i thought online play required a fee and the free stuff was just content?

The only place that they run out of new console/games is places that have pre-orders.

I always laugh at folk that make sure they pre-order while I casually go to Toys R Us or Circuit City and pick up my non pre-order. :dry:

The folks at Gamestop always like pull the "don't you want to guarantee that you'll have the system on launch day?!!! :w00t: "

Uhhhhhh..

no...I don't :mellow:

Hey remeber the lunch of the DS, they ran out of units. I think it was the same with the XBox, ran out so it was hard to get.

They ran out in the newspapers.

I was able to find DS's and Xbox's on launch day and I wasn't itchin' to buy one.

Folks who have to have that shit on launch day are geeknutty anyway. Reminds me of folks camping out to see Revenge Of The Shit at midnight ffs.

I bought my tickets online and picked them up to see it 2 days later.

I don't know what the DS had for lunch btw. What units? Energon cubes?

The main thing is not to feel like you missed out by not being a first adopter.

Most likely you won't die before that next shipment and if you do....you won't care about an Xbox.

Why woulnt be fun, I dunno IMO it's just fun to be able to touch a new product when it comes out and mess with the new features.

Yea I understand, but I am saying for me I like to play them first. Thats all, but yea for Xbox 360 I feel I can wait for it. Really not looking forward to paying $400 for the system, and then pay for the games. Thats bullshit, I can't afford ATM.

No, they're gonna be totally different 1 week after launch :rolleyes:

Its not about having a different piece of hardware... its about be able to enjoy it the first time everyone else is... and to show it off to your friends :)

Cool, for me it would be just the opposite. (a new piece of hardware)

I couldn't give a shit about being first or showing it off. It makes it sound like a jealousy thing if you don't have one when someone else does. Now it makes sense when I saw people say "that guy is lucky" regarding the boy with the leaked "360".

It must be an age thing.

xbox 360 may not be as good as you think is it, why is everyone so exited about it, lol, save up, build a decent computer, if u ask me the xbox 360 is a waste of money, same with ps3, even tho i think ps3 is going ot be better and i am a playstation fan, i aint going to buy a ps3 untill it comes right down in price, i will use my money to buy a decent computer, stuff consoles for now, they had there time, now pc's are taking over.

:lol:

You go out and spend $400 on a pc, we'll see if you get graphics as good as the 360 and the PS3. ;)

Yea n18, you're right, only get chat, profile and content for free.
