I found out from some employees at my local Gamestop that they will start taking Pre-orders of 360 tomorrow after the MTV special.

EB will be taking orders on the 13th as well.

Does that mean they're annoucing a price and a date more specific than "2005"?

who would pre-order a console they havn't had a chance to play yet?

Many, many people. I agree. I have a hard enough time coughing up money for a game I haven't played.

Shit! Better go change my bet!

I hope GameRush does.

I wonder what price they will sell it for? Since they probably won't tell until next week at E3.

GS was doing that this evening, in fact. $50 for a pre-order, and the store I was at was only doing 4 per store.

I don't think that they will have a price when you put the deposit down. You will just be buying a spot in the line. If you change your mind later, they will probably let you use your credit for something else.

A lot of people will preorder several copies to eBay whore at Christmas time when there are not enough to go around. Just to keep them out of the hands of the people who want them.

TBW

in for 50!! thanks!! going straight to ebay right away!!

imma be a rich sumbitch!

I just got asked today if I wanted to be the first person in Gamestop to reserve the XBox 360. Funny since that was at about noon, before the unveiling happened on the east coast.

from what I understand...eb will be taking $20 deposits and each store will have a limit on how many orders they can take.

I'll wind up picking up atleast 4-5 of these if its around Christmas. Screw people that don't pre-order.

I will have one for every room. I wonder what Sony is cooking up to compete. Competition is good. It just means another bad ass system is coming out. I know Sony can compete, but let's hope Nintendo makes something better home console-wise than they did with the DS. My DS at the moment makes for a fancy hockey puck.

I usually get every system at launch, but I didn't with the PSP and I won't with this. There's nothing I'm remotely interested in, and their "showcase" game was a joke (PDZ) despite other games having nice graphics. I'm getting PSP when Tales of Eternia is released here and Xbox 360 when that Sakaguchi/Toriyama goodness gets released; the latter should take at least a year and a half considering no screens have been revealed, only artwork.

Why would anyone preorder a system without knowing the price anyway? For all we know it could be 400 bucks.

Im interested in the 360 but im gonna wait till E3 to decide if ill preorder it or preorder PS3

Because I really, really like games. I've always figured I pay $50-75 a year to own a system, so why not play the best games as soon as possible. I'm hardly wealthly, but this is my main hobby, so I might as well enjoy it. Now I have to find out where to pre-order it. Who knows, I might pre-order two or three just to spite those people who "really want it", but are too stubborn to pre-order something they know they are going to buy.

i'll pickup XBOX 360 by the time Nintendo release new system or whenever it have good amount of games on the system.

how much are they requiring you to pay down?
