No, I SOLD one, not bought…think I’m that fucking lame? Gimme a fuckin break I wouldn’t pay a fucking penny over market on it. If I had to pay over $299, I woulda waited for it to drop to BELOW $299 to make a point. Sam ---

Has the whole world gone mad? 366$ for an empty box? 320$ for a picture of an X-Box? I think I’ll go jump out the window, now. [sub]Don’t worry about it, I’m not _really_ going to jump out the window…[/sub]😉 ---

No the world hasn’t gone mad. That sale isn’t real…somebody **intended** it to be real, but the lawyers at Ebay will undoubtedly be contacted about it and the moron who sold it will be notified that he frauded a customer(despite to stupidity of the purchaser). So, not mad, just someone out to screw someone over. Sam ---

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with signing your name at the bottom of your post. Or, for that matter, your initials. pan ---

True, although coincidentally enough I do in fact enjoy those attributes also. ---

A [Canadian electronics chain](http://www.futureshop.ca) is selling an XBox bundle for $599.99 (including any 2 games that they sell). That’s $376.17 in U.S. dollars, at the “official” exchange rate that Yahoo! posts. Not that I would spend a few hundred dollars on **any** game machine.
