I saw a bundle for $480 at Costco. PGR, extra wireless controller, Premium pack, media remote, etc. It actually seemed like a really good deal. Until I realized I paid $200 for a brand new PS2 and $150 for a brand-new Gamecube...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Speaking of which... it's been awhile since there was talk of the new fabrication process. When is the 360 slated to move to the smaller nm chip? This should address the heat issues.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I've been wondering for a while now, but am I the only one who is more excited for titles such as Bioshock and Mass Effect than Bungie's over hyped FPS?
No, you're not the only one. I'm just trying to decide if it would be better for me to buy an Xbox 360 or PS3, or build a new computer on which to play such titles.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I still haven't heard the failure rate of these 360 boxes drop yet. Have they implemented 65 nm? I have heard on a few other boards they have but it sounds like a rumor so I thought I'd ask. The 2-game holiday bundle seems like a way to unload a good number of units before churning out a slightly revised model...

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Did anybody see this over on GS? Xbox 360 failure fiasco explained in-depth - GameSpot News Blog - Gaming News and Videos If the Xbox 360 was reliable, I would have ditched my Wii long ago and purchased one.

If the cost is really $1.15 billion, what are your thoughts? Given that Xbox 360 sales are somewhere around 10 million (probably higher by now), that's a cost of $115 per unit. Microsoft could have spent an extra $115 on every Xbox made (adding features, reliability, whatever) or it could have charged $115 less, and it would have broke even compared to the current state of affairs. It's interesting (yet sad) to see this kind of business process roll along with the inertia of a mile-high

I was speaking idiomatically.
