Will the Xbox brand ever stop bleeding money out its gully hole?

I know I know, 360 hasn't been around long, but even major game enthusiasts I know don't feel this console has anything to offer and haven't bought it yet. I'm not impressed with the sales of this console yet.

Hell, I don't even have, nor want one yet (I know two people that own them, so I bug them sometimes). It's just not that impressive. Sure its much better looking than Xbox 1, but its not awe inspiring. Nothing is jaw dropping enough to make me rush out and drop $400.

EDIT: And no, I'm not waiting for it to be modded, lol.

Just look carefully.....
I´ve seen a lot of strange things...
All the x360 were with the box factory sealed...
I found HD scratches, case not properly close, and the best sh*t, when I took off the HD, I found 2 hairs, they are like hot glued to the x360 case...
What a fuck***ng crap... blink.gif

Hello smile.gif. If you purchased a New X360 and if you find out that it's a refurb, Take it back & get another one until you get a genuwine from the factory X360. It's your money.

Anyways.. M$ X360 new shipments should hit the stores shortly. Just keep an eye out for them (Those of  you that don't have an X360). Don't rule Sony or Nintendo out from doing the same thing. Remember when the PS2 was released? They were selling the Japan refurbs in USA as new PS2s to compensate for the shortages & factory defective systems.

The company also announced 10 million Xbox Live Marketplace downloads, including over 4 million Xbox Live Arcade games - though many of these were not paid, obviously.


Can someone explain this statement for me?  I realize there is some free content (like demos) but what am I missing something here because the last time I checked, true XBLA games were paid for (I had to purchase the points to download the content).  So, obviously, I am missing something here.

10 million downloads total... meaning if you downloaded a FREE video trailer it counted towards that 10 million

4 million of those downloads were XBLA games. So if you downloaded the TRIAL version of Geo Wars it counted towards that 4 million. If you unlocked the full version it would count a 2nd time towards that 4 million.
