Hmmm...You got a point...it's not like he MAKES them buy it. But still, he preorders 10 which means 10 people who could have gotten them at regular price now have to pay a lot more just because he beat them to it.

That's the point. The people he cheated out of preorders were too slow. They diserve not having a 360.

That seems backwards to me, don't you mean he deserves to have them?

Hahahah. Please tell me you're kidding. They don't deserve a 360 because they were "too slow?" That's like little kid shit in a move your feet lose your seat way.

It's business dude, if people are soooo desperate to buy it, why don't they pre-order it. I really find it stupid for anyone to be so desperate as to pay so much for it. But if they are willing to pay, it means they are capable of buying it. I am not forcing them. It's an auction, where a baseball can go for half a million dollars. It's supply and demand.

It's not always easy to preorder things. The nearest game store to me is an hour away, and I can't get there every single day. Is it my fault I live so far away? Hardly, yet you think in the end, I should be denied an xbox360 because of that? I wouldn't have a problem if you were doing it with one or two, but 10?! But, as you said, if people are willing to buy it, then so be it. I'm torn on this one. I better preorder one before you take them all

Yes you do. You said you did in another thread.

I love your state by the way.

Your location says IL. I used to want to live in Chicago when I was a young lad.

But are people sooo desperate that they will pay 1000 dollars for it at launch? I mean can't you wait a week or something? And just because you seem really desperate to have one, I'll order 11

As it stands I currently want all 3 next-gen consoles, although X360 seems to be the strongest, with the PS3 launch titles appearing to be nearly all sequels. Revolution will be undoubtedly very cool, but not heavily supported by the big devcos. Still, the ability to "play every Nintendo game ever" does have its advantages, I'd wager. It's also the best looking console of the 3. PS3 looks like a later version of the 3D0, and X360 seems one design meeting away from perfect.
