who here is picking up an xbox 360?

[Turtledude2k3]

I own an xbox but I only got like 2-3 games for it.. I know it's sad but I don
t have alot of money to buy games.. So I was just thinking..

Who here is going to pick up an xbox 360? I am going to start saving up and by a few months I hsould have enough..

[Cerpin Taxt]

To go back against everything I believe in...

I probably will.

[Dane E5R]

I will eventually.

[ThirdMarioBro]

I have mine preordered on the second shipment hopefully comming in December with Kameo. I hope it arrives on time.

Go Ridge Racer.

[Barkworm]

I will buy one after the prices drop significantly. 400 bucks is way too much.

Yea, pretty much the same story here.

[愛]

I got it preordered. I think I have the first shipment. If not, the second. I can wait, though.

[Peanut]

I pulled my pre-order on mine a week or so ago. While I want to play Oblivion, I've decided to wait. Nothing launching with the system really has me hyped. There's also way too much to play anyways. I don't see a need to jump into the next generation while this one is so active and still pumping out good titles. The DS will own me this Christmas.

[Turtledude2k3]

well it's ok some of you will wait.. I will be gettig it like in jaunrary or feburary so that's ok.. Anywyas, I can't wait for the ds in the hoildays! Mario kart and animal crossing! boo-yah.. Oh yea nad metroid prime hunters!! whoo!

[ThirdMarioBro]

You don't get Hunters until Ferbrary.

[OA]

I'll definately wait until it drops...but I might get the PS3 instead anyways...

[Wingnut]

I'll pick one up eventually, I have too much money invested in other things at the moment and it'll be that way for awhile.

If you're going to wait for the 360 to drop price, you're going to go into cardiac arrest when you see the PS3's price. ken kutaragi, Sony's spokesman, has told pepole in Japan to get second and third jobs to afford a PS3. Not to metion games are going to be a solid 70-80 bucks the whole of the systems life span.

Which is just fu*king wrong and damn cheap.

[Barkworm]

Kutaragi is a douche.

[Cerpin Taxt]

Though Revolution and PS3 games are bound to be around or exactly the same price.

But then again, some N64 games were like, what, $60?

[Barkworm]

Conker's Bad Fur Day was about 85 US-$ in Europe. :| No wonder no one bought it...
SNES games were also between 60 and 75 bucks around here.

With all the comments Nintendo makes and gripes about the rising cost of video games and how they are trying to keep costs down, I seriously doubt their games will run $70-$80.

Their marketing is going twords lower prices as one of the selling points for their system while Microsoft and Sony are trying to justify the high prices they will untimately be charging. The only Xbox360 title I see that dosen't cost $60 is Kameo, and I have no clue why. It's production vaules are one of the few games that would warrent the price. Wierd.

[Kid Icarus]

Well, that and the whole Blu-Ray vs standard DVD. Blu-Ray is uber expensive, both the readers and the discs. HDDVD and standard DVD is much cheaper. So yeah.

[Duke]

I think I'm still getting one on launch day but Money may become an issue so I may need to follow peanut's move and pull out.

I've heard talk of the games being that high but is that a fact? If it is, then that really sux ( I know, serious understatment...) But for real, an average price jump of about $30 is a bit much. Has their marketing genius' figured that the gamin public is ready to shell out that kinda dough for games that are "not really" next gen? And any idea on how much the PS3 will be when it comes out? Is is still around $400?

[Kid Icarus]

Psh. kutaragi's been spouting off figures around $500+.

And yes. Games are going to be expensive. Blu-ray, folks, is still very very expensive. Also, the time it takes to make these games has been increased because of the ammount of detail the graphics are expect to have, and the level of sound they're expecting.

[ThirdMarioBro]

I think we're as far as we're going with sound really. Graphics, well...by the end of this next gen when the hardware is blown apart....well, graphics are screwed. MS and Sony will need something new, but hey, that's 6 years off. No one cares.....yet.

And there's rumors of a price drop next spring for 360 Premimum package after interest cools down.

[OA]

Well, i hope its a significant drop... :)

[Turtledude2k3]

well I won't be getting a 360 but will be getting one sometime soon maybe next year..

I will be saving up for this nice computer I'm getting..
