If it makes you feel any better, that's probably a scam bidder, and they're setting it up to use a false escrow site to bilk the seller out of their XB360. Though based on the PS2 launch, I fully expect to see premium bundles selling for upwards of $2k before it's all said and done.

That's how it looks when ebay's auto-bid feature overbids a potential competing bid. There are some tricks you can use to figure out a person's top bid without overbidding them, and people will minimum increment the bids to get to that point, setting up a last minute snipe. For example, if your current bid is $15, and your top bid is $20, and I bid $16, it will jump to your bid of $17. If I bid $18, it will auto-bid you to $19. If I bid $20, you've already bid $20, so it will register your auto-bid at $20, but now I know I've got you at your max, and I'll back off, knowing that you'll probably rest well thinking you've got the top bid, when I know that a bid of $21 will beat you and I can snipe it away. Of course, if you come back and up your max to $25, it will auto-increment the bid to $21, so I'll know I have to start the process over again. |

OMG wait 5 months and you will get your xbox360 I mean seriously is it worth the 2k to get one right now. I don't think it is just wait. This country is so screwed up to have to have things now. Our country's name should be Baruka Salts lol. Seriously tho patience should be learned here.

Its nuts , the cashier at Wal-Mart told me they only send 4 systems to a store 2 core and 2 premiums thats is ridiculous. Hell i didnt mine the smart way screw ebay and paying 425 i did mint the easy way. Bought the core then the HD and add on every payday so I started out with a core now have a premium  Im satisfied. But im pissed in the process. |

They are still in demand. Just wait and you will find one for retail value.

just an update on this here, I got one at launch, I baught it for obvilion because I am heavy into RPG's, I have found nothing else worth playing for the system and the game I got it for (yes I am expecting hate mail for this) just sucks. I want to sell my system, its the full premium pack with a mini media remote, I will even throw in an extra face plate (the outfit) and a game (obvilion) I am only asking 350 canadian plus shipping costs.
if anyone still wants one, just let me know.

I dont understand your views of the 360 because I think it is awesome. But I do know what your talking about with oblivion. When I first got the game I liked it but It is just very boring to me and the missions are hell trying to do...
