Xbox 360 on eBay - eBay Xbox 360s for $1,000+!

Looking forward to the new Microsoft Xbox 360?!
Have some money to spend?!

There are dozens of Microsoft Xbox 360s currently available on eBay that are selling for upwards of $1,000. They are being sold as pre-release Xbox 360 units - and the bidding is competitive! So apparently the Xbox 360 will do phenomenally well at launch.

From Engadget: "It looks like some people on eBay are apparently snapping up pre-release Xbox 360 units for sometimes over $1,000, even despite the caveat that it’s not really actually properly pre-release, per se, since the units won’t ship until their release date (hey, even eBay peeps have to follow the rules). So yes, basically these people are paying for the privilege of not having to wait in line, safe in the knowledge that they have nothing to worry about when it comes to the console being sold out. But damn, didn’t they get the memo that you’re supposed to pay through the nose for your new toy after everyone’s out, not before?"

Microsoft Xbox 360 Launch Date & Launch Information

Microsoft's next generation Xbox 360 games console will be in US shops on 22 November. Once launched in the US, the Xbox 360 is due to be in stores in Japan and Europe in early December. Up to 20 games will be ready at the launch. The move could give it a vital edge over rival Sony which plans to release its PlayStation 3 in spring 2006.
