Thousands are not X-Box 360's
by zaznet November 23, 2005 5:01 PM PST
What about the thousands of auctions for email addresses, and links to advertising sites to "earn" a free X-box 360?

A very large number of the auctions in the Ebay section set up for listing the console itself are fraudulent and are NOT providing the console.

Most of the crap on eBay is fradulent. It is the wild west on that thing. Not to mention, anyone who would pay the money these morons are paying for a 360 should be sent to a mental institution.

Remembering Atari Pong
by JoseMartos November 24, 2005 2:12 AM PST
These days I'm remembering the buzz in Xmas 1975 with Atari Pong sold at Sears, people waiting two hours for buying it. But I have a doubt. Anybody remembers the original price of first Atari Pong console?

Isn't this a viral campaign?

I mean, people stealing consoles, people paying over three times the value of the console... had they _really_ wanted it, they would have preordered with some time.

Hang in there if you don't got one yet!!! Auctions are losing steam--look at the auction statistics for XBOX 360 on this site:

. There has been a slight dip and it looks like it's peaked. Supply and demand is getting better for xbox buyers!!!!
