i've pre-ordered my xbox 360 for $20 down and i'm transferring the paypal i got from mp3players4free.com (only $120 left from it) and using that towards it. you might want to pre-order REALLY soon, though... EB Games, the entire company itself, is getting 30,000 launch day... and there are 20,000 stores in the country... each store gets 15 xbox 360s... and the store i go to is pretty slow... the pre-ordering started yesterday at noon and they were sold out by 7 PM

no, but EB's computers always have new consoles set at $500...
most sources and people in the industry claim sub-$300

no... i think they'll change their tune considering there are [b6d48c1b60b]three 3.4 GHz processors AND water cooling[/b6d48c1b60b]

Thats a lie. If they want people to buy them they'll up the number.. And I HIGHLY doubt there are 20,000 EBs in the US.
Either you made those numbers up yourself or some store clerk swindled you into pre-ordering a box.

It doesn't have three processors, it has a single multi-core processor. Why is this so confusing?
The hell I would pay $500, that could go towards PC parts or better yet, another computer.

Three symmetrical cores running at 3.2 GHz each

And its not really watercooling.. Its just a heatpipe.. Watch the OurColony video again. You can clearly see him point to a heatpipe.
As awesome as watercooling is, it requires keeping up with and I dont think some random lard ass who bought it just to skip school and play it is going to want to have to work on his watercooling setup on his Xbox.

Yeah thehunter is full of shit.
Bogus numbers, said it cost $20 when it really cost $50.

Yeah forgot to mention that too. Luckily I had the money on me.

Awesome Paradizzle. Will you get that money back when it comes out or does it just go toward the Xbox 360?

wow microchris, you're a fucking retard... congratulations
the pre-order fee varies from store to store due to there not being a set price for the console, my store set it for $20.
there are at least 20,000 US store (maybe a few more or less), STFU
EB the company itself is only getting 30,000 from microsoft cause that's all the stock they are giving them. EB only got sub-100,000 PSPs from Sony on launch day while walmart got 1/2 million of them due to popularity of walmart VS video game specialty stores.
Paradizzle depending on the popularity of the store you pre-ordered, their home office might send more to them and less to a slower store so they sell as many as they can launch day, i (and the manager of my EB) just averaged in 15 from 30,000 xboxes to 20,000 stores.
in conclusion, microchris likes to have sex with men. also, he was traded by his birth mother to his current parents for a Pinto and a bucket of fried chicken

Your right...they only tell those certer [i1c172c033b]special[/i1c172c033b] stores you goto about that. I asked my manager and he said they can sell as many as they want. So if they sold 30,000 I guess they would all be going to my store.

lol, You must me what, 12? Did you bring your mommy with you to preorder your new concole?
The only reason I said you were full of shit is because there are probably more WalliMarts in the US then EB Games, and there are only over 3,000 Walmarts in this country. There's no way in fucking hell theres 20,000 EB Games in this country.I doubt theres even 20,000 Exxon Gas Stations here.
Get your numbers straight, get some proof, and lose the 12 year old insults and maybe some people will believe you.

15-05-2005 20:14:40
well... my numbers on the sotres have been corrected... manager told me 20,000 stores... maybe he said the wrong number... and their store is only taking 15 (i'm #8), apparently not all EBs, like i said they're a slow store.
the other stuff i said, though... you cannot contradict that. if i must i'll post my reciept for "proof"
BTW, the whole 12 year old thing and paradizzle congratulating himself on using a scanner is really retarded
MicroChris
15-05-2005 21:13:59
No i believe you may or may not have preordered an Xbox 360. I don't care really. By the end of this year most of us will be playing one also.
I just thought your 20,000 figure was hilarious.
