    I commented cause i wanted to tell its stupid to post if only thing u can do is to call xbox shitty when u cant even prove it is.

    EDIT: I wonder why are some ppl here so angry. Johnodd4 calling ppl morons and u telling me to suck Bills banana. I have never ever seen ppl calling eachother morons and telling to suck someones banana in finnish site. I think im going back there -->

    I'm not a playstation fan boy, however I do like it better then xbox so far. I just want to say something in response to 2 comments.

    1. PS2& PS3 have better controllers.
    2. Someone put down PS2 ventalation system, well you have to realize PS2 came out way before Xbox so thats not even fair to compare the two. I do agree at a point,I know more people with junky PS2's then Xboxes. But I'm sure the next version will be much better.

    I'm going to eventually buy both systems however I just think the Xbox reminds me to much of a computer in a box.

    Thas your opinion, not a fact. Xbox controller is much better for me because i have big hands. Btw im not xbox fanboy either. I have nothing against ps2 and i think it good game console. Some ppl seem to be obsessed about their console and think its the only right console and all other consoles suck. Some of my friends just hate xbox, i dunno why :/ And pls no replies "they hate it because its sucks so much OMhg!".

    wow. i didn't realize they were going to mark the consoles so high. i think that price point is too steep - they'd sell significantly more if they could price it at $350...

    Ya know, I won one from the contest and I still think its too much for the games and add ons. I was never an Xbox person, cause after a game came out, you were able to get it for your pc about 4 months later. Then again, you can always wait for an emulator to come out and not buy the system like a cheap shit. When PS3 comes out, I will debate on selling my 360 or keeping it at that time. But till then I'll get the use out of a free system from the man.

    ok iv heard alot about what they should have priced the system at. so i want to clear a few things up a bit, and let you guys now how it works.

    if they could have priced it at 350 they would have. where getting into some days where there is some seriouse equiptment inside these guys, and alot of time goes into designing and creating them.

    the fully equipt 400 system is worth more than 400, what microsoft and sony do is decide what is "an exceptible loss" on the price of the console.

    these company's are making there money off of the controller, the games, other accesories...ect

    they have to weight out the profit, if we take a loss of "x" dollars on our console and we are making a profit of "x" on this, and this and this. then we can make "x" amount.

    so im happy that they where able to get the console down to the price its at..if they wanted a profit off of this guy, then WOW i dont think any of us would be looking to buy one!

    sorry to break the news, but as I just posted on another site, people are gullible enough to fork out tons of money. look on ebay--almost 800.00 for a simple xbox 360 premium without even the add-ons of games or extra accessories like you see in some of the store bundles.

    Rip-off . . and people are buying!

    This whole shortage thing is seriously getting me wondering if it would be worth it to go to someplace that isnt selling pre-orders and get one on the day it comes out and sell it on ebay. could make some serious cash. I don't even know if i would feel bad, that someone didnt get one because i bought one and sold it myself. If i get to the store early and wait in line i have put in my time. It might actually be a good investment.

    I am debating on selling my Xbox I won or not. I'm sure I could get more than it's worth, then go and buy another after Xmas.

    @backswift

    an average of 700-800 on ebay.

    and you can get one if you wait in line at wal-mart for the 12 launch if not then, the next mourning be in line at bestbuy. then you can make money and still have a 360 day of launch!

    all you people who "flamed" this guy who created this thread know absolutely nothing.

    He came at this community with pure facts and you lash back at him with pure bullshit. The things he said are true but the things you homos said are just dumbass opinions. Then you have the nerve to turn this into a xbox vs ps3 thread, which wasnt its original intent.

    You guys are like animals protecting its young, someone comes and talks about your xbox360 and you guys eat him up, supposedely, but really you just made yourself look like fools. Next time you want to "flame" someone for stating the truth make sure you come back with total and complete facts,not foolish opinions. When i say "you guys" i mean you ignorant fools with no life, smile for the camera you guys.
