I'm just curious who around the community is actually going to purchase a Xbox360 when it becomes avaiable in the next few days. I'm not asking wether you think the Xbox is beter then the ps3, etc... It has already been discussed. I'm just wondering who is going to get the new xbox 360 from the jump. For those who are, enjoy! =)

We are but my damned dad is selling it on eBay instead of giving it to us... :( He has a friend that works at Toys 'R Us, so he has connections >_>

Yeah, I have a friend, and a few other people with the same idea. Its not really that bad of an idea. They know that someone will pay a little extra to get it when they run into a shortage. Xbox already knows they are not releasing enough for demand right away. That is all part of there stratedgy though =P

P.S. That sucks for you also, haha.

C'mon, it's Microsoft. He was probably doing you a favor.

I wouldn't buy one. There are other things that I want more, that cost about the same amount. Like a new amplifier for my bass. <!--<st>Or a bunch of hookers.</st>-->

If I buy a next-gen, it'll be a Nintendo. I wanna play the old-skool games again. Think of how many hours of Donkey Kong I'll have to play!

I'm getting the 360 at Christmas. There are several games that I'm sure I want to get.

I found out Microsoft is only giving about 20 Xbox 360's to stores that get a lot of business and about 4 to ones with little business. I also heard they won't be going into mass production until about may or August or something like that.. DAMN YOU MICROSOFT!!!

All you have to do is donate money to the paypal account mike_boyd8[at]hotmail[dot]com and I will buy one. Thanks.

Only reason I want one for launch is CoD2.

I saw CoD2 today played on the Xbox 360 at a gamestop store. Pretty cool looking actually, but I noticed a few glitches. I'm not blown away by the graphics but its noticable.

IF someone could tell me the graphics look like that on PC, then my buying will be delayed until Halo 3.
