What's the deal.......

with the games coming out a week before the system. I don't understand that. That's gonna bug me that I have the games but no system to play them on.

It's probably going to help cut down on the frenzy for launch day. Instead of tons of people fighting over both system and games the crowd will be more focused on just the system.

If I were buying an Xbox on launch day (and I'm not) I'd get the game the week before. It's one less thing to fight over on launch day.

Fine with me. Won't have to wait to play. I'm probably getting DOA 4 at Wal-Mart but getting the system at Blockbuster.

Then there's the contest where you get the system before they're in the stores.

completely agree. I'm sure there will be quite a few people that buy everything on the 22nd, but for most of the hardcore guys, they will already have their games and all their accessories, just one less thing to worry about on launch day. hopefully like Grudge said, this will cut down on the lines

Re: What's the deal.......

well its a whole lot easier to ship games than it is to ship system. you put 50 games in one box. it would take half a UPS truck to ship 50 systems.

stoes will probably start recieving 360's by the 15th. But MS wont let them sell til the 22nd, when all stores have their shipments. Stores can sell all the games they want to, because it doesnt matter to MS... cant play it without the system.

So basically, my point:
MS doesnt care if stores hold games or not. They are just concerned with teh 360 being released the 22nd

So who here will be picking up their games when they come out?

Yeah that's why I'm hesitant to but I might aswell because I got them preordered and they only hold them for 48 hours. I guess this will be the only time I read every page of a manual for a game.

Re: What's the deal.......

There's no way I can let them sit at the store if I know I can have them in my hands, even though it will be torture.

Re: What's the deal.......

DOA 4 I'll be getting soon as possible. I'm not sure on what other game I want yet,if any so maybe I'll wait on my 2nd choice.

Re: What's the deal.......

I'll be buying games as soon as their out. It will suck having to wait though.
