Anyone else expecting their preordered Xbox 360 next week?

First impressions - Wow.

I am more of a computer gamer than console gamer, but I must say that I am insanely impressed with the 360. It is definitely the first console system to pass up the PC. I played NBA Live 06. Just to put this post in perspective........I hate the NBA, but I had a blast playing this game. Graphics is just plain ridiculous.

If you thought the those graphics were good, play CoD 2. Amazing.

I'm very jealous. I didn't think I could afford one, but with them selling for 700+, I could have sold one to pay the other one off.

I wouldn't pay that much for it. Apparently people have been having problems with the harddrive heating up and crashing with the premium version. Luckily I sit mine next to the air conditioner.

Picked up a 360 and 5 games.
Madden 2006: great graphics and gameplay (tons more animations than regular Xbox version), no owner's mode and mini camp though. Good game to play with friends.
Project Gotham Racing 3: Awesome racer like Brewtus said
Call of Duty 2: Favorite so far, game really gets your adrenaline going
Perfect Dark Zero: single player ok, haven't played multiplayer
Kameo: good game if you like Zelda-type puzzlers

Will probably not play on Live so no opinions there.

Anyone play Condemned or Quake 4 yet?

Overall very impressed with the system and games.

PS3 comes out Christmas 2006 I think.

I’ve got Condemned but I haven’t even opened it up yet. I’ve been spending all of my free time playing CoD2 and PGR3. I’m just about finished with the single player on CoD2 and have played a few times online. While most of my Xbox Live experience has been very good I sometimes get a choppy connection on CoD2. PGR3 Live has worked flawlessly every time.

Damn this is a fun machine.:biggrin:

I'm gonna be so fucking pissed if can't get a 360 by Christmas!

I've heard they won't have "extras" till after the new year.

What kind of marketing strategy is that? They are killin me!

I don't know. Microsoft makes all of their money off of the games anyway. People that don't have the console can't buy the games. And to think that the CEO is one of the smartest men in the world.
