Black XB360 Elite already $999+

[gkarris]

These "sellers" on Amazon are already guaranteeing one, at a price:

I wish I can just go and get one for my videogame system collection, like I did for the XBox Halo edition - I just walked into a store. No eBay sellers to compete with, etc.

Now with "resellers" - forget it...:(

Arse to that.

There will be plenty of stock to go round, so no idiot e-Bay price inflation.

Actually I'm hearing the black one will be extremely limited. The normal white one in quantity to quickly follow.

Not limited edition according to Engadget and Joystiq. Worry not.

The version but what about the Black color - is that permanent?

Okay, so the black may not be permanent... :o

Yes it is permanent. That post you cite is old. Read this one.

I'm usually the first one to eat up 2nd versions of gaming consoles (i'd loveee the HDMI), but I've come to love the white color, especially with my E3 faceplate :D Hopefully they'll add the 65nm chip and HDMI to the white x360 soon.

If the OP thought $999.99 was bad, he should've scrolled down more. Highest price is $2475.00 :eek:

[superfula]

Holy crap! For a gaming system....unbelievable.

Yeah, almost as much as a PS3!

Yeah, almost as much as a PS3!

And no HD-DVD or WIFI.:confused:

[gkarris]

Thanks for the info!

It is a new permanent color! :)

I think those Amazon resellers didn't get the memo on it yet.

I feel sorry for people who are going to pull a "PS3" and buy one to try to sell on eBay as "Limited" - or maybe even more so for the people fooled into buying from them...

[whooleytoo]

I don't know if this is occurring here, but in many other instances of touting/scalping, people deliberately sabotage the auctions by putting in high fake bids - it's possible the highest of those isn't a genuine offer.

[notjustjay]

Meh.
