Is any one going to be getting one when they come out this Tuesday? Waiting in line for hours is a bit bizzar to me. but i can't wait to play NHL 2k6 just cause it has all of the rookies on the game and the graphics look amazing. What are your plans? Or are you just going to wait?

I wish I had $500 to throw away. It looks so cool. Saw the commercial for Medal of Honor 2 last night and it just looks amazing.

I'm not going to get one on the first day, and I have no pre-order...but I bet if I am in a store and I see one (whenever that may be) I will pick it up. I don't have enough willpower not to.

I think I will try and get one on Tuesday. Do they come out Tuesday at midnight or something like that? I will be watching the Flames game delayed so I can just head over to Walmart after the game, get some groceries and a 360 for the kids christmas

So what's so great about the 360? Is it that much better, or just a graphics improvement? $500 you say?

This system doesn't look that great to me... I'm going to wait at least a year. I'm an XBox guy but I'm waiting for the PS3.

Have you tried it yet? Head down to one of the kiosks and give it a try with a game actually designed for it like Kameo or COD 2. It'll impress you. Plus when you play around with it you discover all kinds of extra features that make it more than just a console.

I've always been a PC gamer and haven't used a console regularly since the snes days, but this one has really impressed me. Still haven't gotten used to the controller vs keyboard/mouse though.

I'd be more interested if I didn't already have a PC that can play Call of Duty 2 on full...

Nice but overhyped like the PSP. Like the PSP you should be able to find one anywhere. Don't bother getting to a store early and waiting in line.

Medal of Honor 2? Really? Cool! I'm going to check it out... if it is only for Xbox360, then I may eventually pick up an Xbox360... although that is a bit of a waste, just for one game.

Edit: I was quoting Frank The Tank... just forgot to actually quote him... and I can't find anything on Medal of Honor 2

Seen a commerical for that for the new Xbox the other day, I love Call of Duty, and I do little to no game play. But Call of Duty is an awesome game and I'd love to see what it's like for the new Xbox
