Heres your chance to help out and drop the price of xbox 360's down to only $100 for the xmas holiday.

Just simply vote on the 360 core bundle for $100 if you're a amazon user.

For $100 I would buy a 360 but they only have 1000 units. Even if I make an amazon account and the 360 wins the vote there is a good chance I still wont get one considering how many people would want any of the 3 new consoles for anything nearly as cheap as $100.

Still, I suppose I will get around to making an account and voting since I should make an amazon account sooner or later.

it's going to win. it's got over 88% of the votes. it's a good enough deal that i am going to try and get one.

And you still have to add about another $200 to get it up to the level of the premium system.

Or you could just buy a memory card and not worry about downloading demos and just play the damn games.

A 64 MB memory card is like $40. The 20 GB hard drive is like $100 and is required for backwards compatibility. The wireless controllers are another $50 and the component video cable is something like $30.

assuming everybody wants wireless controllers is wrong. the HDD is expensive, but it's still cheaper than a premium, and all i'd add is the HDD, cause i have a wired controller for my PC that can go back and forth without any worries.

i don't need a headset, and while i'll be missing out on the gold subscription thing, i'll manage without. it's still a great deal.

Dude, it's a next gen console for 100 bucks. I can care less if it doesn't have a HD.

Anyway, it's not like I *can* buy it.

I'm not saying it's a bad deal. It's a great deal. You just have to shell out more if you want to unlock it's full potential.

And once you get a taste of the wireless controllers, you'll never want to go back. It's worth every penny of the extra ten bucks.

I hate wireless controllers. I always trip over the damn cord.

I might stay up till midnight and order me one. are there any games even worth playing? I have never heard anybody say "oh there's this kickass game for 360" or "you gotta play yadda yadda for the 360." damn I didn't even realize it's over a year old.

There is Dead Rising, if you like zombie killing.

Uhh...there's no cord on a wireLESS controller.

And Dead Rising and Gears of War are awesome. Halo 2 is always fun too, but you need a hard disk to play it.

wireless controllers may be fun and all, but i've never had issues with the cord. especially on my xbox, i mean, they're nine feet long. then there's the battery dying, and subsequent input lag due to its dying.

i'd use it mostly for BC at first, but i would own gears of war. and probably rainbow six. possibly splinter cell, if i can get some work during my winter break.
