This topic is locked from further discussion.
would be better if you had the option to get it in black

true, but then again, imo it would look too much like the slim as it is. I actually like this one a lot. I still have an old Halo 3 xbox 360 that RROD a long time ago on me, but it's fixed. Now that was what u call a green poo like color, haha
how have you found that?I've found that Amazon isn't a big deal when it comes to sales.
So I wouldn't get my hopes up yet.

[QUOTE="Vinegar_Strokes"][QUOTE="Chutebox"]how have you found that? Ps3 constantly out selling 360 by a large margin (up until slim released) yet losing in NPD sales. But didn't the 360 S shoot up the charts and sell a lot in a short period?I've found that Amazon isn't a big deal when it comes to sales.

Ever since the Ps3 slim was released, it has been slaughtering 360 on Amazon (until now). But yet only managed to beat 360 in NPD once, maybe twice.
$399 seems very tempting, but I think it's a bit too much.

Guess how much the PRO 360 was at LAUNCH 2005? $399!
My how the years have been kind to the pricing...maybe it is a tad much. :P
It's cool though, I myself have a Halo 3 Xbox 360, and two Halo Xbox's.
amazon.com does not represent the whole worldLed_poisonas the largest online retailer...yeah it kind of does. or atleast gives us a pretty damn good representation of the buying habits.
And people said it wasn't a system seller anymore :PRavensmash
I've never said that. I still maintain that you stamp "HALO" on a box with a turd inside it and the fanbase will not only buy millions of copies, they will praise it as the single best box of turd ever.
Rest assured lemmings, Halo fever is still insanely rampant. Let's not try and rewrite history (and factual/sales evidence) to act like Reach is somehow the second coming and resurection of Halo PROVING it is the saviour of videogames.

It comes with Many Halo related struff , and you get and extra controller , so 400 $ isn't much , now 350$ would have completely nailed it.I've found that Amazon isn't a big deal when it comes to sales.

Ps3 constantly out selling 360 by a large margin (up until slim released) yet losing in NPD sales.This is a good point but it would be interesting to see how much supply constraints played a part against PS3 as well (when it was doing so well).[QUOTE="Ravensmash"]And people said it wasn't a system seller anymore :PZIMdoom

who knows why hes mad...likely cause it will end up getting Goty this year.[QUOTE="Led_poison"]amazon.com does not represent the whole worldWilliamRLBakeras the largest online retailer...yeah it kind of does. or atleast gives us a pretty damn good representation of the buying habits. It really doesn't, the PS3 was higher than the Wii and 360 for months on the video game charts, yet it lost in NPD.

I'm just saying that both the gaming public and gaming critics STILL love and worship the Halo franchise as one of the best FPS out there. It seems odd to me that theTC has imagined some world where Halo is on the downfall and this is its heroic rise.

Amazon is not counted in the NPD sales... It never has been i think
It's a good deal, but idiots would buy a toilet seat if it had the name Halo on it.Zoso-8this, every time a halo game comes out a topic like this comes out so yeah

What about Halo Wars?Hope you love it, it looks pretty nice. :)I just placed my preorder for it with release day shipping for 5 or so bucks...

lol, no **** Its a new SKU. I totaly want one, but im afraid of getting it and it breaks and I send it to MS and they send me back a regular 360, not my limited edition one. Thats one fo the problems with SKUs like this.

[QUOTE="Led_poison"]amazon.com does not represent the whole worldWilliamRLBakeras the largest online retailer...yeah it kind of does. or atleast gives us a pretty damn good representation of the buying habits. You'd have to look at every amazon site to establish that and even then, it's not neccessarily the largest retailer for video games.

Stevo_the_gamer
I dont think its wide spread, but I heard horror stories about people sending in a speacil console (like asigned one or a Limited edition finish) and MS couldnt fix the problem, so they sent them a Refurb regualr one. thats maybe why I would be warey of something like this. Im not starting a flamewar, but I would be more comfortable buying a console like this if I knew the console wasnt very likely to break, like if it was that Speacil Edition white PS3 SKU for FF 13 that Japan got. And we still dont know the stability of these new 360 because they havent been out long enough to gauge that kind of stuff properly, adn probaly wont be able to for like another 5 months or something.
