XBOX $399, er I mean, 360.....

[gamergeek79]

The next generation of gaming consoles will not see the light of day without taking out a huge chunk of your wallet. The average price of systems upon launch has always been in the 100-200 range. From the NES in the 80's with a pricetag of 199, to the PS2 just 4 years ago at 299. Microsoft will reason that the Xbox 360 bundle package is worth the

I dunno, there's a lot of spoiled kids with rich parents who'll do anything to shut em up for a few days........

I don't think that there's a "might" to it. Let's do the figuring for the Pensacola area alone. We'll assum, just for argument's sake. The average hourly wage of their main demographic, 18-32 year olds, is $8.50 an hour. multiply that by 40 hours and take out the government's 20% with SSI, federal tax, and whatever else they like to snag from you. and insurance. most places only pay 50% of your insurance nowadays do to that patient's bill of rights. After deductions that leaves the average person, in their demographic, with $247. Now consider the 360's price of $399 with the 7.5% sales tax. That brings your at the register price, just for the xbox to $428...and that's not even with a game. So now we come to the end of this long diatribe with one question...Who is going to, or who's significant other is going to let you, spend the entirety of half a month worth of pay. I mean hell, engagement rings are only based on 2 months salary...

I would love to find a ring that only cost 2 months salary.

Why whould someone want an X-box anyway?? You can play better and almost all the same games on your computer as X-box for free. I am sure there is a way to hook up a DDR pad to your computer...lol

You will explain the mystery of your cosmic knowledge before I am forced to crack open your skull and drink the intelligence vitae for myself!!!!

Actually, I have seen a few decent Xbox emulator's, along with a converter for a ps2-usb ddr pad. Clever? Yep. Sad? Infinitely.

Concentrate...feel the Force flow. Yes. Good. Calm, yes. Through the Force, things you will see. Other places. The future...the past. Old friends long gone.

2 months salary is what they say for a pricing guideline...but i dunno if i'd lay down 4000 dollars for an engagement ring...i think chad is proof of what could go wrong...but then again if you'd gotten her a 4K ring she might have stuck around...whore...
