Well down under there are now competitions to win the X-BOX360 so maybe we wont be waiting that long, but X-BOX fans down here shouldn`t get their hopes up just yet.

but either way i don't see why we should have to wait here in australia, its not like its a thing to do with regions (PAL,NTSC) if the UK can get it, then theres no reason we shouldn't get it

but also we will be paying way to much as by the time it goes on sale here, there would of been a bit of a price drop yet we are paying full price

^Well the Austrlian market matters little to Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft as its just so small.The US, Asian and and European markets are where they can make the money so Australia is just about always pushed down to the bottom of the list.

At least in Austraila you have rear-wheel drive cars with V8 engines. In the US we have crappy front-wheel drive Monte Carlos. mad.gif

ok i hope this isnt a stupid question thumbsup.gif

cant you guys in other countries, apparently austrailia being one of them, just go to bestbuy.com or something and buy a 360 if ou want one ?

or hell if it's that important to you to have one and the wait will be that long couldnt you find someone in the states to buy one for you and just mail it to you maybe 10%-20% above cost for S/H ?

(and here 10% above cost is only about $50. i wouldnt call that a huge mark up if i got to the store then wrap the damn thing, then mail it to you around the world)

hell let me know if i could help im willing to be a very cheap middle man
no reason you shouldnt be able to get a 360 too.
cover my mailing costs and a cheeseburger and we will call it good thumbsup.gif

hey guys well apparently i heard on the news that the xbox 360 is being recalled due to overheating now it might be a rumor but i just thought i would ask if its true
beatle boy
NOT TRUE.

the situation on xbox 360 malfunctions is as follows!:

about 150 xboxs have been reported malfunctioning.
THIS IS NORMAL. this has and will always happen to systems at thier launch.
especially when you compare 150 malf. to 1.7 mil. sold so far.

yup

Usually, companies in America allow online purchases strictly in that country. If there are Bestbuys in Australia, then there is a chance they can order one from the net because they would have local Bestbuys.

Now this is a rumor, and I only read it in this one site, and I hope someone can confirm or comdemn this, but Microsoft has set Regional XBox's for a reason. Why? Its because those XBox's work in that region only, and will not work on other regions except the one region its sold in. I think its because people in different regions use different types of technologies for their XBox, but I am very unsure. I'll try to find in the internet where I got that information, so don't rely too much on my statements grin2.gif

I lost confidence of my statement, I can't find data reinforcing this.

$600 for a box

XBOX 360 Premium Game System BOX ONLY

QUOTE
This is the PREMIUM BUNDLE BOX only. It would include bonus accessories, if it were the actual PREMIUM XBOX 360! DOES NOT Come with 20GB Hard Drive, Console, HD Cables, Wireless Controller, Headset! In other words for those of you who do not understand, YES YOU ARE GETTING AN EMPTY BOX SO DO NOT ASK! Great for gags! DO NOT bid if you don't intend to buy! No excuses, I will not retract bids for you! You will be reported to eBay if you backout after winning the auction. I Cannot be more clear! This is not even a factory made xbox 360 box. I made it myself, just a few minutes ago. It does not contain an Xbox 360 console, just the Xbox 360 home-made box. this box is great hand made by me says XBOX right on it It doesn't look anything like the picture I included in the auction. It looks much better, in my opinion.


It's not even an official box

Be among the first to own this season's #1 Holiday gift box! laugh.gif



and Hailo yes the military does have a problem with gay people in the military!
