message: http://www.360on360.com a pretty detailed Xbox360 Blog, should this be added to external links?
: There is nothing useful on this site. It is a link to a link page with no orginal content. --Thax 16:06, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Microsoft chooses Celestica for Xbox 360 

message: $400!?!?!?!? Sure, that's for the "Premium Edition," but still. C'mon! Looks like I won't be getting it any time soon...By the way, should we include consumer reactions in the article?
Something must be done about this ever axpanding list of prices that follow each price. Dollars, Euro, Pounds, Canadian Dollars and soon to be Yen etc etc
Maybe start up a Xbox 360 pricing page? Ablaze 14:58, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think we should keep it in the main article. Havok (T/C) 15:15, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Even tho it could end up like (for example)$299.99/€299.99/£209.99/C$399.99/A$489.99/¥3,999.99/Sfr459.99?  Ablaze 15:47, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

text: That still doesn't warrant it's own page in my eyes. Havok (T/C) 16:02, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  I noticed that when I added the pricing was was disrupting the flow a bit. I was thinking of adding a pricing section. A seperate page that has pricing information for all of the consoles, as well as when the prices have changed or dropped in the past, would be interesting to see.--Thax 16:34, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

text: I say Dollars (US), Euros (Europe, we'd do it for britain), Pounds (Britain), and Maybe Yen. Also the premium edition is the one with all the good features, the basic one has nothing and costs $300 too — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 16:05, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah another page isn't needed, but the section is a good idea.Ablaze 07:48, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ridiculous Price 

message: From what I understand you require some sort of local storage to connect to xbox live silver, either a memory card or a HDD. Does anyone have the information about xbox live gold? I would imagine that you would need a HDD to patch games that have been exploited, and a memory card could introduce problems. It certainly isn't feasible to not patch the games, as people are able to exploit games in ways developers cannot reasonably predict or test for. Any information or links to sources would be appreciated.--Thax 16:39, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm assuming they'd use the HDD in the premium version, and I don't know if they have internet support in the stripped down one. — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 16:48, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

text: The Internet is not just the World Wide Web.  Using an IP address and connecting to the Internet is considered 'Internet Access.'  'Online support' is a term you've just made up.  141.190.32.69 22:29, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Xbox Live and Storage Requirements 

message: The article says that the deluxe edition comes with the remote, but the picture 
that shows what is in the box doesn't have the remote in it.  It also isn't on 
the side of the box.  Can we get a confirmation on this? Well someone went and did it.  They wiped out the article.  Any way to bring it back? Nevermind its back, thanks to whoever fixed it.
:: The remote control is an bonus on the premium edition for limited time.
:::No, I'm pretty sure it comes with the deluxe edition, why would they make it a "bonus" for a limited time? Amren (talk) 21:22, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Umm, because they did. Where did you get the idea that it's not limited? I assume you did at least a little research before posting, but read here, specifically the eighth paragraph, to see the real deal. --Kamasutra 22:20, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

message: A few pornography companies, including Vivid Entertainment,
 have expressed intent to develop sexual accessories to accompany their
 future HD interactive pornography releases for the 360.
: This is serious? I think the page need to be protected until new information as the official date of the launching are disclosed. --Mateusc 04:57, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know the RRPs for games, outside the US. I hope Microsoft continue with their current trend of making the euro price the same number, or smaller number than US (i.e. $49.99=€49.99 or less). - Gerbon689 20:44, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Play are selling them for £39.99 or €63.99 delivered. Microsoft also has notified retailers in Ireland that the selling price for the basic and premium packs will be €309.99 and €409.99 respectively. (Lets call it Irish Xbox Tax) Ablaze 19:09, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well if the price for Ireland is €409.99/309.99, then it's funny that GAME are calling €299/399 the SRPs, and that HMV have also reduced their prices to €399/299. Well I'm assuming about the €299 for HMV, since they dropped the premium to €399, and for competetion I'd bet GameStop and other shops have done the same. - Gerbon689 15:31, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I hope your right... the guy in the game shop i was talking to was pretty stuck up about him being right about the price and me being wrong. This was a few days after the prices went public Ablaze 16:02, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I personally wasn't told €399.99 (in HMV anyway) but my friend who ordered it in the same HMV as I was in was told €399.99, which makes sense cause the guy said the price wasn't confirmed when I ordered mine. (And btw, when I said "then it's funny that GAME are calling..., I didn't mean that sarcastically) - Gerbon689 16:19, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Having generic headings for the hardware section (CPU, GPU) seems to be a good way to simplify the article, hopefully this will allow for easier navigation for those not well versed in tech-jargon. Anetode 08:36, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hardware headings 

message: I looked through the article quickly, and I looked like release dates aren't included. I think  it will be available by November 22nd in North America... Just check for them @ xbox.com.

thread_title:  Release Dates 

message: Maybe I should've put this on Xbox Live but I thought I'd get a faster/more reliable response here. Could someone confirm the thing on the Xbox Live page about it being free on weekends (free for gameplay) cause if it is, I think it really needs to be put here. Actually, there's a few things about Live 360 (as its called over there) that should be checked, cause I haven't seen them on any Microsoft sites. - RedHotHeat 11:58, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
