XBox 360 is only for Billionaires

[Traitorfish]

Have you seen the price of the 360? 280 bloody pounds! WHat the hell is with that? I can't afford that, I'm 16! Most gamers are 15-25, and can't just pull £280 out of their ass. They'll need to lower the price, as they did with the first XBox.

I don't know at the moment the exchange rate of pounds to dollars is but I think the price is average for a new system now.

Price of the bare bones system: 299 US dollars
Premium set with harddrive, backwards compatability, and free XBox live: 399.

I can afford one Premium set and a game with just two weeks pay.

PS3 shall be quite expensive as well.

[Dreddz]

I swear PS2 was like that last year, i think all consoles are worth the price......

[Dignified Pauper]

PS3 is gonna be like 500 here in the states, or so it is rumored, making it around 250 in europe

[Trumpet Thief]

chaos: I'll just wait until they release yet another new "revolutionary" system, and buy Ps3, and possibly the 360 at it's lowest price ever.

Trowa: We'll pick up it's games at the closest Flea Market. :)

I paid £300 for my PS2

and my PSX, well I got that for free, but that also cost £300 or so at launch.

That's the standard price for a console at launch.

Just wait until Xbox 720 comes out then get it on the cheap

You mean like the Revolution?

!osnap

Seriously, not only will it have the best game library ever, it has a controller that can both simulate sword fights on screen and double as a dildo, rendering it also the system most prone to having vulgar jokes made about it, which gives it yet another point. Nintendo ftw. Now if only they'd release the FFVII remake on Revolution...

I like to wait until the consoles drop a hundered or so bucks until I buy them. Of course, I have no plans to buy the Xbox thing anyway.

Yeah, those newfangled computertrons!

[Destai]

I'll do what Im doing with the PSP. Ignore it until its released enough games to interest me to buy it which wont be for a while so it'll be cheaper.

I can. :foot:

[Erdrick Holmes]

Yams, get me 100 dollars since you can pull it out of your ass... be sure to clean it first.

Joel, the X-Box live subscription that comes with the premium package of the 360 only gives limited online capabilities, such as watching other people play, and creating gamertags. You still need to pay for a real membership. ;)

And depending on your moral and ethical standpoints, you can always mug someone outside of Wal-Mart or Toys-R-Us on launch day, since they're having a first come first serve system. ;)
