's outdated yet. Heck, I still find the original Nintendo entertaining.

Nah I wouldn't, not opposed to gaming and play one now and then but not **that** into it. I wouldn't have anything at all against gaming or gamers except that I've seen the extreme results firsthand, some kids have totally lost themselves in these alternate realities. I mean like completely gone, don't care about anything else, worse than drugs.
I even have the orginal Atari around here somewhere, I rigged it up with some hair-trigger switches that bounce, specialized for the Atari version of Defender.
Maybe I'll dig it out today, got buttloads of family here.

I think video games are great and am always willing to pick-up a new system if the games available appeal to me. Right now, the 360's launch games suck ass.
I will get the 360 when Halo 3 comes out. Like you guys said, by then $199 everywhere.

When I bought my ps2 I paid close to 300 for it, two months later they where around 199 or even less, Wonder how many people are going to spend 900 bucks on ebay and have something similar to happen. I bet they will be kicking themsleves in that ass lol.

Anyone who bought one should be kicking themselves. i dont know if it is just my town that got a bad shipment or what but apperentley a few 360's have had major problems. Just a whole slew of stuff not working it was all over the local news
That is why I wait a few months like you guys said the price goes down and they get the bugs worked out.

I got my X a few years back after the price dropped. Honestly, I don't like using a gaming system, I much prefer my PC. I have never gotten the hang of a controller pad. I can keep up with most people on the PC but crash and burn on the consoles.
I use my X-Box to play all the old Nomando stuff, Video Poker, and Pia-gow.
Ill do a 180 on the 360 thanks.

The ps2 had some problems when it first came out too. Mine wouldnt play dvd's, so I took it back to the store I bought it from the local Mall and they told me they had a 3 day return policy and wouldnt take it back. I was so frustrated since it was on the 4th day I took it back. So I had to send it to Sony and about 3 weeks later I got it back. I think they just get in a rush at the manufactures to get it out on the shelf before getting all of the buys out :shrug:4u2nv said:

i think it depends. I have friends that have called me crazy and dumb for spending $500 for my savage (before break down repairs and hop-ups). Spending all of that money on their favorite gaming console is just like us spending it on a nitro or electric. Just my 2 cents

Yup, I'm with you Rob... I'm a Halo FREAK. And I agree that the prices right now are INSANE! I'm waiting a few months when My (and my brothers) budget goes up. We are splitting the price, so I have to wait for him. I can't WAIT tho. I was at walmart today (it was crazy there) and They had the 360 on display and the controllers are smaller then I thought! I thought they were going to be about the same as the xbox ones, but they are about the size of the PS2 ones. Awesome.robmob said:
