Guest Ritzer Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 did any of you guys get one of these for yourself or your kids? these things are going for like 800$ on ebay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Re: xbox 360 My kids get this glazed look in their eyes when they see it advertised. Nope. Don't see one of those in the Tominator domicile unless they get it as a gift, or my wife gets it, she's a gamer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Re: xbox 360 WOW !! $800 bucks on a single item,, nope not here even if the wife and I had kids to buy gifts for..... $800 goe's a long ways in paying the bills, and besides that kind of money for something that would be out-dated with a few months is crazy... IMHO, I would use that kind of money towards a nice hunt out of state somewhere if I had it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntn4bucks Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Re: xbox 360 Negative. If I had $800 to spend on toys I would spend it on hunting toys! I guess it's all what you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZooBear Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Re: xbox 360 Next Christmas they will be $99.95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Re: xbox 360 I don't get into video game systems. Did see on the news where people were standing in line to get one in my area and thes store only had 4 of them. Is that a Bill Gates advertising scam or what. Keep volume low and the demand will be high!! In 5 years they will be in someone's yard sale for $10.00 or less!! LOL!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Re: xbox 360 There are thousands of these things for sale on Ebay right now. For those who GOTTA HAVE ONE, WAIT a little. As soon as Microsofts production picks up (and it will) the bottom is gonna fall out of EBAY price. The first ones sold on Ebay for around $4000. You could buy parts to build an absolutely fabulous gaming PC for half that. The end product would be more powerful and versatile than any console package. You and your kids would learn a heck of a lot in the process as well. Once your done, upgrading is a lot cheaper than scrambling for the seasons new console. Plus they can still play all their old games on it after upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Re: xbox 360 I am not a gamer, but after seeing this thing in Wal-Mart, I think I might become one. It looks really good and really fun...just too pricy right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reloader Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Re: xbox 360 I am a gammer but I gotta agree with Leo on this one. Consoles are too pricey, and you can't upgrade them you just scrap them for the new one coming out every 2 years or so. I built my own gaming computer about 3 years ago for less than $600 and it is still competitive ( I havent' found a game yet that it can't run smoothly, including the MMORPGs) though no longer top of the line. Will probobly have to upgrade again sometime next year to stay up with the current gamming requirements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Re: xbox 360 My kids will have to SUFFER through with the Playstation 2 for now. I'm sorry, but unless that xbox can wash clothes too, then I won't be bringin one home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaDeerHunter Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Re: xbox 360 I only have the nintendo after the atari. Sitll works. I want a PS2 and with this new 360 coming out I am sure the PS2 prices will drop from 150.00 they are now at wal-mart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illinoisbowhunter Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Re: xbox 360 Nope havent goten one yet, I will wait and see how the PS3 is when it comes out next spring/summer. I may end up getting one next Christmas really depends. A few ppl I know have goten one after having to wait in line for 6hrs. People I have seen selling them on ebay for $1500-2000 and one even for $19,000 that had bids. They are very powerful machines no doubt, were talkin 3 symmetrical cores running at 3.2Ghz each.

Illinoisbowhunter Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Re: xbox 360 For those of you who havent seen any screenshots of the new machine, Ill let these speak for themselves: Just think, these are the very first few games of the xbox 360, so it has yet to use over half its potential Tominator: Please dont let your kids view this thread, for your own good!!

Shaun_300 Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Re: xbox 360 Those graffics are great! I'm not much of a gamer, I do like to play a bit of PS2 the odd time though, especially the hockey games. I ain't gonna spend $800 for a dang console though, thats just plain insane!

Swamphunter Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Re: xbox 360 If they came out with hunting games for that thing...I'd be a gamer also! Of course I would wait a year or so until they sold for $150.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kat Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Re: xbox 360 actually I don't find it sad. They probably say the same thing about us that spend tons of cash on hunting supplies, guns, bows, etc. Just food for thought.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10acboy Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Re: xbox 360 Well, fellas I will be buying one before Christmas if I can find it. I will not buy it off of ebay and I will not pay more then the stores are asking. The price of the the console doesn't concern me too much, it's the price of the games and the extras that you may have to buy. I just hope that I can find one before Christmas.

The_Kat Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Re: xbox 360 This one won't be 100$ for a ouple years to come...trust me. The Xbox's now are 149.99 and they've been out 3 years and the 360 blows them away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountaineer Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Re: xbox 360 The Xbox 360 isn't anything compared to what the new PS3 will be. If I ever buy another console, it'll be the new playstation when it comes out, and thats coming from a big Xbox fan. They're overrated and overpriced, and there seems to be alot of problems and glitches with them that Microsoft is actually getting sued for right now. But for the mean time, I'll just use the old Xbox for my gaming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
