so pwned.
I think there's no reason to fight over what is better, an xbox 360 or a ps3. You can buy whichever you have more fun with, and you're done..
i don't think you understand how business works. the minor $125 they lose they gain when people buy their games. it's a one time loss for an infinite gain so long as people buy their games. however, if they were to raise the price $125 they would lose many of their purchasers because the price was too steep. When you look at the grand scheme of things, $125 is a small price to pay for the amount of money microsoft will gain in the end.Quote:

My mistake, $125 loss for every console produced. (The Premium Package)

Whow, dudes, this is getting all f*cked up...
Theres no reason to fight about something stupid as consoles or money losses...!
Let the people buy whatever they want and let them see for theirselves if the XBOX 360 crashes or not... but hopefully it wont...
I'm gonna follow octane's example and buy a Premium Package XBOX 360... not on the launchday(2 december in Sweden) though, cuz the stores will probably run out of them in a flash... AND bcuz I can't afford it just yet >.>, I will probably buy it somewhere around april maybe... OR I can wish for one as a Christmas present!! Yay!!
Well the point I was trying to put out is Bill Gates is donating all his profits to his charity, even though he's not making much of a profit. I'm not debating over the system because trying to shove your opinion down someone's throat is the most pointless waste of time on these forums.
It's the irony that intrigues me!
Well, he has already donated around $5,000,000,000 (billion) of his OWN money to charities, and I think it's still pretty smart of him to donate the Xbox 360 money to charity. At least he's donating right? Plus, rumors say that in his will, he is only giving his 2 sons .02 percent of the amount of money he has (which is still $10,000,000 each), about 80%-90% is going to charities ($ is too high to calculate :P).
Why be pesimistic? He is donating money, and that is really all that matters.
XD this is why I hate posting here. I was just pointing out the irony, but i'll go back in my hole now.
i appreciate irony, but what you said sounded like you were just tryin to bring down microsoftQuote:
