I kinda got money i am 15 years old and dont got a job yet and i ticked my dad telling him it would be a christmas present but i wount open it till christmas.So he perordered it putting 50$ down and 10$ 5 each for 2 games(madden football 06 & Nba live 06). then we left after we perorder it at gamestop i told him i would open when i get it and he said since u been good at home and got god grades at school last year i would let u.so... what about u u got the money or still saveing and did u already preorder. also if u did not preorder go and do it fast because my gamestop and i am positive other stores will be doing the same and stop takeing perorders. also for ur info if ur on the second shipment of xbox 360 u may get it come release date because they may get alot to fill first and a little or all of second shipment. most gamestop will do the same.

I'm all set, for that an extra controller, HD cables and whatever games I end up getting. I also dropped a chunk of change yesterday on my HD plasma so I'll be all set for my HD gaming goodness XD

still 3-4 more months so you have plenty of time to save

does anyone know where there is a place you can pre order a xbox360 online??? or does anyone know when walmart is going to be available for preorder??

You'll need more than $421 for your wish list. E.g. $300 for Xbox 360; + 3 controllers @ ~$30 each; + 2 games at ~$60 each; + 2 faceplates @ ~$5 puts you at ~$520. This is based on assumption of prices, not actual figures. Then you may want the "plug-n-play" to recharge your controllers. And if the Xbox 360 does ship with composite plugs and you want component, you'll have to buy that as well. Take heart, though, because if you had resolved to buy a PS3, you would have paid about $520 just for the console + one game.

Anyway, my Xbox 360 and at least one game will be fully paid off before November. I'll probably pick up another controller and game at launch. We'll see.

At the moment I have exactly £120 saved up (about $205). I'm hoping to have enough to buy at least the console and two games at launch. Ideally I want to be able to pick up the console, an additional controller and upto 4 games at launch

I need to start taking out money from my bank account and putting it in a savings tub.
I want the console and 2 games at least, and maybe the quickcharge kit (actually, thats a necessity). If I have more money though, i'll get more stuff.
