When the XBox came out I got it for $230.00 with 3 games

That is simply impossible. The Xbox came out at $300, and the games were all $50 each. You did not get it for $230 when it came out, and you couldn't even get that for $230 today, unless all 3 games were Platinum Hits.

Well I hate to tell you but a friend just bought a plain Xbox for $ 159.00 at Walmart. I didn't say I bought mine on day one that the XBox was released, and it came with crap games like motoross, some car driving game.

Inept analogy for the following reasons:

|free XBL trial.

|it includes 4 games not 3.

|2! Wireless controllers.

|play and charge+extra battery pack.

|Vastly supirior(sp?) gaming console with cutting edge tech.

|20GB instead of an 8GB harddrive.

|Media remote.

|Headset.

|Highdef cables.

|ethernet cable.

|3x230=roughly 800

|4 games+extra controller+play and charge+battery pack+premium console=$800. Your getting a deal here and you don't even see it.

In conclusion, shut up.

I would eat your brain, but clearly someone has beaten me to it. :)

And damn you guys, how come you guys get games for 60? Is it just exchange rates or is there something dodgy in Australia, as ours are 90

Is there an email address or something where I can ask whether or not we need Media Center Edition to stream video? As I can't help but feel that we're getting screwed over if it supports Photos/Music but Video requires Media Center (I can understanding for wanting to stream live tv, but just plain old videos should be the same as the other 2 formats?). And perhaps ask them what formats as well..(I seem to remember reading WMV9, but can't find it anymore..)

Driving me nutts. :(

As someone else said, it would be near impossible to go through the 40 some odd pages posted in here, but the question I have is a simple one.

In the US, I know the whole deal with the pre-orders, but I am wondering if there are any retail outlets that are not taking pre-orders and just selling them to people the day (or night) of the launch. If so, what are the places that will just be selling them?

TIA, DL.

Why? Some people have read over a 180 Page before on some forums (Djipi's Cel-Zelda Thread over at EmuTalk if you must know).

40 pages is nothing.

First off, correct me if I am wrong, but was I asking for your opinion on wether or not I have time to read 40 pages?

Second off here is why... Because I work a full time job, which I happen to have posted my question from work as well, so NO. Sorry, I do not have the time to read 40 pages, never-mind 180 pages, especially when my question can simply be answered by another COOL member.

You my friend are missing the main point of Neowin, at least the way I have always seen it and why I started posting here to begin with, and that is people help each other and CAN ask questions. Luckily there are still some members willing to HELP people when they ask a simple question.

So congratulations on reading some 180 page thread related to Zelda im some way. I am glad you have that time to waste in your life. I do not, I am making a living, so if someone is kind enough to answer my question, than so be it. If not, life goes on.

I know of one place so far, but probably all retail outlets like them.

Walmart

I would think Target, Kmart, and the like will be the same way, but maybe not the 12am deal.

And where does it say that it comes with three games?  I know how much an Xbox costs today, and I know how much it costed when it came out.

If you reread everything I said I got mine for $230 with games and that my friend just bought one for $150. And it was said that you "cant get one today for that amount."

Does anyone know is the 360 gives off a lot of fan noise/disc noise? I want to know, 'cause I need to decide if I'm going to use it for DVDs like I used my slim PS2. Can't be doing with a loud DVD player.

I'm being serious here, is it that big of a deal? Do you watch your movies on extremely low volume or something?
