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. |

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.

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.

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.  :

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 |

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.....

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
