Good lord...

So, whilst bored at work, I was looking over listings for the xbox 360... and I have say if anything could possibly restore my faith in humanity... it isn't this.

People are spending upwards of $2500 on a $300 basic system and maybe 100 dollars worth of extra crap. I guess people haven't read this. Apparently, the thing is buggy to boot

Yeah, people baffle me. Also remember most of these people buy the first run of most anything. This means they should know better ... Right? Apparently they do not learn their lessons very well.

Congrats on the perm status!! That rocks! Much better than working at WDS ;-)

Heh, one of my friends bought 8 of them at launch.
Dunno how much they Ebay'd them for yet though.

They could, honestly, get about 800-1000 for a basic core system mint-in-box.

The platinum's going for 2000+.

Sick.

I'm not much of an early adopter myself - I prefer to wait till they work out all the bugs.

I'm looking at maybe 6 months before I even consider a new console, and if I do, it will be the Revolution (which I will probably buy at launch because Nintendo tests the hell out of those things and makes sure they work!)

Like the Gamecube? lol...

Sorry, couldn't resist (that system had a few probs... and it still has a crappy controller... and I even like the GC).
