@Mike – DUDE! You gotta return it and get one at the lower price or get one with the HDMI (if you got a Premium). They’re all over the place now! PLUS, a friend tells me they may be selling a bunch on Sunday packaged with a Table Tennis game! (Table tennis…I know…but free is free). *nod*

I absolutely knew they were going to drop the price on the thing right after I bought. I bought one last week and said to someone “I bet they drop the price on it now that I’ve bought it”. Grrr.

I got the cable as well that lets me hook the thing up to my widescreen LCD monitor. It looks rather sweet.

@Apexad – Yeah, that’s what I’m being told. But still, to be w/o your box for 3 weeks while it’s getting repaired? Ugh.

The one thing I must say is do not worry about “bricking” when it comes to Xbox 360. Yeah it happens, it happened to me even. However, Microsoft has upped the warranty to 3 years, so with that being said it is completely covered if it does “brick”.

@Opal – Well me and my friend Steve said that when one of us got the XBox, the other would follow suit. He picked his up yesterday and even though it indeed has the HDMI port, he’s not sure if it has the 65nm chip with 2 heatsinks (which should help the overheating problem a lot).

For myself, I’m a little married at the moment so I have to pull in some money from some slush funds I have going and then I’ll probably take the plunge. Thing is, I don’t even have a TV with HDMI on it right now!

@Scot – Now are you talkin’ the regular XBox? ‘Cause I swear M$ has stopped making new games for it…Everything is comin’ out on the 360!

Hey Bush,
I still have a modded XBOX that I play many games from old systems on through the emulators.

But lately I’ve been getting in to newer games to waste my time so maybe I’ll pick one of these up after all.

Hmm sort of makes me think about selling my Xbox 360 and getting the premium? I think I’ll wait until after Christmas.
