Yeah spending that much on ebay is abit insane. People just need to be patient and they will get one.
Though there is no way around spending close to 500 for a premium. If you factor in tax and even 1 game you are well over 450. Though for people who want nothing to do with Xbox Live then you should buy the core for 299 and save yourself a hundred dollars.
Yeah Microsoft loses about 175 bucks per premium system sold. It about the same as the last console. Probaly will take them a couple years to start turning a profit on the hardware. The money is in the software being sold.
