It seems like there are literally thousands of xbox 360's on Ebay. It seems like some dealers are taking advantage of Ebay instead of selling them at suggested retail price. Seems like a waste of the allocation and misjudgment on Microsoft allowing dealers/distributors to do this. _________________________________________________________ 10% VIP Discount (Coupon Code: HQ-VIP-001 ) - Signup for web hosting at www.TweakedHosting.com/clients/aff.php?aff=004 and earn the HQ network of sites recurring income!

Yeah I was referring to he consoles.
At least when I looked there was up to 10000 xbox 360's new with over inflated prices from companies not just individuals.
Maybe I didn't see it right... could be.
Oh and I am writing back to you forahobby now. Sorry but I wrote up a huge 4000 word response and by the time I when to post the ticket response the session expired and guess what I forgot to copy it after I proof read... 'click' and gone for good. I was so angry after spending over 2 hours on it that I stormed out the door and just worked on our new web hosting system all day. I hate when that happens but I'm dumb like that sometimes. Cheers off to answer you again now. Cheers!
PS it will be the short version.... Oh and I'm cracking open a beer to sip. Yum Yum, October Fest!

Yeah it pretty ridiculous, selling for £400+ and that's only a preorder so its not even 100% guaranteed.
In two minds whether or not to play for a week and cash in with the Christmas rush.
Thanks

So $400 UK is like $600 US right? and that was probably a Core unit.

I don't agree with the "Not for resale" But I do agree that we should have some kind of a price markup limit. Remember that Armageddon knockoff movie? What was it... Damnit... It had Morgan Freeman... Oh yeah, Deep Impact. He Froze prices when he announced we were all going to die... Yeah, Bill Gates, he's like god in some ways, He controls everything we do, he has his hands on everything in the world... Why not? Right? Have him freeze Xbox Prices, no gouging.
The main reason I don't agree with the "Not for resale" is because I plan to buy a retail Premium system when they get restocked. That sucker will never be opened, never be modded. But then, i plan on buying a Core system from a Pawn shop later down the road. Two reasons, it's cheaper, and I don't have t worry about all those other periphials, the ones I have now will work. _________________________________________________________ "That which does not kill you, only makes you stronger."
