When will you buy a 360?

[hezeuschrist]

unless i get a complimentary *service*, i wont buy any console for more than 200 dollars

As much as I want my Xbox 360 to give me head, or even a handjob, I don't see Microsoft adding that service anytime in the near future, regardless of price...

As soon as they are readily available.

It's been about 5 months since launch and I still have yet to see a 360 sitting on a store shelf.

Same here...

Waiting for a price drop... and games that justify the purchase. This year's gaming purchases are already pretty much set in stone for me between classic stuff, a few random ds/cube/ps2/xbox games I want to pick up, and come fall, the Revolution.

i wouldn't mind getting one when they have some decent games for it, Oblivion is the first but i need at least 5-6 before it warrants forking that kind of cash.

Not Interested.

I was actually totally caught up in the launch hype machine, and tried my best to actually get one. Sold out everywhere, and by the beginning of January my interest was completely dead. Paying more than retail on ebay or whatever never entered my head for a second, because convincing myself to buy a $400 video game system took a while to begin with. I realized I am more than happy with my retro stuff and PS2, which has hit it's late-life high in the last year and looks to continue it for quite a while (FF12+KH2 this year, along with Cave shooters, plus way more).

Now, over two months after my interest has died, 360's are *still* sold out at every local game and electronics store. So I might pick up a PS3 eventually, and maybe a Revolution if it actually pans out like the DS did, but the 360 has lost me as a customer. If Microsoft hadn't completely screwed up the lauch quantities, I'd probably have one right now.

I'm sure there will be a system shortage just as bad (probably worse) as the 360's whenever the PS3 comes out. There is simply no way that new consoles can be manufactured fast enough to meet demand. The same thing happened during the PS2 launch and it was *at least* 6 months until I saw any systems sitting on store shelves to buy. I see no reason why the 360 and PS3 is going to be any different.

I've accepted the fact that waiting months to buy ANY new system after it has been released is going to be a common thing with future launches, no matter who puts it out.

Already have one. Picked it up a month ago, GRAW is my latest addiction, I love it. This may just be the fan boy in me, but I think this is the must have console of this coming generation. The arcade, a feature that I thought I would barely use, gets some ample attention in the form of geometry wars. For all the nay sayers all I can say is try one, you might like it.

[SEGA-SAMMY]

After one or two price drops. And at least three games that I would consider the most owns are released.

You are correct, sadly. But I've already taken this into consideration for the PS3, which is probably going to cost $400+ anyway. I'm going to wait until Metal Gear Solid 4 or Final Fantasy 13 or a Super Robot Wars, or other MUST MUST MUST have game comes out (hopefully after the first price drop) to get into the PS3.

The 360's delay was more an instance of I was really hyped up about the system and wanted to buy it, but was completely unable, and now the interest just isn't there for whatever reason. So that's just how it ended up. :/

I normally take a BS retail job somewhere that will have the system in question and buy one when it comes in. Additionally, if you have friends that don't mind throwing out junk mail, you can setup a freepay.com account and have people sign up for junk mail to get you a 360. The owner of euroemu.net did that recently.

BUMP.. thats funny shit!

[cyberfluxor]

I'll hold out a bit and see what games end up comming out and price drops. I don't work at a full time job making large sums of money to go after buying expensive systems and games. I will decide on getting a 360, Rev, or PS3 around next summer if possible. Time will tell.

[djbeatmongrel]

really the option i wanted wasnt there but i chose price drop cause that is partly what i am waiting for. also i am waiting for the backwards compatibility to be greatly expanded since i currently dont own an xbox and i dont want to connect 2 more consoles

[KingCobra]

Not interested right now, dosen't have any software I perfer, plus it dosen't suport the Xbox games that I have for playback.

It sure looks cool though, love those controllers too. Nice hardware with a garbage software lineup.

This seems to be the new trend now IMO? What's up with that? I'll just wait to see whats comming down the pipeline :/

[Slate]

As soon as i am able to buy one, But i am Not buying a core. Premium only.

I already have 5 games selected to buy (That i know that i will play) Once i have a 360.
