Merrill-Lynch report on Xbox 360

Ive pondered over items such as these and have decided to put off my purchase until they come down a bit in price.

Probably when they release the next HALO chapter is when I'll actually pick one up. I just cant justify dumping $500-$600 between all the accessories and games along with the console itself, for something I would probably not play very much initially due to the lack of titles.

I didnt buy my Xbox until HALO2 was released, and it was <$200 by that time and the game selection was massive.

If I could sell my current Xbox and accessories for $200-$250, I'd consider it.

Anyone interested? :imagestor

 

The one downside to waiting is that the bare-bones X-box package is likely to come down in price more than the larger bundle, and that's the one you're going to want anyway. Honestly the current $400 bundle is well worth the price considering everything you're getting, and I hope to purchase one by Christmas if I have the money and can actually find one for sale.

 

I actually wouldn't be shocked to see the bare bones package disappear once price comes down, or only be $250 to the HD package's $300.

 

you could probably get that off ebay, maybe..depends on what you have.

 

tried to get one off circuit city for 2 hrs today. no dice

 

dvd capacity is VERY important when people had hd televisions. standard dvd is fine for ntsc, but 720p at 24fps is more than twice as much data. and if you go with a larger format like 1080i (or even 1080p) that's even more.

edit: guess i should have read the whole thread before responding...

 

the box, controller, bigger Logitech controller, Monster green HD cable, Monster optical audio cable, and HALO2. Oh and the live headset thingy.

 

they've still got the package with three games at $579 i think. i've got to figure out what i'm going to do. i may still try and pick one up on tuesday.

 

check that, they're all sold out.
