maybe some answers to the questions
The difference between the two Xbox systems is the Premium system comes with a wireless controller, a headset for Live play and a hard drive. The Core, or less expensive version does not have the hard drive or the head set and comes with a wired controller. If you total the retail price of a hard drive, wireless controller and the head set, your talking in the neighborhood of $150 to $170. So the Premium system is the better route if your looking for the options it gives you.
The big deal here is the hard drive. W/o it you cannot save your progress, or most importantly, play the old Xbox games from the earlier console.
I was one of those who waited in line at Target. I got there at 3 a.m. I was told by an employee that they had 50 of the Premium and 32 of the lesser consoles. However, at 7:00 when they handed out the tickets, they had 16 of each system. I was number 32 in line.
I really wanted a Premium system, so it looks like I'll sell the Core system on ebay for double what I paid for it and wait for the Premium system to hit the shelves after Christmas.
Sitting in line through all the weather was all about the game. You play the game to win and camping out for four or five hours was all about the "winning" of getting a console. Honestly, I don't see the difference between what I did Tuesday morning and what I and thousands of others will be doing later this week when deer season opens. We'll all getting up before dawn and brave the weather, and for what to bag a deer. Some would call that crazy....

It's a bargain compared to what they are selling for on ebay....

I will be curious to see if anyone in line gets one. I know somebody who, after missing out on the initial Thanksgiving sale, signed up on a list at Best Buy for the next time the games were available, effectively putting him ahead of anyone in line who was not on that list. So either he's going to be really upset if he was lied to, or everyone in line who didn't previously sign up will be upset.
I don't understand camping out overnight for something like this mostly because of all the bugs that usually come with the first editions of these games. Many of the games sold at Thanksgiving continually crashed...Microsoft was even sued to have them replaced or recalled. Maybe by now those problems have been worked out.

There was a line last night when I got out of work at Old Navy. There were about 30 people or so.

I'm soooo glad my son didn't want one of these things for Christmas! But if he did, I'd probably be one of the crazies in line to get one......The things we do for our children. Its a shame the company takes advantage of people by selling these for such a high price. This time next year they'll be half the price because something new is coming out.
Well, good luck to anyone who is trying to get one...

If my son wanted one of these for Christmas I would have told him he was going to wait until Jan or Feb for it. I won't stay in a line all night and freeze my azz off for something you'll be able to get next month in abundance. Especially when the first bunch that came out have problems with them.stargazer0791 said:
Great site if your looking to nab one without waiting in line. I got one from Gamestop.com last week. Being delivered this Tuesday. Good Luck

I would not plan on these being discounted until the PS3 comes out in 2006 and then maybe only $50-$75

LCD's are awesome. Not as expensive as a plasma, I hear the plasma has a better picture, but needs to be recharged after like 2,000 hours of use. The LCD has a bulb or multiple bulbs from what i'm told. Go to funco land or wall mart and check out the 360 dispaly, they usually use LCD tvs.Vince said:
Yes the premium system comes with HD cables that have a switch. The switch allows you to hook it up too an HD or non HD TV. HD uses more plugs switch is just a diverter. The games are read and sent in HD, but for some reason it seems DVDs are not. I mean they still look great. I think in the future there are going to be DVDs formated for HD and you will need a new HD DVD player to read these new disks.Nitro said:
