dalton4life Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 (edited) I was in there just browsing but I was about to sit down start playing NBA 2K6 on the couch set up there when a worker told me they had one Core in stock. I asked him could he hold it for 15 minutes while I went to get the cash. I had to give them $8 in quarters but I left with my new 360. I'm going to download the Kiosk disc tonight since I heard that was bootable and hope to get buy a couple of games and a HD in a week or 2.

Dones Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 That's great man. What games are you planning to get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalton4life Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 That's great man. What games are you planning to get? 1003314[/snapback] Thanks a lot man. I appreciate it. It felt great buying it! Call of Duty 2 is my must have game. I will probaby get one or 2 more beside that. I'm considering Condemned: Criminal Origins, Madden 06, DOA 4 and Kameo: Elements of Power. It just slightly sucks having to wait a week or before I really can get playing it but I hope I can at least get the Call of Duty 2 demo working tonight. If not I'm going to pick up whatever Xbox magazine I saw today that had a 360 Call of Duty 2 demo on it tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 That's cool, man. Right now there just aren't enough games for the 360 that interest me enough to warrant buying one. Plus, I just got into the original xbox, and am quite happy with it right now. If I were to buy one, I'd wait til the price comes down a tad and til after I see what ninty and sony have planned for their next gen consoles..

Red 5 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 The magazine is Official Xbox Magazine, or as the kewl kidz call it, OXM. Biased ? Yes. But a great magazine with great demos every month. BTW, Welcome to the club ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only had an orginal Xbox for a few months and now here I go with the 360. Until last year I was strictly PS2 and classic systems so I've been playing Xbox catch up. I'll usually chose a console to focus on during a generation and buy the others when they get cheap. It's likely though I'll get the PS3 and Revolution whenever they come out except I'll know to pre-order PS3 as soon as stores start taking orders.

The EB here will be taking pre-orders (PS3/Rev) starting tomorrow (20th). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm unfornuately tapped out until next week but if I can I will place my pre orders next week. BTW I got the Kiosk disc working. I blew through the Call of Duty 2 demo and played the King Kong a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally bought an Ethernet cable long enough to reach my consoles in the living room from my router in another room. I mainly bought for FTPing to my original Xbox. Live looks good with the 360 if just to check out the demos. My first experience of non PC online gaming has been with the PSP and I've been having a lot of fun with that.

Jess Ragan Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 You must buy Full Auto. Get the demo right now, then buy the full version when it's released next month. It's like Burnout, squared! JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nik Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Geez, still xbox shortages? I got mine on the 23rd, 8 games with it, I would recomend buying PGR3, COD2, Quake 4 (unless you have the PC) and Condemed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Salamon Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Everywhere I've been has had the core systems kicking around... the premium systems though... those don't sit around. Good to see that there is still a mad rush for the systems after Christmas. I wonder what will happen to the sales once the PS3 and REV are revealed at E3 (or sooner perhaps). I'll be buying a Jaguar next and of the 3 next gen systems... I think the REV looks the most promising for me. But I want to see how all 3 compare. Next Christmas will be when I snap up one.

nik Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I'm not bothering with the ps3 unless they can top or match somthing like the Live Arcade, or all the games the Rev is going to have for downloading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shortage is because MS launched a system that they aren't equipped to mass-produce yet. The eBay markup market is a symptom, not a cause.

JB Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Would it be better if he'd just bought his and his friend's, then decided he'd rather make 200$ and wait on the 360? I hate console launches lately. My PoV is if you can't actually supply the product, don't ship it. Failing that, I see nothing wrong with people turning a profit because some moron believes it's worth 800 bucks to play a dozen games 6 months before the rest of the world.

Somebody who desperately wants an XBox 360, and is willing to pay what it's actually worth, will now be able to get one. This is the economy at work. Shortages are caused by prices artificially forced below free market value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one don't believe any console is worth the price they debut at, so I will wait a year or even two to where the price is what I believe it should be. Besides, I know there will be AAA games out for the system by then . Sure I'm cheap, but I'm not forcing anyone to do the same thing. If someone wants to pay double or triple the price of what the manufacturer sells a console at, more power to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
