Got mine at Midnight on monday/tuesday at Future Shop south. Had it on pre-order for about a month. So far I'm really enjoying it. The NBA Live '06 is freaking amazing.

Still cheaper than a serious computer gaming machine.

I dunno if I'll buy one, although I'll definitely be waiting. If you pay more than 10 per cent over retail for one of these, then you sir are an asshat.:thumbup:

Tell that to these people.

Haha, selling is one thing, but buying is completely different.

It's not like there really is a shortage, there have been well over 100,000 advertised on ebay for sale.

Already problems reported on the units.. Something having to do with crashing I believe? :)

Yup... well it is a microsoft product after all. :p

For me the expensive thing wouldn't be the XBOX, it'd be the $3k TV I'd want to go with it, and the Shaw PVR and DVD upconversion player to go with that. Yikes.

You mean, the new Xbox is going to the blue screen of death? :lol:

*time lapse*
Holy shit! I was trying to find an image of the blue screen of death, and found out the xbox 360 really is giving out the screen of death. That's hilarious.

I remember playing that way back on the original nintendo or super nintendo.

fun game :)

I wonder what microsoft will do about the crashing....

Malaria
same thing they do for every product they release

"public statment: microsoft denys that the xbox 360 could produce any error of any sort, the xbox 360 is based on state-of-the-art technology and is incapable of a mistake."

"public statment 2: microsoft has just announced a patch for the xbox 360. This patch fixes known security issues and other things. Thank you for supporting microsoft products."

Hi oldraven,

I have done some searching and found it to be true too.

I have enclosed some links for other shots of the "blue screen of death". One while playing a game.

Why..... Well I have nothing better to do right now. :lol:

Suddenly, $500 seems a little pricy for one of these, nevermind the crazy profit people are planning to make on them.
