Piss on the 360, I'm out. I have spent the last two weeks trying to find one with no luck at all. I tried one last time today and struck out big time. I went to Wal-mart, Sam's, Best Buy, Toys R US and every video game place in the mall. I might change my mind in January but for now and sick and tired of this whole mess.

Pretty amazing, and considering the prices they are going for, Ebay/Paypal has probably made more profit on the Xbox 360 than MS will during its entire product lifespan.

OT: BTW It sounds like Ebay got hosed on buying SKYPE, that company sounds like a useless POS for them, after reading their reasoning with the car analogy.

I would have absolutely no problem wating in line for 10 hours if i just knew i was guaranteed a system in the morning. You have to admit, being any number above 20 is scary. I don't care what anyone says how much Best Buy will have. 20 seems to be the magic low point number.

If you were number 42 on the 18th with 10-12 hours of waiting ahead, by the time morning rolls around i think you would be a wreck wondering if you will get a system or not.

Ha, I don't mind if I look silly, it's all part of the fun. Hopefully it won't be snowing that night! Though snow > rain.

Yeah just like they were big losers in 01-02 after the original Xbox debuted the exact same way...oh wait.

$60 for them to email you when systems are in stock?!?! Wow.

A premium system for the low low price of 1299.99. But wait, the list price is $2000.

Sad thing is people probably pay for both of those.

I realized tonight that I don't really care that much anymore, dammit, and the drive was going on so well.

I'll wait til the 18th.

Look at this auction. Be sure to read the fine print at the bottom of the page.

Anyone near Ravenna, OH who feels like running someone over with a speeding vehicle?

Is this LEGAL however? SCUMMY SCUM SCUM, yes. Guy is a smart asshole. But is it legal? It seems clear that they are not getting an X-Box from the fine print.

I thought eBay was cracking down on all those "info on how to get (insert item name) free" auctions.

Needless to say, that seller has been reported.

Struck out again this morning in Chicago (sunday).

Jezze what a slimy bastard.

You have to love 100% positive feedback with a grand total of 1.

...of which he was the buyer hahah.

Sony dropped the ball on HD? The PS3 is running off of Blu-Ray. The 360 off of regular DVDs. How, exactly, does that put the 360 ahead?

Anyone been reading the forums at xbox.com? Man the conspiracy theories are rampant! They are an angry mob ready for a lynching too!

Maybe he means hard drive?

Found out today that the Target by me is getting twentysomething units in very soon. They told this guy to keep on checking back because they are not sure of the date.

Correct, I meant HDD I guess? After reviewing the PS3 thread, I may just hold out. It says spring release, blu-ray, 80 gb HDD, and HDMI, which I can easily convert to DVI for my TV, plus full compatibilty for my existing libray, although I don't play old games much at all.

That all being said, once the opportunity arrises, I would probably grab a 360.

80 GB HDD? But it's sold seperately right?

That's what has been speculated but when the 360 came out I kept hearing that "Mircosoft released their next generation game system at least a year before Sony will release the PS3". Now I have no idea when to expect it.

Eh, misleading. Because I think the PS3 is out in the fall.
