Well, I just ran out to my local game store, Game Crazy and after a short discussion got right down to pre-ordering (And paying in full, most people payed 50 dollars down on the pre-oder so paying in full meant I would most likely receive my 360 before those who have only payed 50 down on a pre-order.) my xbox 360 and looking at a few of the launch titles. I pre-ordered 1 game for myself, Dead or Alive 4 which looks fucking great and since my brother was there he wanted to pre-order a game for himself, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, which doesn't look bad but in my opinion Need for Speed Underground 2 just fucked up the whole series for me, I couldn't stand the game. Anyway I technically have the Xbox360 and controller payed in full, and 5 bucks down on each game I pre-ordered, so I actually still owe 90 bucks, no big deal, I can pay for that when I go to pick the who package up. I was going to pre-order Morrowind also but I didn't know too much about the game I will look into it over the next two months before it is actually released.

You can skip that, this is the important part:

But, the point of this thread is to state whether or not you have pre-ordered your Xbox360 yet, if you plan to soon, and what you have/plan to pre-order for it. If you have it payed in full, or just a small down payment, and to tell us about some of the launch titles you have heard about, and whether you reccomend them.

By the way, don't give me that 'Use the search bar' shit. I did look for a thread before this using the almighty search bar and I didn't find one thread relating to this exact same topic. And second of all, don't post in here and saying "Oh the Ps3/GC Rev is going to 'pwn the shit' out of the xbox 360", I don't care.

Anyway, I am going to keep staring at my receipt and masturbating. :D

My original xbox got fucked up in a lightning storm so we sold it for 60$ at EBGames and me and my brother put down the money towards our 360. Were buying the 400$ dollar one with the wireless controler and such and our dad is going to pay 100$ for us getting good grades and stuff so right now we only have to pay 240$ for it :D

My dad and bro are going to the store tomorrow. My dad's preordering it for me.

It's my Christmas gift, and Christmas comes on 11/22 this year, so if they release it at midnight, I'll pick it up then!

But hasn't Gamestop and EB sold out of them? I read on Gamespot News that they did, I thought...

And I don't know what two games to get. I'm ONLY getting two. I want Ghost Recon 3 for the XBL part, but then there's that car racing/shooting game that looks good. But Criminal Intent looks scary and stuff, so I don't know.

Well, I'm a Boy Scout (geeky, I know), but if I can get Eagle Scout before spring, my dad will pay half off the bundle I'm getting.

I plan to get, for $689.99...

Xbox 360 Console (with harddrive)
12-month Gold Membership Xbox Live Card
PGR3
Need for Speed Most Wanted
Tony Hawk American Wasteland
Xbox Live Acesssories

I defenitely recommend The new Elderscrolls 4: Oblivion, beyond anything I've ever seen.

NO.

Preordering or getting an Xbox 360 at release is stupid. The Xbox that came out at release had so many faulty parts and bugs that I had to send it back to Microsoft and shell out more money just to get it to play all games.

They better not hook me up with paying for xbox live again, just recently I re-newed my xbox live account for another year, I don't want to set all of that shit up again, or switch gamertags...I hope they have some type of account transfer option, otherwise I will just have to sit on my original xbox live for a while so I don't feel like I am losing money. :|

I'm a semi-fanboy. That doesn't bother me, I can most likely just go to anystore and say 'I bought this for Christmas and it doesn't work anymore, I also lost my receipt I WANT A REPLACEMENT :(' Hell, it worked for my xbox the first time around.

Where do you guys get all this money?! Frikkin' rich asses! I'd rather wait 'til the price drops. Way I figure it it'll still be there, and besides I don't play much. PC, social, school, and work take up all my time.

I'd rather wait because I don't want to pick up a new system and then get caught with a recall (I bet that many of the first PS2's are scrap by this point due to the disc read error plauge and when the dreamcast first came out there were a faulty batch of GD-ROMs {The Dreamcast's unique storage unit} that were in the marketplace). Secondly if I preordered at this point I'd be stuck with a tard pack.

I don't like the idea of preordering. Not just the Xbox 360, but anything.

You have no idea on how good the games are going to be, when's the next price drop, etc. The Xbox 360 might just play like the old Xbox. I'd rather play it first hand before even thinking about preordering it.
