Title: Weekly Poll 8/5/07
Post by: shaggy on August 05, 2007, 03:48:57 PM
With the recent Xbox 360 price cut did you pick one up?

Well, there really wasn't a choice that fit 100% so I picked: No, I'm waiting for the price to go down even more.

Nope, I'm waiting until I can find one for less than $100.

Isn't this a bit premature? There hasn't been a price cut yet lol. The rumored one doesn't start until the middle of this week if it does.

I've had a Premium one since Friday the 13th of October 2006. It's only had a few slight problems, like freezing at a certain point in PGR3 a couple of times, and Forza 2 is a bit gimpy sometimes. I'm glad I bought one, I've played it a lot more than any of my other consoles over the last 10 months.

I voted "No, I would rather spend my money on a PS3"

I voted no as well.  While I picked the wii one, I'd rather spend my money on 2600 stuff then 360.  The headache and expense of having to mail it back any time it breaks down is a pain as well as knowing it doesn't matter what I send them (premium, elite) I'll still only be getting a core system back.  Knowing that the core system will be getting the shaft when it comes to the chip, I'd be damned insane to spend that kind of money on something that's got such a high record of failure.  Christ, it's like Sony and Microsoft are competing to see who can make the shortest life span system.

I chose "Yes, I picked one up", even though it was about a week ago. I decided that the rumors of the price drop were getting to the point that it should be here within the next month. So, I went to Best Buy, where they assured me that if there were a drop in the next 30 days, I would get the difference back on my debit card.

Yay, now to tackle the PS3...

I'm tempted but I think I'll wait until the price dips even more.  I've heard too much about this red ring of death and my funds are low right now especially with leaving for FL on Wednesday.

For all of you holding off for the 65nm:

Quote
The chips, which are a sizable difference than the current 90nm chips, are being planned for a new motherboard codenamed Falcon (if you recall, Microsoft's previous motherboard upgrade that included an HDMI port was called Zephyr). The upgrade will still have 90nm graphics chips from ATI -- that upgrade is for later. And there is no guarantee that the smaller chips, though theoretically will require less energy, will alleviate the Xbox 360's Red Ring of Death.
