Hype. Same with the iPhone, same with the Wii, same with the Playstation,
etc
Lots of people standing in line for ages, really, really wanting one of the
item in question, then hearing that the shop's almost sold out. It's asking
for a mob.
Plus, afaik, Black Friday often sees things on sale at discounted rates.

The point is the quality.

Oh, OK. It didn't seem all that spectacular to me, but maybe it looks
better in motion...

On a good TV, the graphics the XBox puts out looks awesome.

Yeah, the picture does seem to be in a widescreen aspect for some reason...
I had a go at playing something called "call of duty 4" on my sister's
PS3. [Yes, I know. I still find it hard to believe a real person
somewhere actually owns one.] It seemed rather impressive on a vast
29-inch LCD TV. I mean, the graphics seemed really astounding anyway,
but I expect just about any game seems immense on such a huge display
surface...

Ah. I was wondering why everybody is so excited about the iPhone. (Is it
because it has an "i" in the name? I'm still waiting for Apple's
intelligent vacuum cleaner, the "iSuck". :-P )
As for the Wii... Apart from the obviously ridiculous name, I think it's
an "interesting" concept. But when I tried to play with my sister's
boyfriend's Wii [do NOT say this out loud in public!] it just made my
arm hurt [do NOT include this part in public either!!]
Seriously - the centrifugal forces just make the veins in my hand
overpressure. And my wrist hurt.
I wonder... surely there have been some pretty serious injuries /
property damage due to the Wii, no?

It's a incredible product from Apple - afaik it doesn't have even the
one button Apple is famous of! And still it's a telephone, beat that if
you can.

I honestly want one, just haven't had the cash on me while surfing the
shops. But before x-mas I believe I'll own one. It's one of the rare
changes to get me intresting in something even remotely sporty.

You know... It already is printed in the internet?

It'll pass.

Yes. That's why they added the wristband.

...which isn't the same as SAYING IT OUT LOUD, because writing it down
makes it completely unambiguous that you're talking about an electronics
product. ;-)

Wait - they *added* the wristband?
As in, it wasn't there initially?
Oh dear. ;-)

More like on the internet more people will read it than ever could hear
you say it out loud once :p.

Yes.

Yep :).
