A MAN OF BETRAYED JUSTICE

History could be repeating itself in near-record time, as leaks from the retail sector have been making the rounds, stating that an Xbox 360 price drop is imminent. Over the weekend, a Modojo forum-goer posted a scan of what is apparently a Wal-Mart ad promoting a $349 Premium Xbox 360. The small scan doesn't clearly give details about any possible price drop for the Core or Elite models of Microsoft's system.
The Modojo scan was later backed up by a scan of a Toys "R" Us ad from the Cheap Ass Gamer forums. That ad shows the Premium Xbox 360 selling for $349.99, but likewise gives no such indication about a drop for the Core or Elite systems.

Me thinks XBox has noticed the sharp increase of PS3 being sold thanks to their price drop. With all the new games coming out this fall it is smart to get as many consoles out in the market.

Ok it's official. I got the x box 360 earlier today and just got done playing with it. Pretty cool, don't know if there is that much difference from the PS2 but I'm sure I'll see more things as time goes on.


Nice work. You'll learn to love it. How does the warranty work for a refurb?

that's a question I need to look into because they make it look new as far as including it with the instruction manual/warranty info. in plastic that hasn't been open. I need to check it out cause the back end of the damn machine is getting really warm. It's a pretty cool game system I just gotta get some sort of memory for it....I don't have any now/couldn't afford it at this time. As far as warranty from the store I bought it at they said it is 30 days. I could of done one with the store for a year for an extra 30 bucks but I just didn't have enough of the green stuff. :wink: The biggest thing is the damn controller. I'm just no good at playing because I keep playing it as if it were a PS2. Just gonna take some time to get use to the new controls.

1. It takes a little bit of time to get used to from PS2, the 360 was a change for me
2. THey do get warm in the back. If you can find a minifan or something of that nature and put it behind it to get cool air moving
3. You didn't get a HD with the 360?

Nope didn't come with a hard drive it was a refurbished one and it is the core model. Still I got it for only $189.
Also the weird thing is that the game play seems a little slow to me but maybe that is just me.

That's on the programmers more than the console. They sacrificed speed for looks, from what I've seen from EA Sports. Other games play faster.

Cool thanks for the info. I was starting to wonder if it was just because I bought a refurbished unit and maybe it was on it's last leg. That's a hell of a relief, thanks. :wink:
