Xbox 360 Core system sold out, limited at Best Buy

On Thurs., the Core SKU was unavailable for purchase and held a limited pick-up availability status Bestbuy.com.

Maybe they are simply sold out because of halo 3.

[nrdygrl87]

im betting thats it. halo hype is dying down fast. I dont expect the sales to be very high much longer. its a dying system in more ways than one...

[predator]

if the 360 is dying then gods knows what happing to the ps3, lagging sales way behind the 360

[blackmagic]

Likely because the Xbox 360 'core' sku is being replaced by the Xbox 360 'arcade' sku.

[Birdman18]

that is the exact reason... very, VERY old news.. it will be the Xbox 360 Arcade. comes with a memory card, WIRELESS controller, console, and a free xbox live arcade game...possibly more than one arcade game

[Sez]

maybe they are getting ready this start selling the bundle pack with the core system. and want to get rid of remaining stocks of the older models

[BLaZiN PRopHeT]

the premium is also sold out on amazon.com

[predator]

also its number 4 in play.com

Some xbox 360 games will require an HDD which means core owners are going to have to dish out 90 or 180 bucks to play.

[P1MPDADDY]

They wont be able to play PS2 games on thier PS3, and wont have card media ports. Idiot ^^ See how stupid that sounds. Besides a 360 Core owner can upgrade to a HDD. A 360 Core owner can buy a wireless controller. Go Pray B3yond somewhere else. Or at least present a good argument.

You didnt have to say anything b!tch. Every time you open your mouth your ragging on the 360. The cores gives you options at a lower price. Some people dont need a HDD and dont play games online. So a memory card and wired controller are just fine. IF and when they decide they want a HDD or wireless controller they can upgrade to them. How does this suck????? I could care less about my 2 bubbles. Once all you Playstation Polesmokers remove my bubbles I will just get rid of this account and make a new one.

[Ri0tSquad]

But do you feel better now? Don't accuse me a playstation fanboy and call me an idiot because I stated an opinion on the core 360s and you didn't like it or it wasn't in your favor. You seriously don't deserve to be a gamer or the 2 bubbles you have now.

It sucks because you cant play every game out of the box. You need to stop thinking like a fanboy and start thinking like an actual gamer. Until then your on my ignore list kid, have a good one.

Almost as bad as the 360's 200 game compatibility for all SKUs. Everyone already has like two or three PS2s anyways, why would we want BC. I could see why Microsoft wouldn't care, they only had about ten decent games last generation anyways.

[PS3n360]

"everyone has like 2 or 3 ps2's anyway" That explains the 100 million consoles sold. that means in its life cycle it only sold to 33 to 50 million people. Thanks for clearing that up.

[iceice123]

That only is for MMOs. Keep trying to downplay the 360, maybe you will be right someday.

[THE TERMINATOR]

I dont think Ps3 owners give a damn bout Ps2 games, we have the next gen to look forward to. I have not played one Ps2 game on my Ps3, man you xbots are clutching at straws. Developers are afraid of using the HDD on 360 because of this pile of sh!t which is the core. Its really going to spoil the gaming experience and should never have been made. Have fun on your flopbox

[jaja1434]

So PS3 owners don't care about God of War 2, any of the 7-12 Final Fantasies, or the other hundreds of great titles on the PS2? Because thats exactly what your saying and I'm pretty sure most PS3 owners would laugh in your face.

[THE TERMINATOR]

Been there done that. Its time for NEXT GEN, MGS4 HAHAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH AHAHA

[predator]

sad sad boy

[THE TERMINATOR]

And your sad sucking off Alex Ferguson

oh im sorry, im guessing united kicked ur teams sorry ass yeah, haha

[cow moolester]

I have a Ps3, 360 and a Wii and I can safely say the 360 is best.Ps3 hasn't lived upto my expectations.Sure you can say "Oh we'll have great games next month" but after paying 630 euro ($600) you shouldn't have to wait a month to play great games...even fanboys should realise that.For the past 6 months I've listened to fanboys saying "Oh you just wait til next month" and still nothing has happened.

And please don't come at me with "Ohhh 3 red lights" because my 360 lasted me 1 year and 7 months...my Ps3 lasted me 27 days before the HDMI out on the back burnt out and I had to exchange it for a new one. I will gladly PM anyone a picture of the receipt for proof.

Now I know Ps3 fanboys want to believe I don't have one so I will gladly accept friend requests on PSN for proof.My Handle is Cow-Moolester.

And Halo640p : If you knew anything about the Halo screen resolution you'd know it uses 2 frame buffers meaning 1280p. And I find it very sad that you hate a game...you hate a video game....sad sad sad

[predator]

bubble for u sir, well put, i to plan on having both consoles but for the time being i dont see any reason to part with my money for the ps3 yet

[cow moolester]

Right now its not worth it.Mine hasn't been turned on in 3 weeks. Early 2008 would be a nice time to get it.I really like some of the exclusives coming up for the Ps3 but every multi-platform title I buy will be on 360 usually because it plays better and I have an established friends list on that to play with

[FirstknighT]

Curretly it's harder to get a 360 than it is a Wii. Damn Halo effect.

[BLACKJACK VII]

Good time to eBay your DelayStation ladies & step out of a overpriced 4X movie player & get into a real HD GAMING CONSOLE. Better hurry B4 they are all sold out & you are left behind.... again....
