August 31, 2005 - Microsoft plans to launch the Xbox 360 as late as Friday, November 25, the day after Thanksgiving, with software potentially hitting shelves earlier that week, sources from three US retailers told IGN today.
The three retail chains, all of whom independently pointed to Friday, November 25, as the hardware launch day, received email describing launch data late Monday. Launch day games have been re-assigned from early November to Monday, November 22, as potential first day ship dates. When contacted, Microsoft would not confirm or deny the information. In previous official announcements, Microsoft has said Xbox 360 will vaguely launch this fall.

i agree with shannon. Going out on that day to shop is crazy. I usually just stay in my house the whole day to avoid the rush to stores and massive traffic

Ya but what if there is something that you really want to buy like the xbox 360. you won't come out of your house and buy the xbox360 even with the massive traffic of people. I would. If you guys are not getting it on the launch day what day will you get the xbox360. My box is being shipped to my cousin's house in wisconsin. So I am going up to him from bermuda to get it. I can't wait.

well unless i get it for Christmas, i probably won't be able to afford it until around this time of 2006 when some games will be going for cheap and the console hopefully gets a price drop.

I'm really only interested in Oblivion and Perfect Dark Zero. But then again, at Xbox 1's launch, i was only interested in 2 games also--Dead or Alive 3 and Halo.
