Uh... Isn't it ashame. I think it is way too soon. Usually rushing something that big is not a good idea. They better hope that they have any glitches worked out before the launch.

Comon, Take it easy MS...

which means i'll be picking it up sometime the summer of 2006. Not gonna do the launch crap again.

This is definetly to soon. I can't afford it. Sh*t I eat ramen noodles for lunch and dinner. Oh well though, when I Am ready to buy it it will be cheaper atleast. I didn't buy the xbox at launch last year and I won't buy xenon at launch either.

god, i won't even be near done with halo 2 (especially online)

[TOTTEN]

i was hoping they would have the realease date like during chrismas or the same date the original came out(not year stupid) but the online service at launch would be a nice touch. mabey a xbox2 version of halo 2 at launch

[RockTheCasba]

ill get it at launch. just gotta weld some more to get money.

Yeah I'm going to wait out for a while until they get rid of any possible defects like for example the Thompson ROM... Not that I have a problem with mine yet [knock on wood]. I don't want to find out later on that the chip can blow up if it gets too hot... hehehee j/k



Unless there is about at least a handful of new must-have integrated games coming out on launch... I'll settle for an extended warranty just in case.

What I really mean is I'm in no rush to get it...

[TOTTEN]

yeah no tomson

Yeah same here. I just don't play enough xbox to do that again, plus it wasn't just $300 for the xbox at launch, most places made you buy bundles to get it so it came to something like $520 when I bought mine. Ouch!

I'll wait it out and see what Sony offers. The PS2 didn't offer anything new at the time which is why I never went with that. But the PS3 should, as well as the Xbox 2. Going to be an interesting year.

WAY too soon, but here's to hoping
