MAY 13th update, a few stores are now taking preorders. Please post your finds so we can compile a list and see which store is the cheapass way with the least amount of money up front.




Any place takin preorders yet?

I'd hate to have to sleep outside for this like i did for the PS2 I wanna get my preorder in as early as possible.


I've only bought 2 systems on release day and this will make #3. Other 2 were PS2 and DS. (DS i've since sold)

Nope, I might at GameRush (credit) when they become available or more details are known...I'm going to assum after May 12th things will become clear.

I've never preordered a system before, but I might for the Xbox 2. I occasionaly ask Gamerush if they have an Xbox 2 system or any Xbox 2 games in their system every once in a while, but no luck so far. I would love to use their 2 for 29.99 deal on some Xbox 2 titles.

I haven't seen of anyone preordering it yet. I'm on a list to notified by my local EB when they can start taking them though.

ill be first to post it, when you can buy it, or even know how much its gonna cost you

no intention of even considering such silliness until backwards compatibility is confirmed.
I have way too many existing x1 games to play through, not to mention a bunch of oldschool games on the xbox (sf2, megaman, metal slug, etc etc) that i bought specifically so i could have older games on a single system

Wait till a few more details surface. After E3 we should have an idea of what to expect as far as graphics and performance

No but I'm sure after E3 EB and GS will allow pre-orders.
I'm just wondering if I could score some "cheap ass" overnight or 2nd day shipping on the system Don't know if I wanna wait in line at EB,GS or Wal-Mart at midnight this year.

my guess is that microsoft is not going to require you to drop your xbox off a five-story building as a pre-condition to purchase the xbox 360

Yeah, I'm definitely willing to pre-order my first system when the option becomes available for the Xbox 360.

i hope that gamerush starts to preorder them when everyone else starts to as well cuz all that burning credit has to be used.

Agreed....this is why I keep my credit up. I haven't really got too many new games either....just credit. Although, I do have about 6 pre-orders

I might preorder the Xbox 2. I havn't decided yet.

I don't think I am going to preorder Xbox 360...

(Pretty sure Revolution will be preordered, and maybe PS3...)

revolution is a definete for me, because they are the kings of 1st party titles

XBOX360 has a pretty good chance, since im loving its shipping titles, and theres going to be a big order to fill then, also backwards compatibility

PS3 it all depends on how revolutionary it is, and whether its backwards compatible, and if its gonna have some good 1st party titles

Systems in the past I've pre-ordered were N64, Dreamcast, and PS2. I actually put down the full amount for the PS2, 11 months before it's release date. For Xbox and GameCube I waited in line the morning of the respective systems's release date.

If EB/GameStop forces their customers to purchase X360 as part of a bundle, then I'll have to wait in line at Best Buy or Target rather than pre-order.

I never even thought about that.................

But why buy an XBOX 360 if you are only going to buy the system with nothing else? If the system does not include a harddrive (which counts as a big memory card), I am going to want a memory card to save my games. Of course not to mention I will want to play a new game on the system whether it is Madden Next Gen, Perfect Dark Zero, or Oblivion.

So if a bundle is being offered for the system, memory card, and a game I don't see what the problem is. Even if you plan on trading it away it will still field significant value.

I've been waiting 5 years for a new perfect dark...that's what I want.

I'm pretty sure the CAG nixts has pre-ordered one at EB. I remember something about it back when the EB/TRU trade in deals were going on.
