Who's Gettin an xbox 360?

[jawwad2004]

For all you videogame fanatics out there, how many of you guys is gettin the new xbox 360 which is going to be released this November? I know I am! I was kind of hesitant to do so, so I never got a chance to reserve it, so now I have to wait in front of CircuitCity/Bestbuy/Target or Kmart to get my hands on one. My brothers and I are going to find out what these stores are planning for the launch of the console and we are going to head out the night of Nov. 22nd and wait till the morning of the 23rd to get our hands on one, so if anyone else is crazy like us, please let me know so we can meet, I'll probably bring a thermos full of hot coco!

didnt they say wait for Microsoft to reSolve the hard drive issue :irked:

Tell billy I want one for free

I'll be getting one no doubt, aside from PSP I haven't played a game in ages due to the lack of HDTV/16x9 on the PS2. I never had an original xbox.

I don't know if I am going to wait in line to buy one at midnight, sounds like fun though. From what I have heard, there won't be a shortage so I'll just pick one up unreserved on the release day.

What hard drive issue? From what I am reading, Microsoft was actually thinking about pushing up the date earlier then the 23rd! I mean even if there is an issue, I know Microsoft will replace them just like they did with the power cords on the current xbox systems.

I'm not going to take my chances, because Sony was saying the same thing about their psp's and when I went to pick one up the day after it was relaesed, sold out everywhere!

i'm trying to sell my PSP i never played it i even have all the accessories for it. The metal carry suitcase, headphones, earpeice, 2 game, Need 4 speed and NBA. I never really enjoyed it

 

[jawwad2004]

I know, I am glad I didnt buy one! I played my boy's and it just gets boring after a while. Never was much of a handheld person, besides the old gameboy games! Those were the best. I'll probably get a psp after a few price drops,lol.

I have good luck getting things on release day. I picked up two PSPs on day 1 without reservations (one for my brother). Microsoft has an excellent supply chain, and since they are actually moving the date up, I think there will be enough to go around.

I still have to figure out how to get another HD input on my TV though. Most likely I will be doing it with component until the prices on HDMI "hubs" come down.

 

[jawwad2004]

I am purchasing a HDTV from Dell just for this system.

Mark,

Do you have Hot Shots Golf for PSP? It is worth having a PSP just for that game, no joke. I don't even like golf games, its just so addictive.

I think GTA comes out this month as well.

 

[jawwad2004]

For those of you getting the xbox 360, what game/s will you guys be getting.

 

[Cloud1921]

I'll def have an xbox 360 sometime the day before or on the release date.

The PSP has enormous potentional considering what you can do with the earlier firmwares.
The line up of games aren't that great aside from Madden 2006, but hey! Nintendo DS is in a similar situation as well. It's still behind the shadows of its Gameboy Advance counterpart. Since I'm an RPG fan, I'm really looking forward to the US release of Breath of Fire or a possible port of FF7.

With the way these console games are going just build yourself a killer pc and play PC games. Microsoft admits that they are moving the Xbox closer and closer to a PC so they can sell the games to console and pc gamers without making seperate software. And if there is anything good you want to play on your pc that is a console platform game there arfe always emulators.

 

[KuyaMark]

Hey Josh Saul that game is so addicting I never played golf b4 but now I 'm addicted to it like a reef tank lol

 

[jawwad2004]

Hey just to let you guys know, on IGN, they are forecasting a sellout of the 360's on launch day according to the numbers they recieved from Microsoft, and preorders on ebay are breaking the 600 dollar mark for the premium system which is valued at 400. Heads up!

I'll be getting the Nintendo Revolution- would get the xbox as well but don't ahve too much time anymore to play The new nintendo will allow you to download pretty much every game they have ever made before Gamecube- super mario bros and zelda here I come!

 

[jawwad2004]

Ehhh. . .Nintendo tries to hard to be "unique" and in the midst they lose a bunch of potential customers. All they have now are loyalists.
