Xbox 360, Am I stupid?

imported_shortd81 · 01-16-2007, 06:21 AM

Well I brought 5 xbox 360's when they first came out. I sold all of them on ebay for nothing less then $1260 and I sold 1 for $2600+. Am I stupid for getting rid of my xbox 360's? Yeah I do get bored playing my ps2 but with all the money I made I think It was worth the wait.

If you made all that cash you should be able to easily afford one now, I work at Argos in UK because you used $ I'm guessing your american. Anyway at christmas we were selling them with the steering wheel and 3 games for around £300 so that would be nothing to spend when you look at the money you made.

I would definatly get one now seen as prices for games are finally beginning to drop and with almost every game avilable for xbox live the games never seem to become less challenging or boring.

Plus when playing on a HD TV the graphics of the PS2 don't even compare to the Xbox 360 as it's on another level.

Those are some impressive sales figures, well done. I guess you can look at it this way: If you could restrain yourself from ripping the packaging off one of the 5 you had then you should be able to make it that little bit longer before you buy one.

You also now have the choice of whether to go for the Xbox 360 or the PS3.

You definately made the right choice of selling your 360's. That's a lot of cash, and at the time of release, the 360 did not have a very strong launch lineup. A lot of the games came out later and you also didn't know whether the PS3 was gonna be good, so good choice on making the profit.

Nice move, I am amazed at the resale niche on the release of new concoles, do you think this is a good or bad thing for the consle industry?
