Hi members,
Well you would have thought between all the work i do for you guys here that someone could hook me up with a 360 (and i dont mean for free.. I mean just to get one that i pay for). Well think again.. heheh lol Typical.
Anyway, after saving saving and asking some members to hook me up ive been shot down in flmed. I had 2 members looking to hook me up but unfortunately neither of them could pull through.. Well SJOHN did but he has put the 360 on ebay instead.. (dam it) God dam ebay.. I cant believe that. I would have paid the extra like i said.. Thanks to the guys for trying anyway.. I totally appreciate it..
SO, i am only going to ask this ONCE. Can you hook me up.. I need a premium 360 now. Come on dudes.. I stay up all night coding and organising this place and i cant even get help myself.. Someone needs to step up and quick. anyway, dont reply unless you can help.
waiting for replies.
A unhappy and fucking disappointed forahobby.
WHAT A JOKE!

Tough luck mate, it's not gonna be easy for us to get one this early, especially with Christmas coming up.
Our best bet would be to wait until January or so (after Xmas rush).
I could have got a CORE package but I need the premium aswell...

if i have to wait much longer.. I wont be getting one at all..
Ill just purchase a PS3.. lol
That will piss you all off. heheh Then you may understand where im coming from.. Put it this was DJB.
If i dont get a 360 and cant review some games like i have committed myself to.. The website will lose is advertisers and all membership fees will have to go up to pay for hosting.
I will NOT be paying for anymore hosting myself as i get nothing from the site.

Well, IF anyone is sitting on a 2 spare premium 360s, WE NEED THEM!!
Just remember the 360 doesn't get released in Australia until March 2006, and if we can't get the boxes soon I hate to think what's gonna happen to the site.
Hobbs is extremely pissed off about this (which is understandble) and is worried coz he really needs one in the next 2 months.

Another thing to piss me off even more.
I have $2000 USDollars worth of XBOXHQ tshirts missing.
We got about 40 tshirts (which i paid) shipped toadmins and thats about it.
Rest is gone.. No reply from VEGAS who has disappered either.. So in other words.. Im outta pocket another $2k for trying to make some tshirts and i cant get hooked up.. lol (i shouldnt laugh really.. im not impressed)
Im seriously reviewing what i do around here.. I do nothing but help everyone but it costs me money.. weird that.. Im not exactly rich DJB as you know but hell.. Whats up with everything lately with me..

i think i had just better rollover and die..
Yes I know, and when you ever do come across some money it's always paid out to someone or something (like countless times you've had to pay for going over our monthly limit on the site).
The T-Shirts have been nothing but a nightmare honestly, great idea to start with and everyone seemed keen, but when it came to the crunch hardly anyone was buying them, and to make things worse there's been fuckups with shipping / deliveries.
I can vouch personally for how much money, time, and effort poor old hobbs puts in (especially times when I've went to visit and it looks like he hasn't slept for days), just as he could vouch for all the time and effort I put into my installers.
At this moment it doesn't look good for either 2 of us, nor our sites.

hey, first post on the 360 site (i think) but anyway,
if you are looking to get one for free, i dont really know how i can help, BUT, being a prefered customer thru a certain computer store (which will remain unknown for everyone else here for now) i am able to order one on the first of december, and recieve it before dec 25. what is included is the premium 360, three games (madden 06, i think pgr3, and kameo), an extra wireless controller, and a year of xbox live gold. the going price is set at 680 plus shiping and tax. if you are interested, i can FOR SURE get you one. let me know, same for DJB. i wont be ordering one myself for a while, so the two per customer limit could be you too, and i wouldnt be putting it on ebay and pissing you off further...
let me know, i hope you can work SOMETHING out with someone... _________________________________________________________ XCM Halo 2 blue case

Yes I could be very interested in this. I just told hobbs about it and I'd say he'll get in touch with you soon.
With shipping would it be easier to combine both and ship it to one location or the other way around?
