Saw this on another site...

XBM UK reviews Call of Duty 2

9/10

"Call of duty 2 plays like a dream. It never skips to load in the enormous levels, never stutters during moments of intense combat and never faulters when all you can see is fire, bullets and blood. Put simply, the look of Call of Duty 2 is flawless"

"The visuals blend with the combat to create one of the most brutal and action-packed war games ever made"

"Infinity Ward has designated one of the consoles processors to exclusively render the effects in the game (smoke/explosions/weather effects), allowing this to look even better than the top-end PC interpretations"

Good deal Brad. Hopefully I'll get one though, but if not, I'll definately hit you up for it.

Thanks for the offer bro

I think you meant Bryan, but that's OK, the deal is still good.

Re: Xbox 360 EVERYTHING Pre-Release, Pre-Order Discussion...

definitely would make more selling them separate. he would get at least $25 and get a few more dollars for shipping. I've even gone with $7.00 shipping + 2.00 required for insurance and I've done okay with games.

Would someone be kind enough to break down what I should sell each for?

just put the xbox and accessories with with a buy it now of $125-150. Any old games, you can bundle witht the xbox. With your new 2006 games, put them up separately with a BIN of about 28.99. If you have your action replay, sell it separately. Mine is about to sell for $15 plus shipping.

Here's a Mass Effect interview and a potential confirmation of Jade Empire 2 for the 360.

http://www.xe360.com/article/Mass_Effect/2871.html

XE: Speaking of Jade Empire, the Jade Empire game seems pretty well received by critics and gamers alike. Will Bioware be continuing JE at all? A rumor going around is that the game is that Jade Empire 2 is going to PlayStation 3, but that seems unlikely especially since traditionally Bioware only works on one major project at a time.

Ray: We don’t comment on rumors, but we can definitely say that Microsoft has been a great supporter of BioWare in the past on both Jade Empire and Mass Effect and we definitely look forward to working with them in the future – they’re a very good partner. And, BioWare definitely plans to continue the Jade Empire franchise – the Jade team did a great job with the first game in that series; we have great teams working on all of our games here. We’ve also said in the past that we’re working on not just one, but two Xbox360 titles. Enough said

Yep, another list of launch titles, but this one has a bit more credibility, and makes a bit more sense.

Apparently, someone that works at Best Buy has leaked a 26 page launch guide to Kotaku.com. The guide has tons of information, such as "the full listing of stores that will be open until midnight, launch titles, sales estimates, total units shipped, deals and how the big day itself will be handled." Kotaku is supposedly leaking it out slowly so there isn't a huge pile of info at one time, so keep looking there for more info.

Anyways, here is the supposed "final" launch list:

Amped 3
Activision Call of Duty 2
Sega Condemned
EA FIFA 2006: Road To The FIFA World
Activision Gun
Microsoft Kameo Elements of Power
Peter’s Jackson’s King Kong
Madden NFL 2006
NBA 2K6
NBA Live 2006
Need For Speed Most Wanted
Perfect Dark Zero
Perfect Dark Zero (Limited Edition)
Project Gotham Racing 3
Quake 4
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2006
Tony Hawk: American Wasteland

That's a pretty good launch list compared to what some consoles have launched with. EA is going to clean up too.

SoMiss, did your XBOX sell yet?

I had mine up for 7 days and it was at 3 days left with no bids at 9.99 so I took it off for now. I'm a regular ebay seller so I understand how everything works on there, but when I had no watchers or even bids I didn't want to give this away dirt cheap even though the bids may ramp up at the end.

I may just hold on to the thing as an expensive DVD player. EB is only giving $65 for the system. My 360 is almost paid off.

I wish Microsoft would share Backwards Compatibility lists with us already.

yes, mine sold after 1 day. I sold my xbox, 2 controllers, hd pack and a few old 2005 sports games for $125 plus $27.00 shipping. Someone used the Buy It Now that I had for $125.
