    i think it sucks too, but if you could wait in line and get one, then get home and sell it for a weeks pay i guarantee that you would do it to.... just wait this happens with every system.... you waited years for this 3 more months wont hurt you... and if you cant wait in line for them you still wouldnt get one because if they couldnt sell them on ebay you still wouldnt get one unless you waited in line.....they would only still make a few

    No one is being screwed. People buy the Xbox's legally and then sell them legally. If people want to pay outrageous prices for a hunk of computer guts that plays games, so be it.

    You will just have to wait until a store near you gets more Xbox's for sale and you have an oportunity to buy one.

    Personally, for $600 I'd rather spend it one something way more useful.

    Actually, the PS3's are going for about 591-642 right now. Thats about 60 bucks LESS than what they cost at retail price.

    BTW, I HAVE ONE!!! Just got done watching a movie on it.....now hubby is playing "Call of Duty."

    Source(s): sold one on ebay...made NO profit, unfortunately. :(
