Well, today I was in our little local Toys R Us Store and believe it or not, there was a set-up of the XBOX 360! People were waiting in lines to play this 1 game that it had in it, it took me 30 minutes to get to the front! There was also an employee there keeping track of how long we played it (which like each person got 5 minutes), but it was worth it!

As I was reaching my point in line the thing looked absolutly awesome! I had seen some of he brand new games coming out, and more new stuff that ever before! The XBOX 360 will come with 2 options now, and only 1 has XBOX Live built in! There are also skins that you can buy for either $9.99 or $19.99 for the front of the XBOX 360 that were really cool!

When I reached my spot to play, I saw the new graphics and boy! Are they good! There was some World War 2 game in the system that looked like you were really in Egypt! Even the gory parts of it were good! The rules were a tad strict though on the game, but it came with quotes of old WWII soldiers and captains! In addition to the game, the controllers are really cool too! They are smaller than the old XBOX's (which was smart) and are white with the sphere XBOX Logo in the middle! All the controlls are the same as the old XBOX as well, so that old players dont have to get used to anything new!

Well, the XBOX 360 is to release where I live on Tuesday, the 22nd, so stop by and reserve your copy today!

Hope any of this info will help!

On Topic: Call Of Duty 2 was playing on the XBOX 360 when I tested it also.

Off Topic: Anyone have a PSP? If so, how are they?

i have a PSP they are so cool! i have a few games and movies on it, it holds pictures and music too. The graphics of the system are great and the power time is awesome (charge it for like 3 hours get 6 hours of play time!) It is definitely my kind of system!

YES! thanks i couldnt remeber the game! It was Call of Duty 2!

I have a PSP! They are pretty cool! The best part i think is the internet that you can get on it, and then playing online! The graphics are ok on some games and good on most!

you actually waited half an hour just to play that? if so, then it really must be good if you were willing to take the time to play.

the core package is 299.99 dollars. and the premium is 399.99 dollars without tax. I reserved mine on September 3rd and was put on the 2nd shipment! I am so made because they said i wont get it till early 06!!!!!!So i got back my 433 dollars and im off the camp infront of my local Bestbuy...First come first served!!
Ps.: Every xbox has Xbox capabilities..though.. you need a hard drive for a memory unit to play it on the core package. With both 360's you get free xbox live silver but you have to pay 50 dollars to get xbox live gold.

Is you plan on getting the 360 games you HAVE to get Kameo, PGR 3 and Perfect Dark Zero..../

I already have an Xbox 360 :) And I already have the best racing game there will be:NEED FOR SPEED MOST WANTED with all those cool improved cars and they even have my brothers car the BMW M3 :) I always wondered what it was like to tune up my own bros car.

I have already paid my off...The sad thing is I don't get one tonight...They will be out in 2 hours and I won't get one even though I paid for it :( Oh well they called me today and said that Next Tuesday is when I will recieve mine which is pretty good!!

Microsoft shouldn't have released the XBOX 360 world wide...That was the problem...I ordered mine from GameStop and they are only getting 6 in tonight at the mid-night release...So it is sad...But at least mine is paid off and I don't have to worry about it!! :)

Good luck to everyone who's off to wait in line to get a 360. My sad, but adorable husband pre-ordered his back is May, has it paid for, and will luckily get his tomorrow. For the last few days he has been getting games for the system already. He has been looking forward to this for some time now, so much so that he is gonna call into work tomorrow so that he can play all day long and into the night...will I ever see him again?...hee hee...

I heard that Target had people lined outside to get the new X-box. They were sleeping in their cars waiting for Target to open. When it did people ran inside and the X-boxes were gone in less then 5 minutes!! WOW!!

I hadn't really thought of getting the 360 during the time when you could actually pre-order it. (a big mistake on my part!) Then, like 2 days before it was realeased I heard aabout how good the graphics were. I went with my dad to Target becaused he needed to get something (I also really wanted to see if you could play a sample of the XBOX 360 in-store). Sure enough, there it was on display. I played it for a few minutes, then left once my dad got what he needed. That ould have been mychance to pre-order it. But for some reason I was acting stupid and thought they would still be available before Christmas. Now here it is, almost a week after that day, and you can only get an XBOX 360 for like 700 bucks.
I've been wondering if any of you using this board know any places where you can get the new xbox for under $500. If so, please tell me.

Thanks,
Josh

I saw somewhere at the mall I go to that it was on display for $400.00, and on the website it says it is $300.00!

Yeah, sure they said the price, but was it actually in-stock?

Personally, I feel that game developers should have stopped creating game systems at the PlayStation 2. One man got his hands on the 360, and two men followed him home and robbed him at gun point of it. Since the XBox shipments are on hiatus until Christmas, folks were selling them on Ebay for over $3,000.

I need to give a warning to anyone that is going to buy a Xbox 360 Do not i repeat Do not play it for over 4 hours

Also there are two types of 360. There is 360 core and normal. The core you need to buy the memory and so on and that is $400.00 and the normal comes with memory and some extras that is $500.00. The only reason i know all this my dad owns a video store and i watch the news,.

The original xbox has sharper graphics than the PS2 and Gamecube. Xbox was not as famous as PS2 because not many trusted microsoft making game systems because they were used to computers. The xbox 360 is not 300 dollars just for graphics but it is 300 dollars because of the new design, xbox live built in, and i think the controllers are all wireless but that is just what i have seen on t.v. The major reason for buying the 360 is because of Halo 3 coming out the second quarter of next year, but that is just my opinion. Not many games i would reccomend for it yet but in a while they will kick it into gear. i would reccondmend buying the xbox 360, but if it is too pricy for you try the regular xbox for now and wait until the price drops down. I have both a PS2 and Xbox and i like the Xbox better and i am pretty tired of people getting the a PS2 because it sold more units than Xbox. And people chose PS2 because of it's previous form the PS1 (which i really liked). This is just my opinion

Marathon Man that was a very good speech and a long one at that and i hear what your saying and i would say that wasn't an opinion that was the truth. I have an Xbox, Gamecube, and Ps2 and i go with all the stuff you say. Also the PGR 3 for race car fans is only coming out on Xbox 360 (lame)
