    Oh Crap, the xbox 360 has "Artificial Intelligence", now I see why they're so cheap and Microsofts reason for making people want one.

    They're in a race with Sony to win the war on robots, ie. PS3 (iRobots) XBOX360 (Terminators), its all a big conspiracy, why do you reckon they both have 3 in their names, when the xbox is the second in the series, because its a trilogy, and trilogy's always end on the 3rd, the final stand, the race for rise of the machines.

    Remember Halo "3" is coming out another trilogy, another end.

    Little Britain Series 3 is the last of the series, which makes a trilogy, and for sure they will have a DVD box set, which in turn will be able to play on the xbox (see the connection), and so this trilogy is another end.

    When will we learn, when...

    maneesh i think iu might be a little bit confused, the xbox has got nothing to do with being a robot? Conspiracy? I dont really think so :confused:

  • Welshdan,
    I must admit that I am one of those people that is selling a 360 on Ebay. But its not to make a quick profit! There really isn't that much in it unless you have a premium pack. I have a core pack with FIFA 2006 and I don't think I will make a mint out of that! I will be lucky to make £50 profit with fees and charges and no-ones bid for it yet.
    I sell frequently on Ebay and I have made money and lost money, thats the way the game goes!

    Hmm, I just saw about 5 close for at least £370.00 on fleabay.

    All of which were core systems...some with no games.

    Not that I have a problem with people selling them on. Human nature if there are such good margins to be made. Especially at this time of year.

    I think you will be making a lot more than £50.00 though.

    If not, ill certainly buy one from you for £269.99 knowing full well that I can make another £100 on top of that on ebay!!

    ;)

    Totally agree with you.I qued up on Sunday morning from 8'o'clock at virgin which opened for browsing at 10:30 but couldn't sell till 11 am and sold me one of the premier packs that they had left from people who had pre-ordered and not collected.I was going to keep it but saw what they were fetching on ebay so tried my luck and got double what i paid for it.It was only a stop gap till the PS3 comes out anyway.If people want to pay more so they get one NOW it's their money who am i to object :)


    Just a quick BIG UP for Sony for making a console where you can play all the games that you spent a fortune on from the versions before on their new one
