I saw the same thing with the XBox1. The guy sold just the box for about $400 or so. There were like 30 bids too. I remembering checking the names to see if the same name was just trying to bring the bid up, and it was actually a bunch of different people. The guy was selling it "for collectors"...

True, there can be unforeseen problems. Has there been any? All of the posts about CPU or GPU or HD problems is speculation. Has anyone got a defective unit? I don't know. And I am not saying MS is perfect, remember Windows ME. I am just saying that Microsoft is a big company that knows what...

Microsoft is one the largest, most successful businesses in America. I think they know what they are doing. I think they shipped exactly how many they meant to ship, are producing as many as they wanted to, and are deliverying them exactly how they mean to. They are not dumb, though many think...

True. And not to say that either of those arn't good. Compared to most other console launch titles, where they was really nothing spectacular, I am sure those games do stand out. I think most people will tell you that Halo was the Killer App (but was it a launch title?) I am thinking the game I...

When the XBox1 came out, I looked on ebay too, to see how many were selling and for how much. The X1 originally sold for $299, most of the bids I had seen were up to 7 or 8 hundred. The funniest thing I saw was someone selling the XBox box, just the cardboard box it came in. He was very specific...

Our sources at Microsoft, if I understand from the eavesdropping on the conversations i have heard from the top guys here at game almanac, is that Microsoft has no firm ship dates for retail outlets. They are all to be determined. EB Games told me the other day that people could pre order for...

Well yeah, there are a few exclusive launch titles. But I really have a feeling that some of these were original started on the X1, and then decided to move them over to the 360 for launch. So they really didnt get the full 360 power they could have gotten. I think it will take some time before...

Ok, lets hear it. Only from the people who actually have a 360. What games did you get and what are the best ones? -#1Gamer GameAlmanac.com

HAHA. Or something that lasts a little longer. Although I guess with new systems coming out every few years, its not a big deal. My PS2 stopped reading disk when it stood vertical after only a year, so I had to buy a new shelf, after the custom one I built for the vertical unit no longer worked...

Oh, and one other things about old game units compared to new game units. My NES still works, my XBox doesnt anymore. Granted with the NES you have to blow into the cartridge and push it in a few times. But it works. All I get from my XBox is: Unable to Read Disk. -#1Gamer

The old game units were always sold as "bundles" with at least one game and usually 2 controllers. It has only been with the PS1 and up that consoles have been pretty much only available with zero games and only one controller included as a standard package. I remember when i first got a NES...

MGS3 was not at all a perfect game, thats why they are coming out with Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence which will supposable correct many of the mistakes the first version had. Besides, the perfect game is in the eyes of the player. Believe it or not, there are some gamers that didn't like Halo.

There have been times i wanted to do that to my Xbox. But I don't think i would pay someone to do it. -#1Gamer a proud employee of GameAlmanac.com

How many preorders are there in japan?

Question? Didnt the original XBox bomb in Japan? I know it is the majority of the video game market, but for some reason I thought the XBox didnt do very good there. You would think that they would send a few to Australia and NZ. And why does everyplace have to have a different coding and...
