A car for a 360 Slim: My transaction is complete

[Pingieking]

There's not a lot of sense making in the OP. Seriously... giving away a car for an X360 slim is kind of a stupid thing to do.
And the fanboy-ism is boarderling trolling. Or maybe he's just so good that I don't realize that he's trolling.

Why do keep a car you don't like? Ford focus has decent resale value. You should have sold it.

Why does your sister have a 360 slim she doesn't use? It came out recently, so the only reason to buy it is if one is gonna use it.

Why would you swap a car for a 360?

Why....Oh, forget it. Nothing makes sense here anyway.

Actually she didn't have the Xbox Slim, she went out to the store and bought a brand new one for the trade. I was just lucky she could find one, at least here in Sioux City Iowa, they are hard to come by.

I don't see why people who already own an XBOX with a Live account would get a Slim.

You've already got wifi.

The "Slim" doesn't seem much smaller

Aren't you able to hotswap Hard drives?

How did I already have Wifi? Most Xbox owners do not want to pay $100 for the Wifi adapter.
Its shorter and a little thinner on the sides. However its more about the build of it. It has 5 usb ports, a AUX port for Kinect once it comes out, harddrive is internal but can be swapped out and its whisper quite. Not to mention, overall it just looks sexy, so for big fans of Xbox like myself its nice to own the nicest Xbox of the bunch.

Black finish?
Touch buttons?
All round good console?

So to combat fanboyism, you use fanboyism...

Stop compounding the problem. If this was a fire, you've just chucked a gas can onto it.

OT: It's a simple enough question, do you already have anything the new 360 has? If you already have one element like the wifi, or the 250gig hard drive, then there is no reason to get one. Even less of a reason to sell your car for one.

Oh man, I'm usually not one for flaming, but that's just plain stupid. I read your thread earlier, I can't believe you actually passed on hundreds or even thousands of dollars just to please your brother in law. Just....why?! That's a fuckton of cash!

I passed on the "thousands" of dollars I could get from the car because it was a pile of junk. He has the car knowledge and the money to dump into it, I simply didn't care. He is also a great handyman and since I just bought a house its nice to have one happy with you in case I need help with repairs.

I think that pretty much justifies it, considering how little an '02 Ford Focus goes for nowadays.

Have fun with your shiny 360.

I knew it, you are working for Microsoft!

OP - Everybody that flames you is a jerk, it was a great thing that you gave your sister a car and got something fun out of it. It's like when I got my new car and I just GAVE my brother my old Blazer because it was paid off and in good shape and he needed a car to get to work. Giving to family is never stupid, your sister is lucky to know someone as cool as you.

I don't give a rat's ass about helping his family.

I give a rat's ass about how many threads he's made about praising Microsoft, in one day. Which is the purpose of this thread.

I'm with you, all the posts he's made (This has nothing to do with his post count) Are somehow praising Microsoft, especially a certain post which called PC gamers "Fucking retarded" for being PC gamers.

Personally I don't see a problem with him praising Microsoft so many times (whether you agree or not is your own opinion) but I do completely understand he should not have ever called PC gamers what he did, there's just no reason for it. I myself love microsoft and love the Xbox 360, but would never call someone that just for being a PC gamer, I don't think it makes much of a difference, it's more your own personal preference

@Xyliss

I do praise Microsoft just like some praise PC gaming (which runs mostly on Microsoft Windows) and even other praise Nintendo (for some reason) I love the company and Xbox 360. It does everything I want and with Kinect it looks like its extending its console life at least another 4-5 years.

Heh, you traded a car for a slim.

Silly internet person!

IMO, bad trade man. Why not just sell the car and use that money to buy a slim and a lot of games for it?
