Well i wouldnt suggest cod2 if you are dehydrated.That game is one hellava ride! You might want to tone it down to tennis maybe.

Yeah I only played it for like 10 mins before getting nauseated. I did end up feeling better and got to the US missions. I am just about to play them now!

I know it's not Gamestop's fault or anything, but I want to drop a fat-ass turd on their counter...

i rememba from eb (i got add of eb and gs togetha so i suppose same owner) last yr my parents pre ordered madden 2005 in late july for my bro, and it was suppose to be there the day before his birthday. Everyday it kept gettin pushed back until like 3 weeks later we were finally able to get it... although not xbox 360 related, never trust them with pre orders, if its a game go in and buy... (my opinion dont count da site)

I don't think you should have bought one from ebay at all, because I'm sure that all the stores that don't have pre-orders to fill(i.e. Best Buy, Wal-Mart) will have them on shelves in time for the holiday season. I actually just applied to Target and Best Buy, and if I get hired, i'm boosting one for sure.

I never really preorder anything. Usually you can just go to target and buy whatever, but obviously this was not the case. I did not want to wait until december, and mess with lines. And there is always that slim chance that I would not even get one any way.

The premiums were going for at least 700 on ebay, when I was bidding and it is just not worth it.

and $530 IS worth it? for a core? sorry to down talk, but i just refuse to buy xbox360's off ebay.

530 for a core is better than 800 for a premium. I think it is worth it, but I will probably have regrets. I am really enjoying it though, cannot wait to play perfect dark.

Down talk-what you mean?
If you meant like talk down to me, well that just aint possible.
If you meant like down play or take away from my fun, well that aint possible either, so dont sweat it. If you refuse, I guess well.....sh#t

Having heard about faulty hard drives, the only regret is the wireless controllers. I do not have a HDTV, but when I do I will just have to upgrade.

You say the premium is not worth an extra 250-300 dollars more but do you realize you paid an extra $210 for the core. The core is $320 with tax and you paid $530 on Ebay that is $210 extra you paid. So all you needed was an extra $40-$90 to get a premium.
