Uh.. this is pissin me off every1 is bitchin about it.

Think about it... as consoles get better.. they get more expensive.

Its either spend more money.. or not have nxt generation gaming for 5 years.. and the generation after this is gonna be even more expensive.

Hope that made sense.

Thanks

You mean for 7 months. If the 1. PS3 is more powerful.....

Even then, If you wait until the PS3 is out, you know the 360 will come down to 299.99 w/1 bonus game. And their wont Even be a core version.

Or Maybe MS thinks that launching HALO3 the same day the PS3 is released, is going to do thaaaat much. Sure people will be waiting in line for 2 pre-orders that day.........

Also I hope it makes sense to you that I can buy 2 Springfield Armory XD Firearms, with a few magazines. Guaranteed FOR LIFE,Also they will last longer than a lifetime , and I can hand them down to my children. For the same price of something that will last 5 years.... If not LESS. You cant defend your life with a 360, your not going to pass it down to your children when you grow old and die.......... Plus I bet the warranty for the 360 is what... a Year?

I think before you complain about prices you need to learn how to spell EVEN!!!!!!!!!!

WTF is with people?

[sp3cialk]

Think about the computing power you are buying... you would spend a heck of a lot more to get this in a pc version....

[SirGuyO]

You mean the eye candy... Yes its nice.

However eye candy does not make a game, it just makes it pretty.

and the generation after this is gonna be even more expensive.

Only due to inflation, there is a limit that a consumer will want to spend on a video game.

How many of you are really buying their own xbox, and not getting their parents to buy it for you?

Its going to take me 48 work hours to pay for this thing. That’s not including taxes taken out of my check, or my Medical/Dental/Car Insurance. (Yes I get car insurance through my Employer) Maintenance on the car....

I also have to pay for rent ($800 a month for 900 Sq. feet) buy Gas (I drive an hour to work and back, and live in California, Gas is 2.95 where I live.) Pay for groceries, Water, Electric, Cable,Trash.

So sorry for the bad spelling grammar, I will try to slow down some, and spell everything right for all you people out their.


Its just VERY expensive, thats all...... Compared to a lot of other things that will last longer...

what does buying guns have to do with buying a 360? if ur complaing about buying a 360 over a gun, ur complaing to the wrong people and demanding to the wrong people, take ur colt and go to MS and demand it for anno say free or 100 bucks ? im sure they will listen! i mean sorry bro but i dont think anyone cares if u can buy a gun for as much as a 360... and thats bullshit u can use a 360 to defend ur life, in 5 years or 2 years if a bastard comes in my house and i got a 360 laying about u can bet its going right at them.. atleast i wouldnt go to jail for killin the person that way !

[wtfd00d]

Plus who the hell is talking about guns or whatever the hell youre talking about? If you wanna buy a gun instead of a 360 go ahead and buy one, I dont think there are any console vs. weapon debates floating around are there??

yeah! who cares how "realistic" COD2 is... You can't get more realistic than real life!!!

[SirGuyO]

My POINT about the firearms was:

They will last my ENTIRE LIFE. WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY I Understand why that can cost 300-1,000 dollars. You Cant Go Wrong with that.

Bad Analogy I suppose.

The cost is just too much for something your going to have for 5 years. Also for some reason if it breaks in a year, I would have to buy a new one.

I Have a DVD Player, A CD-R/RW, a DVD-R/RW, a Computer, A XBox, a PS2, A PSP, a Ninetnedo 64/gamecube/SNES/NES a Dreamcast. I have plenty of great games.

So Yes, that 1 teraflop of floating point calculations is for the eye candy.
The 399.99 is for the eye candy...


Most likley I will Buy this system, with all listed above.
I will charge it to my credit card, since I will not be able to budget this in right now.
Then make payments for 4-5months, adding 3.9% each billing cycle.

Well then I also have a point of buying a POS car for around 300-1000 when it DRIVES!!! Instead of buying a 360 I can drive a CAR!!!

The point is who cares what you can buy instead of a 360 around here, unless you are talking about something on the subject. This isnt a firearms forums, its VIDEO GAMES....

[Plagued]

Right ... you have a NES and a SNES, well go and do some research and see how long they have been out, I think you'll find it's quite a lot longer than 5 years .. try over 15.
Now look at the price they were released at ... I think you'll find it's the equivelent to double the cost of the 360. While you're at it .. check the megadrive, PS1, PS2 and xbox release prices.
I think you'll find that the 360 is one of the cheapest consoles ever to have been released.

Now In relation to your 'it lasts a life time' .. I'm going to go and spend $1 on a large stick ... Now that's value for money!

[SirGuyO]

Yes, you can,you will either. No matter what its going to have problems. A) have to put in twice the amount you paid for it to keep it running for a month. It will break down in a month.





My point of the topic, was is it worth it. All I did was compare it to something that would last a lifetime, with simmilar cost.

I am not trying to make this into a gun discussion.

[SirGuyO]

( I didn’t buy them, my NES/SNES/N64/DREAMCAST/PS2/XBOX, any of them. I got them all as gifts from my parents, did they buy them New at Release, NO I got them after they had a price reduction.) Infact I still have the box for the first NES that I ever got. Its from Gottschalks with 2 Remotes, and Mario Bro's 3, 89.99

Also I have gone through around 5 NES's, 2SNES, 3 N64's, 3PS2's [Under warranty] , Nice thing is when you have local garage sales, you can buy anything for a 5$ bill


(If you would have said Pet Rock, I would have laughed, Go ask your parents if they still have thiers, Now thats an investment! )



(Also Im sorry I dont make more than 15$ an hour, I decided to WORK instead of going to school, bad choice, but so be it.)
