XBox 360 Launching Nov 22
EGSonikku writes "Microsoft has released an official press release regarding the XBox 360 world wide launch just prior to the Tokyo Game Show. Looks like the US will be getting it just prior to Thanksgiving on November 22nd. Europe will get it on December 2nd, and Japan on December 10th."
They're asking too much money for all of these things. It's entertainment, not medication.
You'll catch me holding out for the $59.99 used Revolution in 3 years.
Obviously you don't understand...
It's MICROSOFT.
If it were a Japanese company you would never get it first outside Japan.
And BTW , it probably exists in Japan a prototype console that has 10 times more power than all existing ones, interfaces directly and wirelessly with your brain, and possibly runs on whale oil fuel cells.
It's a Sony.
There never has been a bigger fiasco in the console market. Ever.
The number of stupid, inane, bizzare things Microsoft has done are beyond belief. The botched 360 project is a once in a lifetime event people will be talking about for years to come.
Technology.
Pricing.
Developer Support.
Marketing.
You name it, Microsoft has found some way to screw each of those things up with the 360. It is almost like Microsoft is trying to fail. Like they want out of the console market as fast as possible.
The 360 launch fiasco reminds me of that famous Milhous quote from the Simpsons:
"Not only am I not learning, I'm forgetting stuff I used to know."
Microsoft is not only not reaching out beyond the existing xbox fanbase, they seem to be actively discouraging existing xbox owners from wanting to have anything to do with the 360.
I'm going to wait for the PS3, it has better specs, a HUGE game library (PS1, PS2) and it's from Sony, not Microsoft.
It's Microsoft, not Sony or Sega. Microsoft isn't a Japanese company.
Thank you for that statement of the blindingly obvious. Next on the agenda is to describe how sky is blue, water is wet and rocks are hard. Cool.
Maybe you should spend your time with your children and raise them to be good adults instead of being a video game playing zombie.
You know what I find annoying?
:)
Retarded mods, I make a joke mocking the whole fanboy thing and I end up with a score of 0.
Nice joke btw. Would have been funnier if you put some PS3 fanboyism in there though.
ohhhh, so when your small children are trying to get your attention, trying to get you to stop playing games and spend a little time with them, a wireless controller will allow you to continue to ignore them?
that's great, just great, good to hear, really
my karma will be here long after I'm gone
