I've decided to get Xbox 360
 

I'm going to call gamestop right now and see if they're taking preorders on xbox360. If they are, it must be a sign from the gods that I must get one, and thus I will.

Well, that solves that....:shifty: :frusty:

Take it they aren't then? Maybe you should take it as a sign that you should order it from someone else.

Like where?

Don't have the link, but there have been news in the past few days that MS had to cut the planned amount of 360s shipped worldwide. I think the total now is something like 1.3 million, with North America getting the largest amount of consoles, then Europe, then Japan. Already many stores have stopped taking pre-orders, and there's talk of people planning on turning around and re-selling their 360s for a ridiculously higher price to desparate tools willing to pay.

I'm not surprised by all this. I'm planning to get it myself after all the crap has settled down, probably sometime in Febrary next year.

I think you are looking for this No 360's

Tempscars, you can always buy it from me on Ebay for 2000 dollars :D

I did it! Got it at an ebgames the next town over. Thing is, I won't get it on the day it comes out, but I will get it before Christmas according to them. Hopefully i'll still be here (in school) when that happens, or it'll be a long drive from home to get it (3 hours).

I put $300 down on the premium package. I didn't get a game though, because i'm not too thrilled with any of the launch titles, and the ones I am thrilled with I plan on getting for PC. But we'll see once reviews start flowing in. I have my eye on the Ghost Recon game and that game called Gun.

You did not get the wireless controller and the harddrive and the HD cables? Are you nuts?

He said he put $300 down on the premium package, not the core package.

Oh sorry, I thought he payed that much for the console. Wow 300 down? My EBGames took 50 dollars down about 4 months back.

Why not just go to a retail store like Best Buy...they usually don't take pre-orders.

There's no way i'd get through those lines in time.

I Pro-order when it first time when it was announces so I am happy with my Order of the Xbox 360

What you do is you stay outside the store early in the morning 4-5 am and wait for the place to open. (bring food, drinks, books and games to keep you occupied)

Oh man I totally wanted to! I've never bought a console at launch before and I figured this time I would get to do the whole spend the night outside of a store thing, but nahhh, they'll just call me, let me know it's in, and i'll go get it. Kinda anti-climatic.

You can still do it...nothing to stop you, heck turn it into a tailgate type thing, take your car and a grill and have a BBQ in the parking lot.

Hahah. I don't have a car. Nah, i'll just stick with what i've got. Like I said, i'm in no hurry to play the launch games, so I can wait an extra month.

:crazy: What is this?! Some kind of weird console geek rite of passage?!

what good is a console without a game to play on it?

Oh don't worry. The games are a'comin'.... ;)

It comes with a game by Alexey Pajitnov. I call that worth $300 :)

Yes, because we all know it's going to be released without games.

Actually, it was a response to trepsies plan to buy the console but no games on launch...


:pan: :pan: :pan: :frusty: :spam: :kiss: :z :crazy:

When I finally get my 360, the first game I want for it will be Oblivion so I can drool and lick the TV screen and get electrocuted.

Let me get that for you -

Myself

I have 3 regular xbox games leftover that I couldn't sell when I sold my xbox, i'm hoping one of them will be backwards compatable with my 360. I'm just not too floored by the launch games. This may change once reviews start coming in. Then I might pick up a game or two when I go get it (depending on my cash flow that is. I'm jobless at the moment).

Does it really come with a game or was that just some sort of cruel joke? :frusty:

But like Trep said, the games are'a comin, so it's all good. Launch games have a history of sucking ass.

Yes, its a puzzle game that ships with the hard drive, and for those who missed it from Tabacco's name dropping its by the guy who made Tetris...

Wonder if it sucks....

Apparently its quite addictive but I'm sure you'll hate it, or at least be one of the first to disparage it :)

Why would I hate it? I love puzzle games!

No comment? Is this because of Bone?

Oh god, I'm really starting to lean towards the 360 now... :frusty:

Yesterday, I even found myself comparing prices of various games and accessories. I think I might actually have to get one, despite the fact that I'm not really interested in any of the launch titles (with the exception of Kameo).

I think Microsoft may have gotten a hold of me... :frown:

I'm thinking of going with Perfect Dark Zero for when I pick mine up. People are saying great things about it.

...yessss, come to the dark side, Nordic Guy... :devil:





:9

In the very wise words of darth vader....

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

:shifty: Erm, the 360 is white by default.

Wow spending 300 dollars for a console without a single game while u could buy it half the price with a game one christmas later
