you know, they didnt tell me much, only that there would be enough for the first few hours after midnight on the first..
i can try to have it shipped directly there, but if not, ill have it shipped here and then out to your places... i would rather have it directly shipped there for fear that i open it up and take some games for a spin... _________________________________________________________ XCM Halo 2 blue case

Send am EMAIL to hobbs (if you haven't already) mentioning all this stuff.
I quickly told him on the phone, but he was in his car driving so he couldn't talk long.

Seriously- I got the core package(AV cables, wired cont., huge f-ing power brick), Hard Drive, Head set, A wireless cont., Perfect Dark Zero, Half life 2 (i know i know, its an xbox title), and Condemned.

Sh*t Hobbs! I thought this was all prearranged with another admin! I'm so sorry dude. I can't even afford to get one myself, let alone front money to get one. I feel pretty sh*tty about this. I had no idea that things didn't work out. As you know until this week, I'd been working 7 days a week just to meet my current bills. Perhaps if the admins try to pool some money? Let's put our heads together in the moderator section and see what we can do guys!
Look hobbs, some of us have tried to invest our time and money big time. Just because one fuknut blows it, don't toss all this away just yet!
I donated money to the site (no not real recently but hell gimme a break), I've bought shirts, participated in contests, worked on the site as best I can. You can't give up on us dude.
For me this is all minutes old so for me not to post because I can't immediately help would not be fair to either of us. But you aren't alone, we helped Modgod financially remember?
Christ Loki, can you enlarge that picture? I can't see the flaws on the individual DVD rings yet. _________________________________________________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th

Forahobby- first off, i respect you and im glad that you do alot for your site for us. Like i said before, i did research to find out which xbox site to join. the HQ was and is the best. I have one problem though...I personally take offense to your getting pissed off that no one will help pay for your 360. i myself cannot afford one for a long time. you shouldnt be pissed off that no one is helping you buy one. they pay to join your site. i got the hint that if no one helped you buy one, you'd basically just stop your efforts for this site. thats wrong, dude. i hope thats not the case. there are millions of people that dont have 360's. youre not the only one. yeah, being the head of this site, maybe you should have one, but its not the members faults that you dont. it sucks that people "backed out" of giving you $$$ for you 360, but dont you think they want one themselves??? they shouldnt have agreed to it if they werent gonna do it, but dont be pissed off at the entire member community. dont let this xbox360 BS ruin what you have going on, man. some people in the world dont have food to eat, let alone game systems. donations should go to people who dont have necessities. let me know if im way off on this. _________________________________________________________ www.myspace.com/keithreyn <---metal band rough demos

i know what your saying totally but i think your confused.. No one here is paying for my 360.. I would never ask such a thing.. I am paying for it using my own credit card.. When i quote on the homepage im talking about lining mine up for me and not paying for it.

I think i had better re-read my news story.. I dont want guys paying for my 360 at all.. I never have.. I never received anything from hq apart from a free tshirt from myself and a xbox jewl.. lol
I dont want to give up on the site and probably wont but as im sure you know after several blows it just gets me down and you would probably feel the same..
Personally i donated a few hundrew dollars to modgod when he was in need and also I ship anything i can for free to help to our members so its not that i dont think people can help
The main reason im so upset i think is because its the only real time in 3 years ive asked for something and nothings happened.. lol. I know guys tried but obviously i just dont realise how hard it is or something..
anyway, Ill just keep my chin up.. Im a man of my word and have promised to review some 360 games so ill just have to bit the bullet and pay $2k if need be..
cheers for a reply.. most guys are probably scared off this topic.. lol
Ive been out driving my car and i have no tires left now so im fine.. I must have left tread for about 1km.. _________________________________________________________ HQ Network:

Surely if it's a matter of lining up the purchase of a 360 someone here has the ability or connections to do that. I would have had to pre-purchase a long time ago. I have no connections except the standard Bestbuy like everyone else. The rub is, given this situation, hobbs would be hard pressed to send any $ to anyone before he gets the box for fear (and rightfully so) of the money leaving and the Xbox never arriving. That means we need to pool some $ and get one or someone that can front the money can even get the damn box in the first place. They are scarce now. I have no hope of fulfilling his request on my own currently. Surely one of our members has the way to help. It's a large community now and some one somewhere knows someone, somewhere that can snag what he's looking for. _________________________________________________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th
