EliteShadowMan Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Put down the initial $100 in June. Then in August i started throwing $150 per paycheck at it till it was payed off. Did the same thing with all 9 of the games i'm getting as well. Barely got it all payed off on time lmao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponypo2001 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I stood on the corner and made suggestive motions towards anyone who passed by. After shortening my skirt length and wearing some fishnets, the money rolled in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmporerDragon Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Initially, I was just doing the basic putting money away for each paycheck, but that was thrown out the window when I had a deal I just couldn't pass up on (50" Toshiba LED for $325). So now, I'll just wait for my tax return to come in in a few months as that tends to be in the thousand dollar range and I have no outstanding debts that really need to be paid off.

The Elite Elite Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) I guess i am not the only one who hasn't pre-ordered one or has the money to buy one out right. No you aren't. For most of the time it's been the second reason for me, I just didn't have the money. Now that I finally have found employment ( ) I technically could afford to buy the Xbox One (although, even if I had decided to pre-order the moment I first was hired I think it would have already been too close to release to get a pre-order) but I don't want to yet. Besides Ryse, there really won't be any games I want to play until late next year. Edited November 20, 2013 by The Elite Elite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaleido42 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Sold my PS3, traded in about 50 games thus-far, hopefully more games will be done to trade-in before launch, some random prepaid cards I've gotten a hold of here and there (like internet sign-up bonuses), and credit card. I've also got a 2nd One on preorder that I'll possibly sell to a friend at cost, but if they don't need it I'll hopefully be making a little bonus off of selling that too.

BiggD Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Yeah, he's awesome. Our first. But I agree, MS should have totally asked me first if it was a good time I actually had a discussion the other day with a good friend of mine who has two kids about whether our kids will remember the Xbox One as their "first console" the way many of us remember the NES, SEGA, Atari, etc. as our "first". We have a WiiU too, will he remember that as his first because the games cater more to kids? Having a kid totally changes the way you look at the world. And, in relation to this discussion, it TOTALLY changes the way you view your finances *N64 for me I'm not as old you you fellas just yet! I sure as hell don't have a kid yet, but I can relate in that my younger cousins (8 & 9) basically know of the Xbox 360 as the first console ever lol.

BiggD Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Youngster! NES for me! In my defense, I did play on the SNES (god knows what games I played, my memory fails me) but not until after experiencing the N64. I'm a youngin' compared to most of the regulars around here At least B A R 4 D understand me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkReign2021 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I was going to come in and make a joke about selling my body on a street corner, but obviously that's already been taken a few times over, so screw that noise. But seriously, I setup a meth lab and have been cooking nearly-pure meth for the last 9 months since they revealed the Xbox console. I had to be sure my family would be left with enough money to afford the console, yearly XBL fees, Plug-n-play charge kit, a fair number of games, and reserve left just in case of any faults that require them to send their consoles in for repair. Unsurprisingly, I ended up nearly $43 million, which is almost twice what my family would need for that, so I bought a 51% share in 343's stock and became the majority shareholder. Look out for our next exciting releases "DarkReign Presents Halo 5" and "DarkReign Presents Halo: Spartan Kart Racing" And just to join in, technically my "first game system" was PC where I enjoyed the greatness of Wolfenstein 3D when I was 4, but even though I had it, Atari 2600, NES, and PS1, my first real game console was the original Xbox. Before, it was an interest, but I never really got into gaming. Xbox is when gaming truly took hold of me and made me into what I am today.

KutleryKing Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Well, I put $100 down initially. That was just for the preorder at the time. Then, yesterday, I finally managed to sell my PS Vita. I didn't play it as much as I used to, so I figured I might as well sell it for some money for the One. That got me $200. Next, I'm going to trade in five games to get that $100 credit, and possibly more just to make the price a bit lower. Now, all I have to really worry about is paying the $150 left (including the leftovers + tax), as well as any other costs for games. Overall, I'm just happy my tax refund came in on Monday.

Ethiebeefy Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I'm not funding my Xbox One, my parents are! But it's for Christmas. I offered to pay for half but, you know.... They declined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elekid Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Pimpin' the mean streets of central Wisconsin, of course! Which means I probably won't get it until sometime next year. In the mean time, that PAL Xbox 360 I've been wanting is starting to look way more affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the mean time, that PAL Xbox 360 I've been wanting is starting to look way more affordable. Just curious, but what does the PAL Xbox have that NTSC doesn't? I could understand excitement over an NTSC-J because of all the Japan exclusives (I guess they get a ton of Eroge titles, which I would love to own IF I COULD FREAKIN' READ 'EM), but I don't know what the PAL has to offer. Sadly, 12 years later, I'm still trying to get my hands on an NTSC-J Original Xbox. I own one game that I would really love to play, but I need a Japanese box to do so and I'm pretty sure there was a mass burial or burning of original Xbox at some point because those things are nowhere to be found now...

iBuzz7S Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Working and saving. Put aside $1200 for the Xbox One and still have a few hundred dollars to spare, so that will come in handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skatermike21988 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Preordered at walmart back in august with my discount and payed a little at a time when I could afford to do so. I have half paid off and will be paying the other half on Thursday when I get my $1300 paycheck with almost no bills to pay, so it'll be a happy week for me!

Broke Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Work, thankfully the money was never a problem but I managed to pay off the majority of the console and the 3 games I pre-ordered with money I've won playing poker which is a bit of a bonus!

o Bk2DaFuture o Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Day it was announced went in and dropped $1500 on the console, accessories and games. Just had it their laying in the bank Same as you! When they announced this and the ps4 for pre order I had the money sat In the bank. I knew I would end up waisting it so I went into GAME and pre ordered both consoles and put £1000 on a gift card. Just paid my x1 off today and it was £699 so I ain't gotta put much up for the ps4. It seemed like a good idea at the time but I never really thought about if game had gone bust again! Just glad they didn't and I'm getting the x1 tomorrow at midnight! I can't wait man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IXISHADOW Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 My mum owed me £300 and the rest is from birthday presents from various people. I also have £110 XBL credit so that will go towards some stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
