    I Just Pre-Ordered an XBox 360 - Anyone Else?

    My EB is taking pre-orders (you have to put down $50), so I took the plunge. I know that I definitely want an XBox 360 on Day one, so I am more than happy that I can order it now.

    The only drawbacks at this point are that EB currently has it priced at $500 (admitting that it will definitely be cheaper than this), and that they are still not sure if there will be a basic model and a slightly more expensive model with an HD. I would go with the HD model, so, that will be interesting....

    Has anyone else pre-ordered the 360 yet?

    There won't be a model without a hard drive.

      I Pre-ordered it the day after it was announced on MTV at EB. Most everyone on my FL is getting a 360, so I'll get one to keep playing with them. XBOX live is looking real good for the 360, and that's the key selling point of the console to me. I think that Microsoft really created something special with XBOX live and made live to where gaming with online friends is the #1 thing. I've not played a game with a random person in well over a year, and most of my online games are from a fellow member of my clan, or from on here.

        I have a hard time pre-ordering something that I do not know what the actual price is going to be. Plus, I still do not know which system to buy yet. I am only going for one this time around.

            i spoke to a guy at a GameStop.. he said that the first shipment was all sold out - should be in a few weeks before x-mas.. he said that now he is taking orders for the second shipment which is due later on in the year -he said june or july...so, i'll be waiting a while before getting a new system.. plus pre-ordering something that the price is unknown seems a little odd..

              no it doesn't as you still have a choice of whether you want to buy the thing or not.

                Preordered yesterday. They didn't say anything about a second shipment to me so I hope I can get one the first day. Plus I doubt Microsoft won't push out more machines if there is demand for it.

                  I'm preordering as soon as I move, next week. There's a Gamestop near my new house. Fifty down to hold my place! No problem. Especially with how Madden and Live look! I just hope I can get it on the first shipment as well, but I don't see Microsoft mucking it up like the PS2 debut.

                  I too will be online, I hope Live will have the EA locker thing as well. It'd be cool to play a mutliplayer franchise with a couple of my friends in different states.

                    I preordered one the other week.

                      I almost have the money but I can't bring myself to pre-ordering it yet cause I might not have the rest when it comes out. If only they had it out and stuff. What is Best Buy and all them other stores looking like for this first shipment wave? Do you have to put money down for them too? I hope nobody around me thinks about this. Man, when is that second shipment hitting anyhow? I'm saving up for it. If the price decreases when PS3 comes out, then I'm definitely going to wait for that then. I think I can now....

                              Who remembers the prices of all those consoles when they first came out? I'm curious. Maybe a trend could be seen. Also, if you have time, the average games for that system when they first came out. I would try but I have no clue where to look.
