    I would hope so... After some time with the product, their holiday (Christmas) sales will go through the roof.

      I was actually kind of hoping that it would be released before Thanksgiving. I'd hate to have to battle, in addition to the regular folks who are getting launch day XBox 360's, the people who all like to go out shopping on Black Friday.

        I think a Thanksgiving release is too late in the year. It doesn't give MS too much time to create a holiday buzz. I expect to see it on the shelves the first week of November.

          I was thinking that it would make the most sense at about that time as well. That way they can build up hype leading into the Thanksgiving shopping day.

              I think that Microsoft doesn't even know yet. I think that if you could get actually gat an honest answer from a Microsoft executive on what the planned launch date is then the honest answer would not be specific like "11/15/2005" it would be something more like "It had better be before Thanksgiving or heads are going to roll.'

                  IT wont be nessecary to create buzz, becuase when this thing launches, the only way you will get one is if you preoredered one. They wont be lying around on store shelves. The first shipment will sell out no matter when it is released before christmas, so as long as they get out before dec 25, they'll be in good shape. MS has no need to create 'buzz', because the average shopper that 'buzz' would impact wont have a chance to buy the system, because they will all be sold out

                      I bet I can walk into either Wal Mart or Best Buy and still buy one the first day, that's my plan at least, and I go to school in Lynchburg so I don't really worry about it being sold out.

                        i would highly recommend it reserving it. i know my local EB and gamestop are already slot out, and wal mart says they will be doing a pre order to when they get more information. I highly doubt you will be able to walk in anywhere and buy the system on day 1

                              But you have to drive 45 mintues back to Auburn, so it's sort of a wash.
