- CUBApete, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I wonder what you would do with a console with no games... Look at it?
- purezero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sell it on Ebay for an absurd price.
Or at least that's what I would do. - lightdarknes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Oh man, one of those 9081 boxes are mine
MINE I TELL YOU - kamhp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0one word, ebay
- jadedhalo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1normally, winners of these kinda contests dont get there prize for weeks. They may win on Aug 28 but they probably wont see anyting til after the inital launch.
- adml_shake, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Thats the only way I'm gonna go out and get one. I won't pay for one at launch.
- lmcintyre, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0if they win on aug 28 im sure they will get it before november, and CUBApete cant you play ps2 and ps1 games on it?
- Numbski, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Would this be the whole "Mountain Dew-X" thing that was dugg a few days a ago?

so you saying everything microsoft makes is bad? this is a console, im sure its a diffrent wayy diffrent department than their OS.....prob diffrent buildings alone. - G-RaZoR, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Well, lets see. The Contest is Augest 28. Factor in the industry standard "6-8 weeks shipping" This puts us between the middle of October, and November. I'd bet you'd get the console a few days before the launch, or possibly a few days after the launch. Microsoft isn't going to half-ass this console, trust me
- Dragular, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I've never been the type to own more than one console in the current generation, usually I'll wait until a few months after they've all been released before making a purchase... but hey, getting one for free would definately help me decide whether to get the PS3 or Xbox 360 LoL
- jayred, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I did a little quick math to see how many consoles that means they're giving away. Over the nine-week period, they'll give away 9,072 consoles. I can't imagine they'll have this many consoles floating around before the launch date, so I'm in agreeance with everyone else. If you win the drawing, don't expect to see your Xbox360 before the launch.
- sneakerelph, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"CUBApete cant you play ps2 and ps1 games on it?"
huh? you've been reading rumors. remember this:
a console from one company will NEVER EVER play another company's console games. ever. unless they do some weird joint thing.. .but then there'd only be one console. - beelz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+024*6(24 hours times 6 times an hour)= 144*7(7 days a week)= 1008*9(going on for nine weeks)= 9072
- FunkyGuy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0wow......9072 xbox's..... well I am going to win, watch me, yep, WATCH ME.
- BaconBits, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"cant you play ps2 and ps1 games on it?"
- someone clearly read xbox360 as PS3 - BugMeNot2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Why not PS3? The XBOX isn't really all that "green" anymore.
- GamerSDG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I will buy like 1million bottles enter all the codes on one drawing, 360 is going to be a great system
