i played the 360 today
 

I am not a big gamer today at all
was at target today bullshittin around lookin at housewares being a domestic guy with the old lady today and lo-n-behold
a fucking xbox360 setup
I was like sweet - out before the release on it

I normaly dont get excited about a game
but i thought the dude was watching a rendered movie of the games to come out
HE WAS PLAYING THE REAL THING

i had my shot at it and omfg
crisp as FUCK

im not a gamer either
I am so getting one
played the battlefield i think demo
sooo smooth

control was kinda strange though
but ill get used to it

pre ordered the 399$ package and two 60$ game cards that i can get two games with

that's awsome! can't wait to get one myself :)

Which release will yours come in? I'm curious as to how backed up orders are, I need to order mine somewhere.

yo check your local walmart and targets
i guess most of them have em !!! i was truely impressed
going to go get yelled at for a bit about pre getting one LOL

I dunno i pick mine up in december though


i got told at my EB games and gamestop that they cant do anymore preorders

you sure it wasn't call of duty 2 that you were playing? I played it yesterday and it is crazy

could of been
as I said - not a big gamer guy
i was in a old style truck in the back wotgh my gun and started shooting people :)

Sounds like Call of Duty.

Anyone know if Best Buy is taking orders?

I also played the Xbox 360 at Wal-Mart yesterday. They had a demo for Call Of Duty 2 and it was absolutely amazing !!

I have 3 Xbox 360s on pre-order (one for me and one for each of my boys). They're ordered through Ebgames.com, Gamestop.com, and at a local Sam Goody store. All of them were ordered the same day they started taking orders, so I should have all 3 of them on the 22nd :)

I hope you have some big ass HDTV's to do those justice. I'm kicking myself for not ordering one earlier.

only if your a rewards zone member

Actually, I've been preparing for this momment for a while now. I picked up a Samsung 40 inch LCD (LN-R408D) about a month and a half ago because of the Xbox 360, I even pre-ordered the HDMI cable to use to connect it, so I should be set.

As far as my kids go, I bought them each a new 25 inch tv when we bought our house in June, so they're newer, but unfortunately not HDTV compatable. I'll have to see what kind of quality they get on those sets. I hope that I don't have to go back out and buy 2 more new hdtvs for them. They're kids, so they might not be that picky.

You gaming addict, your kids must love your gaming obsession :winkwink: :thumbsup

I won one with ARS but i took the money :food-smil

Rumors are flying that the shortage is just another marketing ploy. The media likes to talk about that "one hot toy that's in short supply" each holiday.

I worked in my buddy's game shop for the XBox/PS2 launches and it was the same thing. "First Shipment" was sold out and the second came in the following day.

Don't sweat it, there will be plenty of them and those who are overpaying for pre-paid spots on eBay will feel like idiots.

I haven't played a game system more than once every few months since 2001... but I saw Call Of Duty on the 360 and I will be picking one up! The new NFL Blitz is looking incredible too.

He he he, yeah, I'm the kind of person that HAS to have the latest gaming toy and buys the latest games, so they benefit. I won't let them touch my PSP though :winkwink:

I wish that my dad was a gamer, but he was the farthest thing from one, ha ha ha.

Can't wait to get my hands on it

Sly camp out at a walmart and hope you get one. Might suck with the lines though.

Seems like I'm one of a breed here, I'm a sony gal...but my friend has the box...I will admit, graphics are better and more fluid and crisp... I'll prolly pick up the 360 and the ps3...both seem pretty tight...

i cant wait to get mine, it'll be my first gaming system since the super nintendo / sega era
