Well, this is what the guy at Best Buy, told customers last night. They started handing out fliers yesterday afternoon telling people who were camped out :rolleyes: that the only systems they would be selling first would be bundle packs worth $700 bucks. So, for the people who went to BB this morning thinking that the $300 or $400 dollar system would be on sale today were PISSED.

Well if anyone was lucky enough to get one, they can double their money back. Since all the stores are sold out and microsoft announced a huge supply shortage coming up.

The game consoles alone are selling for $600.00 - $800.00 + and the bundle sets are going for well over $1,000.00

I pre-ordered an X-Box 360 months ago just because. I was looking forward to playing games like King Kong and Dead or Alive 4, but they don't really have the type of game lineup that would make you want to shell out $400+ or $300+ for it. Basically, the 360 is what the first Xbox should have been. Nuff said.

Even though I pre-ordered mine, it probably won't ship out until sometime in March (the bastards) but even then, they won't have any blockbuster games out. I'm a diehard PS fan. I bought into the hype of the first Xbox and I was disappointed.

IGN.com has great article that has "The Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Wait and get a PS3". On the other hand, the pro 360 guys at IGN have reasons why you should get the 360 now.

The PS3 has "blockbuster games" inline for it's release. Tekken 6, a new Final Fantasy game, a new Metal Gear Solid game, plus console exclusive games. Not to mention they will be using the new Blu-Ray DVDs that can hold up to 4x more than a current game CD can hold. And guess what....it's Sony exclusive. I doubt Sony woud provide their Blu-Ray cds to companies that will make games for the 360. That would be a bad business decision. My advice Roman...stick with the system you have, and wait for the PS3.

    • And not since. I recall it was quite small for a house that size. And I don't know why you would walk down a narrow corridor to get to the main living area. I hate when the sets on soaps don't have a logical layout! As for Andre his clothing is fashion forward and suitable for his character.He ain't gonna wear no blazer!
    • The last I remember seeing Ben, he was divorcing Amanda. He came to tell Evie that he still loved her, but was leaving town so that Amanda wouldn't blame Evie for his divorcing her. I'm not exactly sure when, but Evie doesn't leave town until sometime after Nola and Quint's engagement ball. I'm not sure if she leaves before or after Justin leaves in Sept(?) of '83. I grew to like Helena when she became friends with Vanessa, once she's edging her way out of Quint's life.

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, I don't see that. 
    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.
