Xbox 360 released in Europe

[Bear-Max]

Pathetically, Microsoft shipped just 300 000 consoles for the release of the Xbox 360 console. I expect this didn't even cover pre-orders, (and many people have been getting emails from GAME saying just that, although they can choose to pay £635 for a special bundle) but did anyone here manage to get their hands on one?

If so, what's your verdict on the hottest new gaming platform on the market? Overrated? Worth every penny?

I've seen a set up of it in GAME and it doesn't look too bad. However, definatley not worth £620, that almost doubled the expected price. I can't imagine what the situations going to be like when Sony release the PS3, hopefully they'll choose to ship more.

Anywho, I'll wait, theres no way your going to get your hands on one for ages, people on ebay are making fortunes from the Xbox 360 premium.

£635?! For a special pack? What does it include, it better be worth it for the people buying it.

I have no idea what's with it. Considering the games are about £45, I assume it's just a £280 console plus 8 games.

I'm trying to get one from ebay, for about £280 for the core pack [RRP £220] but when they get to about 30Mins left the price shoots up to about £350.. 360 is far better than normal xbox

I don't see the point of buying one at this moment? Its hype, alot of rushing about and spending more money for a console which was originally retailed at £220-£280 RRP.

Obviously :p. That's what usually tends to happen on Ebay, theres a great rush at the end of an auction.
