The first thing I did when I got a credit card was to buy a graphics card. Fortunately, I didn't max it.I keep refusing to let them up my limit too. I don't need the temptation. -------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.

LOL burb - For the 360 its $299. Each game is going to be $60. With 6 games, that's $360, so its $659 already. Hard drive - $100
Combination High-Definition Component & Standard A/V Cable - $40
Headset - $20
Universal Media Remote - $30
Extra Wireless Controller - $50
Play & Charge Kit - $20
Rechargeable Battery - $11
Xbox Live 12 Month Card - $70
1-Year Product Replacement Plan (more than basic 90-day warranty) - let's say $20 (it was $50 for the first xbox) ------
$360 for peripherals
$659 for console and games
-----
$1019 before tax. With 7.5% sales tax in Ohio, that's $1095.43 I paid $936 after tax. Sounds like a deal to me. I didn't save on the games. Where the savings are at were the peripherals. [ 10-08-2005: Message edited by: Flux ] --------------------

It was 1 AM. You think I gave a shit, grammar queen? Forgive me for assuming Enlgish was your first language.This reminds me of a joke. A guy travels to Harvard to hang out with a childhood friend of his. Excited to see him and ready to go party, he asks his educated pal "Hey, where are all the bars at?"
His friend looks at him and says "At Harvard we don't end our sentences with prepositions."
Instantly he replies "OK. Where are all the bars at, asshole?" [ 10-08-2005: Message edited by: Flux ] --------------------
