So last night I stayed up till 12 in the morning to be the 8th person in the Gamestop in the Willobrook mall to get an X-Box 360 lol. It was well worth it i think. Got the console with 2 games, but I think I'll be playing Perfect Dark Zero the most hah. I know of alot of people who got screwed by Microsoft and didn't get an xbox (me being one of those people). But luckly I have brothers and one of them preorderd one but ended up not being able to pay for it in time so I got his hah. Hes tring to be a dick now and saying that as soon as he has the money hes gona give me the money and take my X-Box no questions asked. I'd love to see him try hahah. Anyways, just really excited that i finaly got the system and I can't wait to get home and try it out.

Oh and i also heard of a douch bag who was parading around Best Buy parking lot holding his X-box out of his car window. lol needless to say someone got sick of it and pulled the snatch and run and ran into some woods lol. Looks like he got what he had coming to him lol. I also heard that Target had 50 X-box's on preorder and told people they were releasing at 12 at night and there was such a big line at 7 oclock that they just sold all their x-box's to people who didnt even have pre orders.... If i were one of those people who DIDNT get an xbox I probably would have had pressed charges haha some how. lol

Anyone else here Preorder one?

Nope I'll wait till next month or so before I get one.

On a side note I wonder if this whole limited release isn't on purpose to get the product splashed across so many news reports so it'll generate that gotta have it and boost sales. They claim production problems on the limited supply I call Bull!!!!!

Waiting for the PS3.

Check ebay and look at the prices people are paying for this thing. Wish I had a couple to take advantage of the "Gotta have it Idiots"

Yeah, I'm going to wait a while until the rush dies down a bit. I want to see what other games are coming out. I want to check 'Scarface'. I must admit that when I saw the 360 demo on a LCD screen, I started to drool.

That guy who ran into the woods got what he deserved. Smart a$$!

BTW, it's Microsoft's evil plan. They said they were going to have around 500,000 systems ready and they had 300,000 systems ready as of last night.

Let's see what PS3 will bring...

I think Xbox360 is the only new one for Christmas. I don't think the others are due out until 2006. I also heard the number of games that will be available to x360 will be second to none.

I'll keep playing my regular Xbox until 360 gets down to the $200 or less range, in a couple of years.

x2

Well luckily for me the wife gets 10% off and we just got a coupon from Wallys world for an additional 10% so when I'm ready I'll get mine for 20% below sticker.

Thats what I said until I woke up this morning. After calling all Best Buys, Targets, Toysrus's, Shopkos, K-Marts and Sears I have given up and am forced to wait. I've never seen anything like it. Usually when people pre-order things you can walk into a KMart/Toysrus and pick it up no problem. This is kind of insane. Also PS3 looks pretty slick, but if after seeing the console itself/the controllers I was not impressed.

Man you should throw the thing on ebay in a few weeks. Then you could buy yourself and your brother new ones in a couple months after the craze. Probably still have a little cash left over.

just looked

btw, what part of town are you in?

does anybody know a for sure date on the PS3 release date? I'm seeing dates like March 2006!! I think that this is horrible timing by Sony. If I were selling this I would get it out before Christmas!

Actually Microsoft rushed the Xbox 360 to market early (ala like every other microsoft product)trying to get ahead of the game. Sony is making sure they get it right the first time.

I know right where you're at. I almost bought a house at Louetta and Kukendahl. (I never can spell that right) I'm up by Hardy and 1960. Know any other GP guys in the area? I'd like to have a good local group.

The 360's library will only rival Sonys if you get the full-package 360. It's the only one that's fully backwards-compatible. The stripped down version, well, sucks. But if Nintendo ever gets their crap together, it will put both libraries to shame, since it's supposed to be backwards compatible with every system it had before the Revolution. Yes, even Virtua Boy.

But I'm waiting for the PS3. Sony is just awesome. They always seem to know what they're doing. Yay Japanese.
