Either do I, but selling the games ebay means cheaper 360. I did that last time I bought a 360 made myself back $90 off the purchase price

I got EB Games to match JB Hifi's $249 deal... and I used my EB Games $150 birthday gift card so I only put in an extra $99 and got me an X360 Elite with them 2 games!

Oh and after owning the PS3 for so long and now getting my hands on an X360 again it feels so cheap, the plastic creaks, the disc drive slides in and out pretty noisy/cheap sounding and the console itself is quite loud.

Its my second X360 aswell, I bought a Pro console when Forza 2 came out... then sold them when the GT5 Prologue came out to get a PS3.

EB Games will sell these $450 this month or next....

Seems silly that even in the new one they dont include bluray? The only real benefit I see is wireless internet..

I actually got the RROD, with expired warrenty...

So went and bought an elite with four games for $317 at ebgames today. Not a bad deal.

I was in the same boat as you, yet I read that xbox believes that the bluray disk is the thing of the past, and will be replaced by the internet, they said you can order HD movies through xbox live apparently

Bluray is a Sony owned product I doubt they would sell it to the competition and if they did it would be for an outrageous amount that just is not worthwhile

i don't think the internet will be the way of the future just yet. the reason being that the games still take up so much data and internet speeds are no-where near fast enough, so there will still be a need for physical packaging of games for many years to come.

At about $100 a game I'd want something physical to show for it! I'd only pay for digital contents if its less than $50... ALOT less.

Sony have licensed out Blu-Ray from day 1 to anyone that wants to make a device.

Having said that DVD still dominates as the leading physical disc format and there's no reason xbox games can't come on 1-4 DVDs with the new xbox having a 250GB drive standard and really, only an update would let the console see up to 2TB drives.

lulz there was a point last year that HDDVD - that's right a format defunct for two years at that point - had a higher sales growth than Blu-Ray.
