Anybody here going to get the new Xbox 360 console come March 23rd?

I for one, cant wait!
Played a demo of it at Harvey Norman last weekend. Definetly going to be a blast.
Only problem is they will be costing $650 and each game around $100-110.
But I guess thats the same as every other game console that comes out.

I've already got $400 saved and its still over a month away so no trouble here.
Who else is planning on getting one at launch?
Anybody else much of a console gamer on these forums? I see my Need for Speed thread was pretty popular so theres gotta be a few people here.

Yep my bros a manager at harvey Norman so ill get one dirt cheap an games will cost ME about 70 max...suckers

Ill probably just wait till halo3 comes out tho cus thats all i really play besides V8 supercars.
That damn playstation is going to be better tho from what i hear...

I got to play Perfect Dark Zero at harvey norman that was really fun and the graphics are impressive.
I'm gonna get my 360 from Electronics Boutique and do a trade in deal with my old xbox and some games so I can buy the new system for only $499.

make sure u get the upgrade pack if they have them or ull regret it

I wouldn't get one...
Knowing Micro$oft, they would have embedded basically every kind of anti-piracy method they possibly can, and I bet that half the processing power of the thing will be used to see if the game is real or not. I'm not saying that it's bad because you won't be able to play pirated games, but I think it'll be too heavily restricted to be a versatile system.

Not worth the money IMO. Console gaming is one bandwagon MS never should have jumped on.

lookin foward for the nintendo revolution, looks impresive, u can download previous games for previous consoles via the internet for it, i like old games really, also another wired yet kewl lookin remote controle device

but really not that psp is out, thats all u need

360 s0x

Actually the Xbox360 is the most advanced gaming system on the market right now, unless you have thousands of $$$ and can afford a super high end PC designed for hardcore gaming.
But the specs on the new Xbox are pretty phenomenal. I wont go into detail cause I'll just confuse the lot of you. :evil_laug
But from what I've read, the PS3 and Xbox360's hardware while different in the way they approach design are capable of similar results.

Alot the games coming out, played on a high definition TV will definetly fool people who dont play video games much into believing these games are producing real life graphical quality. :

[-jjM-]

after reading some specs in a few magazine, the ps3 and xbox have some differenceces but the graphics will be prity much exacly the same

as for pcs, really there ownin pcs now, unless u get dual cpu, 4gbz ram, dual graphics, insane sound and 1tb of space, then ull own anything, ull own a car :P

[micksta]

apprently there been that many pre-orders that u wont be able to get one at launch at a store .. unless its one of those myer thingo's or whatever.

but HELL YEAH im getting one

[Polyal]

lol..ive always been a sony guy...I dont know why but I am very brand loyal...

although I think my gaming days are slowly coming to an end...ive spent way to much on games lately..and not backups either..speaking of which I need to revive a thread...nfs: mw

[EA_Bender]

nah, i might decide to have a life, venture outside and get some fresh air. Computer games should be banned so kids (and adults) dont end up on the biggest loser.....

[klawsterfobik]

way to generalize :

i wont be buying one when they come out, simply because i have better things to spend my money on. I might consider trading in my xbox though... i really cant justify spending that much money on a gaming console.

I waited 2 - 3 years before i bought an xbox, ill probably end up doing the same with the 360, even though it looks rather impressive

[Lukeyson]

damn right i am

[XR8 Uterous]

I think il wait about a month or two before i get either the PS3 or XBOX360, they both drop like $150 after a couple months...

[aimzes]

only stayed with sony for gt4. it sucked, so now i can go either xbox or sony... although im not getting one till the price drops a bit so i have a fair bit of time to decide which is best.

[347_XR8]

I've heard that there using Microsoft software, if this is the case they will be out-dated before they come out :

[micksta]

well they reckon that the X360 is better then the average gaming computer right now.

never been a fan of sony .. even though they have been out longer lol

[pertuan]

Hell no! Its way too expensive when they first come out. But then again, I'm usually too busy to be playing Xbox anyway. :P

[I bleed ford]

i'll get the sony....after a fair bit of research i think the sony is the better machine but hey, its just my opinion...and they will never stop piracy me hearteeeesss arrrr arrr!

[XA_GT351]

I preodered mine lastweek with the Vga cable with the launch title The elder scrolls 4 Oblivion which i have been waiting years for, awsome game

[FGX-351]

ps3 for me although i have always been a nintendo mark
