360-first thoughts

AND CoD2. Which is a port better on the PC a month or two ago. But it's a GREAT game.

Almost forgot,

One of the XBox 360's contollers were broken..
so I pointed it out and said
"You know it's microsoft when..."

-come on, the store is open like 12 hours a day, and the XBOX 360 has been out for like 2 weeks, and it's ALREADY busted.


BTW:
Mormon, did u notice UPN50 is giving away XBOXes?
yeah, isn't that a prise :S

Yep, ive been doing it for 3 years and its a paper for one of the boroughs in london, its a branch of The Guardian, a national paper over here.
Waiting on word from my editor as weather i can sell it or not, im thinking i'll have to keep it 'cos they wont splash out on a new system everytime they need a 360 game reviewed.

lol yea, if u got it from the company i have a huge doubt they would let u sell it so u could get sum extra ca$h

Right now, even if you want a 360, it would make more sense to sell it. The games right now aren't anything special, so it makes sense to profit off the shortage and hype. Get $1000 on ebay now and buy yours next year sometime when you can easily get one for $400. That's some killer profit right there...

[Frisky_Biscuits]

that is exactly wat my stepdad wanted to do

Nah man, the ebay price has gone down... You can still make a decent profit, but not a major one like you could. You know that ebay has now sold $32 MILLION dollars in 360s? Insanity.

That's amazing. YOu can still get a decent enough profit for a new machine, around £100 here in the GB, which is like $150. Not bad!

Right, today i sold my 360, for a nice price of £560.
The system wasnt doing anything at all for me, the games coming out were nothing special at all to be honest, i mean gears of war is the only decent looking exclusive minus elder scrolls.
I just thought to my self, my editor wont be going round to my house exatly to check up will he? So when i get a review copy, i'll go round to either my uncles, cousins or friends who all have the system, to review it there.
This morning i bought kameo to throw in to the guy i was selling it to. So i went to GAME, the 360 rack, all the games were on the shelf, all stacked to the brim, then i picked up kameo and all these kids were looking at me, and i jus said "360s bu!!ocks kids". The store manager agreed with me and he said hes waiting for PS3 and Revo, same as im doing.
So in the end i made £510 profit, and i went home with a smile on my face.

the other day when i was working, this guy was bringin back his 360 cause he couldnt afford it and ended up selling it out front for $500.
