I understand because down here in bermuda the xbox is $499.00 and games are $79.00 I got my xbox from the U.S when the xbox came out november 15 and than bermuda did not even have an xbox on the island. Bermuda does this late it makes me so mad alos bermuda has not even started renting games yet I want to the store and asked them when are you going to start renting and they said by the end of february I was so mad.

Dude, DenniZz...let me put it this way: If the XBox costed $899.99 in American exchange and the games costed $80 each, I still would have bought it! Of course, I wouldn't own as many games as I do, but, I definately would have bought it! It's worth every penny, dude...Just make sure you pick up Halo!

I'm serious...Halo should be mandatory! There was a dude that came in the electronics store that I work at part-time that owned an XBox...and he only has two games. But, get this: this idiot hasn't even played it yet because he owns an old television so he finally figured out that he needed the RFU Adapter so he could play it! And, get this: he didn't even know about Halo! lol...man, this guy must have grown up in a cave near bin Laden :eek:

Anyway, I told him about Halo and that he needed the RFU adapter...or just a new TV!!! He ended up buying Halo and the RFU adapter... I can't wait until this idiot comes back in like the fat ass barney he was and says "whoa, man, that Halo game is really neat!" :rolleyes:

$899 friggin dollars for a game system. There's no way I'd ever pay that unless it could clean and wax my car then mow my lawn afterwards.

lol, GokuX... Funny thing is, I actually priced things out if you were to buy the parts individually that the XBox has and then build it yourself...and, it came to about $900 anyway :D

Hmmm...maybe at one time but not today:

$110 ECS P6S5AT motherboard with celeron 733 MHZ fcpga W/HEAT SINK AND FAN

$65 Western Digital 20.0GB EIDE 5400RPM, 2MB cache buffer, ATA 100

$188 GEFORCE3 TI200 (Ti/500)W/TV-OUT 128MB 5.0NS DDR(RETAIL)

$17 PC133, 64MB, 168pins DIMM NonECC SDRAM

$30 CASE WITH 300W ATX POWER SUPPLY

$15 3.5inch 1.44 Floppy Drive 1Yr Warranty

If the XBOX had been priced at $900 I would have just upgraded my PC instead.

To all my friends in england waiting on the xbox, its worth every penny. As far as the xbox price they are giving us a deal, microsoft is for the customer, and will continue to improve on its franchise with the xbox, and lord know they have the dough and staying power to do so.
