Xbox 360 Preorder - whats on your list?

squarejawhero · 10-07-2005, 04:52 AM

Well, I won't be getting it on release - I'm too late for one thing. BUT it's ordered and so are three games.

Dead Or Alive
Oblivion
Test Drive Unlimited

Should keep me going. What's on your list?

SakSquash · 10-07-2005, 06:31 AM

My friend planted the seed of doubt in my mind about preordering, so I won't be getting one at launch. I'm going to wait just a little while in case of any recall problems they might face. But, if I were to get it, i'd probably wouldn't get any games with it since none of the launch titles don't really do it for me, and the ones that really do, i'll be getting on PC.

I havn't preordered one yet.

Have they sold out the lauch consoles already because I don't believe that. There are always consoles on the shelf on lauch day to do otherwise would be bad business.

Games I want:

Oblivion
Resident Evil 5
Gun
Gears of War
Condemned
Ghost Recon
Alan Wake

What the...Resident Evil 5? That's a launch game? I'm way confused.

Nah not a launch game, but hey it looks good.

SakSquash · 10-07-2005, 07:23 AM

It's coming out on xbox?

SoccerDude28 · 10-07-2005, 07:37 AM

If I were to get it on launch (which I'm not), I would get with it Kameo and Gears of War. All the other games are either sports/racing games which don't interest me, or I prefer to play them on the PC.

No, he listed it for fun.

That heartless bastard!

Anyway, square, I hope that when you do get it you'll come back and give us a full report on it? What package are you going with?

The high-end pack. If you're gonna spend that much, spend it properly I say! It's only £50 more for the hard drive and loads of extra bits.

I'm not going for a game package deal though. They're far too expensive.

SakSquash · 10-07-2005, 08:54 AM

Do you know if there will always be two packages to choose from, or is that only on launch?

squarejawhero · 10-07-2005, 09:28 AM

I've no idea. Some places say it's limited... I'm not taking any chances!

Intrepid Homoludens · 10-07-2005, 12:49 PM

I haven't pre-ordered anything. I'll wait a month or so before getting the deluxe version and Oblivion (that's a good 50+ hours right there, so I don't need any other games for a while). Right now I'm saving up for a new laptop, which is FAR more important.

squarejawhero · 10-07-2005, 01:10 PM

Good luck on getting one before xmas.

Intrepid Homoludens · 10-07-2005, 01:11 PM

I'm not even gonna try getting one by Xmas. It's okay, I can wait a bit longer.

squarejawhero · 10-07-2005, 01:14 PM

My thing is, if I'm gonna spend the money, I'm going to spend it. I don't care if it doesn't turn up straight away, but the sooner I have it the sooner I'm playing it. I'm not normally interested in consoles, but imo these ones represent a far bigger leap graphically than the ps2 and xbox on their release.

Then next year, if I'm working, vive la revolucion.

Those are the same games I have pre-ordered. Too bad Test Drive Unlimited has been delayed until 2006. I have already payed for my 360, the two games, an extra controller, extra battery, and the play-and-charge kit. My Gamestop told me they will let the completely paid off people in to the store first, and then take the people that still need to finish paying.
