Did any of you get the Xbox 360? Heard that the premium package has been sold out in many stores the day it came out. And now they're on ebay, selling for close to a grand. I say just wait another 6 months, and you can get it for it's normal retail price.

extremely overrated launch, too pricey, launch titles suck (with the exception of perfect dark zero, PGR3, and ridge racer 6), and that only the best features of the 360 comes in the "premium package" that has backwards compatibility and the hard drive, which the "normal package" doesn't have, won't compel me to buy one. i mean, who the hell would want the "normal package", when "the premium package" is the one to get, just for $100 more; the hard drive itself costs a $100! tsk tsk...bad marketing for microsoft

indeed, very true. plus, with the news of certain "problems" with the 360 has started to rise on gaming forums everywhere, namely the hard drive overheating, the console would either crash/freeze (another problem due to overheating), the hard drive not working, and games that are scratched by the hard drive. then again, historically, there were always problems that come when consoles/handhelds were launched (cough *PSP* cough), so it's not a surprise this was going to happen

Seriously, they give me NO reason whatsoever to buy that system.
I mean, I don't buy a system just to "sample" some capabilities of it...
They should offer me some great games to go along with it. It just doesn't motivates me by offering an overpriced system without any software to back it up.
Is slightly faster and better graphics really worth buying a system with no games to play? If I had to choose which console to take me with to a deserted island between xbox360 and PSX, I'd gladly take the PSX, or even SNES.

There's been lots of news about Xbox 360s crashing and whatnot....
Not uncommon though for new console releases.

I'll probably buy one once Halo 3 comes out? maybe?
or maybe once the price drops...I'd rather save my $$$ for the PS3 instead...right guys?

and I acn't believe the people on ebay are willing to pay for it for around $1000+...I mean...that's just crazy! they got it for $400 and they instantly earned $$$ to buy more than 1 system!

I got one, man the visuals are crazy for Perfect Dark Zero. Can't wait for HALO 3 and Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion to come out.

well... caved in, and actually got one. not bad. I like how perfect dark zero is looking. however, I'd probably be more excited once Nintendo Revolution comes out. Why? The ability to play old games on it. That would be swank.

I honestly dont see the point in getting the console when it just comes out. The games arent to great (for the time being) its to pricey and there are some bugs. So i say wait that extra 6 months for a normal retail priced console with some new games and for them to fix it up a bit. Its worth the wait.
