Elder Scrolls 4, oblivon is out and I am going to buy it on thursday.

I have a core xbox that has not yet been opened.... I have been waiting to find someplace that has a premium, and exchange it and pay 100 bucks.

but... the game is coming out and it is kind of hard not to play a 360 when you have one... so what should i do?

wait to buy the game until i get a premium? or buy the game and play it on my core system?

Well you won't be able to save if you have a core unless you bought a harddrive or a memory unit. I have a core and COD2 and can't save because I don't have a memory unit. -(

I'd wait it out and use the www.untitlednet.com program to find a 360

i would wait til you get a premium. what could u get for the core on ebay nowadays?
of course this is easy for me to say since i have had my 360 since before the new year )

You HAVE to play Oblivion at all costs. You know you don't want to wait just to save yourself a few bucks. Trade in the memory card towards a hard drive and you'll be good to go. OMG OBLIVON

I found out what I am going to do..

Since I am not a big fan of console gaming, especially online... i am going to keep the Core system and probobly not going to sign up for xbox live. I will get oblivion and I have an extra wired controller so ill trade it in for a wireless one. ill keep the wired one that comes in the box for anytime i do two player and i can use it for my pc too. i have a memory card so i can save even though a hard drive would be cool, and i could always add one later.

I have paid about $390 and I have a core system, hdd, wireless controller, and corded controller. You can save money if you keep the core (The $400 premium will end up costing about $430)

I agree
the other thing, if you arent going to play the core and will just exchange it, why not just sell it and then buy a premium when it comes out? essentially you are doing the same thing except you can now sell it for more than you would get if you exchanged it. btw, who sent the core?
craigslist, your local newspaper are great alternatives to ebay. only sell locally on craigslist though

yea... but if you think about it... i would rather have an xbox 360 than 300 bucks.... because even though its core, the xbox 360 is harder to find... so i dont want to be left with just the value of it, unless i could sell it for more... maybe the rpice of the premium
