Thread: XBox 360 is only for Billionaires

  1. #1

    Default XBox 360 is only for Billionaires

    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.

    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.
    Word/s.

    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.

    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.
