When is xbox 360 due out? My bro got me a $100 gift card for EB… and $50 from my sis… So I’m wondering if I should get a few games or wait for xbox 360… ---

I’ve been reading the rumor mills about this one… and apparently MS has told developers to not always rely on the HD being there… kinda :tdown: THe one thing that I liked about xbox is that you could save to the HD and not memory cards… If anything I wish that sony would incorperate their Memory stick into the PS3 like they did the PSP because $20 for 8mb or $29 for 64mb card makes me think… I’m getting ripped off. ---

> [@BuickGN](#): > > thats cause ur still riding ps2’s outdated nuts > > get with the program jack 🙂 For your information buddy… I’m an avid supporter of the X-BOX. I believe it is the best system on the market today. I also own a PS2… and I think it is not as good, but has some very nice titles. The I saw all the movies, previews and such on the 360 and I didn’t see anything that the current day X-BOX shouldn’t be able to handle. Until they really max out the current system I don’t think I should be dropping 4 bills on a new one… that doesn’t look any better than my current system. ---

The real benefits come into play when you have a computer running Windows media center edition 2005 in your home… this works as an extender for that machine, and you can access all sorts of stuff off of it, photos, videos, games, TV (fully HD capable), radio, audio files / playlists, etc. ---

good luck reserving them now… I reserved mine on 6/13/05 according to my receipt, and I made it in for the 2nd shipment to the EB where i went, which will be the last one before christmas i think (he said probably early december for me… november is expected for the 1st shipment). By now they’re probably on the 32nd shipment. ---
