Here it is Thursday, November 24th, Happy Thanksgiving, and the news is showing 3 top stoties. Hurricane Katrina Victims, War on Iraq, and XBox 360.
Go to Ebay and theres are bids ranging from $0.01-$750K. But if you look for a core system there in $5k range.
Dejavu, Does anyone Remeber the "Tickle Me Elmo" doll? People paid between $500-$2000 for one. In one instance a father was shot over a $400 deal that went wrong. To make matters worse the TME was taking as evidence so his child never even recieved it. Then to add insult to injuries the TME phased out with in a few months.
I know you cant compare TME to 360, but I thinks its ridiculous to pay 10x+ the value for something that will be around til appx 2010 when the "next" Next Generation of game systems will be out? As for me, I have 12-24 months til it drops in price before I buy one.
