I'd rather smack the morons that actually pay more than 300/400 for the system.

Why are you pissed? Because these people are being entrepreneurs and are making money? The ONLY reason they are selling them for that much, is because people are willing to pay that much.

Supply and demand. The demand outweighs the supply in this case, so prices go up.

Why get upset over this? sure they're jerks, but that is what ebay's about...

Just wait till after the holidays, and pay the regular price; no console, no matter how ubber cool it is at the moment is not worth that jacked up price....I've heard from other forums that people have been complaining of the console freezing, etc...

Speaking of system freezing, when I was playing one @ a local Wal-Mart, the system shutdown and wouldn't turn back on.

Yeah I seriously don't get why it is such a big deal. I waited outside in the rain overnight for 10 hours because I wanted one really bad. After playing it I am pretty damn disappointed with the product I got. Now I'm considering selling it on ebay. Why would I return it to Circuit City when I could get twice the amount I payed for it and buy it back when some good games come out?

Don't give me that lame excuse that some parent could buy it at a fair price or a gamer that actually wanted it. If they wanted it nearly as much as I did for themselves or as a gift for their kids then they would have been waiting with me in the freezing cold at 2AM like the other 3 parents and 10 gamers. I saw so many people show up 2 hours before the store opened and complained the whole time.

The only people actually paying a grand for an XBOX 360 are rich people who have to much money and are to damn lazy to shop for it themselves

I should have listened to most the people who post on this forum when they said there are no good games available. I thought everyone was just being cynical bastards.

You should be more pissed at the jerks who bought a XBox and smashed it infront of everyone with a sledgehammer. That $450 could have gone to any charity in this world or made and kid's christmas. That kind of behavior you only see in America and it makes me sick that it's representative of my country.

JuddWack you have to be patient, the system is new to developers, etc.

If you seriously want to sell it, if it's the Premium system i'll buy it for the $399 + shipping, as long as you pack it exactly how it was when you removed it from the box, etc. :) :P

I think someone is mad becuase they didn't get one.

BTW, I haven't looked, but unless every single auction is BIN with prices sky high, it's the idiots who bidded that high.

Xylene, to be honest I had no idea it would even be released this year, I thought MS would at least wait until 2006 to release it close to Sony's offering.

I've been out of the loop. :?

I am patient. I really thought one good game could hold me over until more start being released, but Call of Duty blows. It is such a disappointment. It doesn't look that much better than a XBox game and plays just the same. The enemies are dumb as hell.

Sorry there is no way I'm selling it for the price I paid. I'd return it for that price, but not sell it when it is clearly worth more at the moment.

EDIT> I just found out that there's more demos for download besides NBA Live which was a let down. So maybe one of them will sway me.

Considering that many retailers will be getting more next week, and the week after next, the prices people are paying now is retarded... bottom line is, there IS no shortage.

Thanks for being a wanker who thinks he deserves more than the console is worth. As Toastman said, people with that kind of logic are scum. :evil:

Remind me to never invest in any business this guy starts, since making a profit doesn't seem to be his forte.

Just so you know, making a profit off of something you buy at retail cost, and turn around and jackup the price is illegal.

Please provide some sort of proof becuase I've never heard that. If that was the case most of the people who sell things online at would be in jail or fined.

Erm, no it isnt.

If that were true, pretty much every rare item on ebay would be an illegal sale. You wouldnt be able to sell any videogame over the retail price would you?

I honestly don't see what the problem is. If people are willing to pay those prices only a fool would refuse to charge them. The only purpose for idiots to exist is so more intelligent people can exploit them, and this is exactly what is happening here, and I think it is fantastic.
