What's a Wal-Mart at midnight? I don't even go in there during daylight hours unless someone (read as "Mrs. Stingray")  makes me go.

Ooh, so the 360 is coming out. Now time to wait a few weeks for the price of used X-Boxes to fall into the toilet. I may actually buy one.

I'm thinking of getting a 360 after christmas.  See what I get for gift cards for christmas.

Plus I have a first gen toshiba dvd player.  The 360 would become my new DVD player.  Actually, it will replace a couple of boxes so for me it's worth the price instead of buying a bunch of new stuff.  Otherwise $400 is tough to handle.

Plus it's a system that is just asking to be hacked with that removable HD.  I hae a feeling some cool hacks and emulators will be out on it.  And 1st gens are usually the ones to get for hacking.

If I had the cash to drop on a 360 I'd probably drop it on a pinball machine.

Or a stripper, whichever I found first.

That's what I'm doing - and it doesn't even require camping out in the cold.

I'm looking to get NFS, Perfect Dark, and Condemmed.
Ridge Racer and NBA 2K6 are possibilities.

Yepp, not interested in Project Gotham.  I never liked the kudo system.  I will wait for Forza.
I'd get Madden if they didn't take out a bunch of features.  So next year.
That marble game looks like a good time waster.

If I could use keyboard and mouse with COD2 then I'd get that.

The initial lineup of 360 games doesn't impress me at all, the graphics in them aren't much better then whats on PCs or XBox and the gameplay seems to be more of the same.

I wish I'd preordered so I could sell it on Ebay.  The first next-gen system I'll get is the Revolution.  Beyond that I'm currently more interested in the PS3 than the Xbox 360.  But that doesn't matter cos I won't be getting either of them during their first year of release, so we'll see how the cards are falling by the time they are more affordable.  I won't get both, though.

What possible reason is there to get an Xbox 360 now?  Not a single game makes me go "WOW"

I'll wait for Halo 3..... Then I'll be on a line at midnight.

I find this funny about people.  Just because Halo or Forza isn't in the release people seem to think there aren't good games coming out on the 360.

I think COD2 is a very good reason if you are into FPS.  Same is Condemmed, looks to be just as scary as FEAR.

Project Gotham does look like an awesome racer, but i never liked kudos so I can understand that.

The problem I see with the release titles is they seem to be mainly racing, sports, or FPS.  There really isn't a large diversity.

For me, I love arcade racers, so NFS is a good reason to get the 360.

I will get one after christmas.  I definately want a early gen model, that way when hacks come out I have a bios that isn't patched :)

There are a few games I want from the launch window lineup.

The one I want most is DOA 4. DOA:U was some awesome fun on Live, and I imagine 4 will be even better.


Also...

As Sir Poonga pointed out. The earlier gen models are gonna be the ones to own when hacks start making their way out.

I have preordered mine so I shouldn't have to camp out too long.  I have given some thought into putting it on ebay and if I can get double what I payed for it I just might.  I'm going with Perfect Dark right now for launch I hope Rare has created a game that is more then just a standard FPS.  Once Dead or Alive 4 comes out I will probably get it. I can't wait until Gears of War comes out.

I'm definately getting an early mode as soon after christmas as I can.
I'm one of those people that get a paycheck every other week, so at least twice a year I get an extra paycheck.  I don't budget for that so that ends up as extra money to do whatever with.  I will get a 360 with it.  I was thinking I should get a hidef tv then.  Unfortunately that is slightly out of reach.  AND I want 2 GPWiz49s with two 49way joys and an ledwiz.  So I think hidef tv will be the summer extra paycheck.  I will probably pick up a vga cable.  I have my arcade right next to my home theater system.  Or I have an extra 19" vga monitor I could set on the coffee table for now :)

Does anyone know if oyu can surf the internet with it?  That;s one thing I liked about the dreamcast.

You know whats sad... the going rate for a Xbox 360 is now around $800 - $1000 on ebay.  People who pay double or 3x the price have way to much money.

Can't Wait to get my hands on one!

If anyone gets one - let us know how
the games are that you picked up.

It will be nice to hear from people that actually
have one and have played the games rather
than opinions from speculators.
How can anyone not be excited about something "new"?!?

Its time to end all the hype and let us know
what it's really like.

I'm going to go nuts since I won't have mine for another
week or two or 3... :(
...so I will ask you... "Deal, or No Deal?"

If I don't get one for Xmas, It'll be on order December 26th.  I want a first gen for the same reason:  Security issues in the launch version will make it easier to mod than its successors.  It's a pretty powerful machine, and I think that it'll really have some impressive features if it can be modded like the original xbox.

or instead of wasting your money on an xbox 1.5, you could just wait about 6 months and any good game that comes out for the 360 will be ported to the pc.  just like halo, and knights of the old republic, etc. etc etc.  personally, thats why i never bought an xbox in the first place.  i wanted to play halo and KOTOR but i dont need to if MS is going to port them to the pc.  stupid microsoft and their crappy ignorance about consoles.

Good use of the $$$.
One you get to play with little balls anytime you want.
Other one gets limited ball playing but great when she rings the bell.

A fraction of the XBox games came out on the PC... you make it sound like
everything eventually makes it to the PC.

Not so.

What?  There are no modchips in production for Xbox360.  Teams are researching it and trying to crack it.  Gimme a break.  We won't see a mod chip for months, if even in the first year.

First year? Seems like with the past gen, they started coiming out amazingly early. Or am I remembering wrong?

Plus, you like wasting 2x or 3x as much money keeping your computer
'up to date' to play all the latest games? 
If you are willing to 'beef' up your PC for a couple years with a top
of the line video card, you are still spending more than a XBOX system.
That's why I have been moving more to consoles for game.  It's expensive to keep a computer up to date in order to play the latest and greatest game.  The only games I really play on a PC now are games that suck on consoles - like FPS, flight sims, RTS, etc...  Any thing good in those genres came out a long time again.  I haven't seen anything new that is good for any of those (except FPS).

I don't know why people have been calling the xbox 360 an xbox 1.5.  Technologically it is astounding.  If you compare the xbox to the 360 the 360 is far more advanced.
I think the two main reasons people are calling it the xbox 1.5 is because it doesn't support blu-ray (whoopty-do, I'd rather wait a year or two when the technology is cheaper) and no "killer" launch title.  Because to xbox fanboys if it doesn't release with halo or forza it isn't worth it.  I am a big sports game fan so I love the release.  Almost EA's entire console library is there.  Project Gotham and Condemmed look pretty worth too.

Plus, you like wasting 2x or 3x as much money keeping your computer
'up to date' to play all the latest games? 
If you are willing to 'beef' up your PC for a couple years with a top
of the line video card, you are still spending more than a XBOX system.

I've got to go w/ the SirP on this one.  This is the EXACT reason why I no longer use my computer for games.  If I use my computer only for Internet/Word Processing/Software development I only have to upgrade it every couple of years to get full use out of it.  If I use it for games, and I want to play the game the way it was meant to be played with full graphical effects, I'd have to spend HUNDREDS every few months.  Sure you can play it with dumbed down graphics, but what's the point.

Instead, I make the decision to once every 5 years or so buy the newest console.  I spend $300-$400, and I'm damn sure that My game looks JUST AS GOOD as it does on anyone elses xbox 360.  I don't have to be an elitest hardware snob to see it in all its glory.

And all console games don't come out for PC.  And even if they do, I'd still rather play a game, with friends, on a couch with everyone sitting around and easily taking turns.  PC Games are great when you're playing BY YOURSELF, but if you  have friends who visit at all, it's so much better to have a console.

Those are my reasons at least.
