A ploy to drive prices/demand up right around Christmas? Rotten bastages.

lol no surprise... so what's this I hear about them being only backwards compatible for a few titles and only on the upgraded model? Sounds like their shooting themselves in the foot if that's true. As the PS3 I believe will be fully backwards compatible to PS1.

They did the exact same thing with the PS2 when it was initially released. I ordered it like 6-8 months before it came out paid 20 bucks less then, than they wanted for it upon release. And to top it all off, the demand was so high, that a week before christmas, some Colonel offered me $500 bucks cash for is USED! They were going for over $800 new on ebay. I hapily sold it. I didn't need it that bad anyway. Turned out the first batch had some issues anyway................

The backwards compatability issue is from failed negotiations between Microsoft, Nvidia and ATI. The drivers are only going to be made available for the biggest selling original xbox games, not all of them.

As far as driving up demand, they really are not trying to artificially inflate any prices according to the man in charge of the 360 development program.

That being so stated, back to the original question: What is one worth to you? I know a few people ...

I'll most likely wait until after the holidays to get one... I'm not in such a rush to buy it that I'll pay more than its retail price from scalpers. I'm sorry, but the people that do that just so they don't disappoint their spoiled little brat on Christmas make me sick. I hope that there's some CD driver problem that makes the first batch junk, so I can laugh at the people who end up paying $1000 or more on eBay for something that retails for $400.

Then when I pay retail or maybe a little less at Wal-Mart in the late winter and early spring, I can laugh at them again.

Besides, I'd rather buy a nitrous kit than a 360.

lol Jayson, Im the spoiled Brat! Im buying it for myself. I like the progressive dvd output as well.
If I cant get one for a reasonable price, I will wait till march...

I totally agree with you Jason. I didn't even buy my xbox until 2 price cuts had passed.
