Because I was just lurking for a few days to try and get a feel for the board before jumping into any discussion.

OK, this is great news. Are you going to be the person who we can voice our concerns to? If so, prepare to be very busy, this board is the most active one in the freelililili scene. Welcome )

well, to me atleast, it seems pretty obvious what the site is going to be......

They don't know the price. Setting ref requirements too low could kill their profits, while setting them too high would anger people doing the site. I may just buy mine, because I am DONE with free stuff!

kaymin

17-05-2005 15:01:59

i am done with free stuff also after receiving my ipod today but the price point for the next gen consoles is just too high and keeps me waiting for a free 360 site and ps3 and the new nintendo system actually looks good!

Nothing is confirmed....YET! There appears to be 2 different packages coming out...one with the system and 1 control, and a bundle with 2 controls and the remote. Prices are said to be $300 and $375 respectively....knowing gratis does put the higher end out, I would guess the bundle at 8 refs.

kaymin

17-05-2005 15:07:37

hmm only a few days, hopefully gratis can get it right this time and not screw up like with the psps!

yeah, supply demand....it happens....I mean, 1 extra month won't kill....hope I do get it before christmas tho so I can ebay it for 2 arms and a leg

17-05-2005 15:10:51

i doubt it is xbox360 or ps3 since they dont know prices yet. or the exact release date. like posted above high referals would anger people. and too low referals would make it so they would lose too much money.

kaymin

17-05-2005 15:11:36

dam you have a point i don't know if i'll be able to make myself sell mine if I did get it before christmas, dam I think i'm going to have to preorder one either way!

I know for a fact its xbox 360 becuase it says ourcolony dot net which is a xbox 360 ad company. Not to mention the green ring of light

Iloveipods2

17-05-2005 15:23:34

yea Our colony and gamem9ker are part of the Xbox360 thing, don't know what they do, but are part of it. soo i'm guessing xbox 360 though it's too early to tell wink

kaymin

17-05-2005 15:25:56

this is all suppposed to be mysterious just like ourcolony.net was but this part makes me excited

"?NEW... PUSH @ 17 05 05... TRANSMISSION ENDS" could that mean its being released today?

mrwzk

17-05-2005 15:36:14

i remember on oncolony.net you had to type in play in the little box than click the ant to get in but i dont see the ltitle box anymore

Exactly, until you have proven it to the mods you shouldn't go around posting that your a Gratis rep.

i wonder when oc is gonna launch their sites? they own both xbox360s4free.com and xbox3604free.com

Matt8789

17-05-2005 18:55:09

Are they just gonna be pre-ordered or something?

kaymin

17-05-2005 18:56:31

probably ebgames is already taking preorders!

[quotea7d1e988b3="kaymin"]probably ebgames is already taking preorders![/quotea7d1e988b3]

Yeah but the last X-box made smaller controllers after people not liking the big ones. The new PSPs had dead pixels that still need to be fixed when they came out (?) I'll wait til they get some of the kinks out, if need be, and i'll do the site. But i want an OC one.. (

kaymin

17-05-2005 20:33:17

my crazy but possible theory Gratis says push @ 18.05.05 on ourcolony.net becuase they teamed up with the company to advertise xbox 360 and Gratis. Which would mean push the button on ourcolony.net sometime soon and that would also explain how Gratis could start a site since they might have a Microsoft connection that would get them the final price. This is the only way i can think of them already having a site up within a few days and having it do anything with ourcolony.net! I hope its true becuase we would probably actually get our xboxs on time! Gratis special edition 360s would be awesome lol! Be soo cool if it said free xbox 360 on my xbox 360

At least, here we get to see what the public thinks and even begin to address serious issues that you guys have.

Thanks Jake. Just a quick question, please don't take this as derogatory (sp?). I was curious about shipping. I was one of the "disgruntled" customers last time who was angry when my PSP didn't ship until a month after release. Are you [ubcb203d1f7]really[/ubcb203d1f7] preordering this time or claming you did like last time? Good luck to everyone and thanks for the "personalized" answers.
