you can't create demand by limiting supply.

If you wear a tin foil hat it might be.

It's not exactly easy to manufacture over 600,000 units in a few weeks.

Yeah, for a lawaway?

Haven't you heard of a credit card???

Yes, yes I did. I know, I'm sad.
Nobody will give me an unsecured credit card, and if I could afford the $500 to get a secured card, I really wouldn't need a credit card now, would I?

After 11 hours in front of ShopKo, I have my premium 360 and PGR3. I am however missing a days sleep from sitting out all night.

Hey guys, in an effort to curb the upcoming flow of "what's your gamertag and what games you got" threads, I've updated gamerspouch to include a page that shows anyone with a gamertag entered in the database, as well as what games they have in their collection (seperated into xbox and xbox 360 lists)

enjoy.

The system is way too hyped up, I predict a lot of disappointed people on the horizon.

I would probably agree. I will probably just wait the 12-18 months to get to my price point.

Sell it and profit, they are on sale for like $3000, offer to pay next day shipping and half price or free.

 

[UpgradeFailure]

Anyone use Windows Media connect yet to stream stuff? It doesn't find my xbox, wondering if there's some ports I have to forward to anything else.

Nice! My gf wouldn't get out of bed. Although in hindsight, she made the better move.

EDIT:Now I want a pic of you & the wife each holding a 360.😀

Actually whatever I sell mine for would be pure profit since I got it for free.

for that amount of money, i would say... "0 feedback members must contact me in advance before bidding."

 

[spidey07]

man, if I can make that much money on e-bay I might just sell mine.

Haven't cracked it open yet.

Heh. I spent Friday night going thought the same dillema. It went right out the window when ups brought it Saturday, though.

For the wireless on the Xbox 360 (got a premium but would like to use Xbox live without that stupid cable), can I get a simple USB network adapter (we sell those for laptops for example) instead of the Microsoft one? Has anyone tried it?

I don't think you can. However, the old one for the original Xbox, and probably the ones made by Linksys and others would work.

Can we load/transfer HD movies/tv/clips/whatever onto the hard drive to watch on our HD tvs?

 

[Josh]

are these pretty much sold out everywhere? would be cool if people posted a list of any stores with extras?

You can stream stuff from a Windows Media Center PC, but I don't know if you can store movies or anything like that. Music you could, and maybe pictures.

Thats how I understand it. You can also play mp3's and movies from DVD's.

So without the Media Center PC, you can't?

I'm trying to set up windows media connect (for music and pictures) and can't seem to get it going.

I hope there's a 3rd party program to let us stream video to it too (Why couldn't a program just make the 360 think we are using a media PC?)
