Xbox has no games... but they will. And Xbox Live is way better than PS3 Live or whatever they're calling their replica of Xbox Live. You can't really argue about consoles because, well for one it's useless. It's more of what people like in the systems, and the games. Being more of a shooter fan and a huge Halo fan I got 360 for that and all the "launch titles" that aren't coming out for another year and a half. I'm willing to give it time just for H3.

I'll pick up a PS3 when the price drops, which is inevitable. 600 dollars is pretty steep, even though it does have true next generation features.

Gamecrazy I believe is out of Pre-Orders. Gamestop/EB arent taking orders. So - camp out at BB/Target/EB/GS - maybe Ill split up our forces. . .

LOL you wouldn't believe how gay it can get. My sister is a manager at Circuit City and she opened up on the morning the 360 came out. The parking lot was full the night before, and when she got there that morning (aboiut an hour and a half before the store opened), she set up a line, and started handing out numbers (they didn't take preorders). Their store only got about 20 units (WTF), and the guy who got card # 21 was extremely pissed when the last one was sold right before him. He happened to be one of the first people to get there the night before (at about 8:00), but didn't bother to get in the line when she set it up.

He demanded to get a 360, even though he couldn't follow the rules and get his ass in line. He started cussing out my sister. These things don't affect her at all, and she's like, "Well you didn't get in line even after I taped up a bulletin explaning what would happen. I'm sorry."

I agree, any console has shit on launch day usually. I mean GRAW, Splinter Cell Double agent, Halo 3, Madden 07, NCAA 07, Gears of War. Those are just a few games i want by this years end. I already have GRAW which is fun as shit, especially on live.
