| Post subject: | Xbox 360 question... |
Ok, so this past monday I bought a 360 elite at EB but didn't really cough up 60 bucks for a one year warranty..I'm just worried because I've heard of so many things going wrong with the system and I don't want to become the victim of it because its so damn expensive. So my question is, is it really as buggy as everyone says? |

I've had the standard version for well over a year now and I've had exactly zero problems. Besides, if it starts dying on you and you call Microsoft and/or EB Games and raise hell, one of them will either repair it or give you a new one. |

I was wondering ... You, regular american. Would you pay 15% of your salary in ONE XBOX360 GAME? |

huh? how much does a game cost there? in Portugal gamecube games went for 50-70€. complete fucking ripoff! i remember seeing wave race: blue storm (which came out in like 2002 or 2003) for 60 euros just the other day!! "platinum" games (or their equivalents) are cheaper, but not that much. |

Well I recently dished out $150 dollars for Guitar Hero II and two controllers. Definately worth it though. |

"platinum" games (or their equivalents) are cheaper, but not that much. It's not the absolute value I'm concerned here, it's the relative price compared to your country's normal average salary for a 30-year-old worker. XBOX 360 games here in Brazil cost about US$150. The thing is, the average salary here for a 30-year-old person should be like US$1500. Of course I'm ignoring people below the poverty line. Anyway, bottom line is : games here cost 10 to 15% of a person's salary. How the hell are we supposed to keep purchasing original games ?? Games here are not even overpriced, they are hyper-ultra-priced. I had to hack my drive and download games from the internet. |
