The topic says it all.
Just state how much you have saved up for the 360.
If you already have it paid off, then you may state.
Me :
Currently Saved up : $357
Needed: $193
The 360 for me, with what I am getting (after tax) should be around $500. I think it is the most I have ever spent on one thing ( at a time)....

I have about $2,500....
if this thing looks good once it launches, then I may buy it ;)
Edit:
Canadian Currency, so....the equivalent of paying with tea leaves...
$2,500 CAD, isnt that like a buck? :cool:

letsee...as of now I have AU$5,480 which equates to something like US$4,121.51 or 247.91 grams of pure GOLD!
HOWEVER, this money that I've been saving for the past 2 years is for a car, which I shall be purchasing in January. So...say I have AU$6,000 by then, I'd be spending maybe $4,000 on a car w/ registration, which leaves me with around $2,000 then I'd be spending another AU$600->700 on the wireless x360 bundle pack and a game, and whatever I have left over will go towards my custom built PC which will commence construction after I buy the car and x360...
'course here's hoping I'd have more than that, and I most likely will seeing as how as of today I no longer have school and can work more hours...

I have currently got £325 in my bank and £80 sat by my bed.
I just spent £50 on a Leedsd Rhinos season ticket and need a hundred for my school trip to Spain next year (spending money)
I have a job though so that should keep it flowing in and I should be ale to afford one.
Only got £130 in my bank right now, so I need to start saving or selling more on eBay. Also depends on whether I wait until Christmas or not and get financial help from my folks.
Ive got £200 and something but £80 is going on seeing Foo Fighters and Feeder :D

I won't need to pay anything, i'm getting it for christmas lol
I've already pre-ordered the thing. I was suprised to hear that the store I pre-ordered it from was receiving the XBOX360 on December 2:nd... I know, that's the official launchdate here in Europe, but this is a small-ass town that's usually late with everything. Not only that, I'm third on the list so I'm actually getting my XBOX360 on the first wave. I just had to get a pizza after that!

I have enough to get anything I want for it.
However I can't get it unless I have straight A's which is a -----. But I'm almost there. The good thing is though that if I get straight A's I pretty much don't have to pay for it :D

^^^yea same here

sooo i have to save up all over again. i should have enough once it is available to buy.
:cool:
you like ninjas, i like ninjas, get ninjas
Well you know the answer to that, DON'T speed (if you can help it). I myself have £100 so far, and when I get my first paycheck through from my job in November sometime, then I will have more than enough for my 360 (hopefully)!
£80 I have...Need to find some more money somewhere...

Currently Saved - £20
Thank god for Credit Cards with a chance of putting my limit up. Otherwise it's spend no cash in Catalunya next week and stick the £150 away for a Xbox.
Or sell my body to research, there's an option.....
I've put 225$ down. I have the money already. Just waiting for launch and the call from the store saying that my 360 is in ;)

I have already finished saving up, I have saved up about $700. It was easy to save up because me and my brother were both pitching in money.

I have a copy of Perfect Dark Zero and the Matrix: Path of Neo reserved and paid off in full.
I put a 360 on preorder back in June and have $60 left before I pay it off completely.

Got enough at the moment for the console and a couple of games, probably recieve a few extras (controllers, more games etc) for my birthday on the 4th December and Christmas. Just before Christmas I'm due a tax rebate, then my student loan 2nd payment comes on 2nd week of January (though this will be used for books and travelling I should have some money to spare for a few games).
Looking forward to next year though, finally be qualified as a teacher, have a job and for the first time in my life earning more than £200 p/w and first thing I'll be buying is an HDTV.
Man, I've saved up a whole bunch of Benjamins, I've already lost count... but I got enough to buy the premium package, the HDTV (which I already bought), some games, a couple of pizzas, chips, Coke and a package of bandaids for my little thumbs! :D

I'll probably be broke after I get my car and my gaming PC...but I'm not planning on getting a 360 on launch anyway (around April in Australia <_<). Though July sounds nice! I'll be getting my tax return then...last year I got over AU$1300, which is like 2 360's at the current price..
