Posted September 27, 2005 After seeing Nintendo's Revolution controller, I have also decided to get a 360 and Kameo, Perfect Dark and maybe Oblivion or Gears of War on launch if possible. Kameo just looks so cool not to get and I can't see Revolution beign able to match the amount of great games that I will be able to get, especially RPG.

Posted September 28, 2005 I can't see Revolution beign able to match the amount of great games that I will be able to get, especially RPG. Why? It will have a standard controller shell too for 'standard gaming' and with the recent news from Iwata that the graphics will look pretty much the same to XB360, there is no way Revolution can't have say an RPG on Xbox 360 because of the controller/graphics. Rev will be capable of playing standard games on the 360 just fine, if not better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 28, 2005 Just waiting for X05 now. I want that list of release day games! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 29, 2005 I'd like to get Perfect Dark and hopefully Ridge Racer 6 once I get a 360. I might even get one at launch just because But I really want to see what the launch list is first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 29, 2005 Gamestation, Game and now woolworths have stopped taking preorders in my area! I've already preordered from Gameplay on 17th August, but i'm REALLY worried that the extreme shortages (50,000 for the whole of the UK) is going to make it so that only shops can sell it and no online retailers, can they do that? Well theres always Ebay but to be honest i don't trust spending that sort of money on there!!!! I so hope i get one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 29, 2005 Wha! 50,000? Where did you hear that. That's a damn short supply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 29, 2005 ^The person in Gamestation, which sounded really informative and knew what he was talking about. He stated the UK were getting 50,000 XBOX360's and that Gamestation stores around the country were getting 15,000 of that amount. I've tried other game websites but all state they now can't gurantee delivery on release day. Gameplay did state i will most probably get one for launch day as i preordered the day it went up on the website (17/08/05), but for some stupid reason i'm still worried. i have a 99.9% chance of getting one, but i want to preorder somewhere else as well to 100% make sure i get one! :wink: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 29, 2005 Gamestation, Game and now woolworths have stopped taking preorders in my area! I wouldn't worry too much. I seem to remember a similar thing happening in regards to a certain portable gaming device earlier in the month, but on the launch date you could still walk in to shops and buy one straight off the shelf.

Let me rephrase - the guy claiming those figures is talking bull, as he has no proof. Having said that though, there is quite a high likelihood that there will be severe shortages. Trust me on this though - there are NO official figures yet in terms of allocation. And I should know - I get hassled about it enough by Game and Gamestation in a day. On a side note, I have preordered mine from Game in case MS dont let us preorder directly through the company I am 5th on the list, so they had better get at least 5! ________ Mflb Vaporizer Edited February 16, 2011 by Johelian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The paid subscription will carry across to the 360 when you register your username again. You wont need to pay again. ________ Buy no2 vaporizer Edited February 16, 2011 by Johelian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 29, 2005 I pre-ordered mine back early Sept. I think MS will probably have atleast 250K consoles for Europe. And i mean atleast. They've been on the production lines since last Christmas as they stopped producing XBOX1's. Seriously, they wouldn't do a worldwide launch if they didn't know what they were doing. They do have like 20 odd places making them pretty much none stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Youd think that...but from the incredibly late release date and the lack of information concerning allocation, Im starting to wonder. They have told us that they will "meet demand", but at present I really dont see how thats feasible. Oh well. Hopefully youre right and they do know. I certainly pray that that is the case. ________ Sc2 replays Edited February 16, 2011 by Johelian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
