    Who's planning on getting an Xbox 360?

    I preordered one today.

    Didn't order any games yet. I'm not sure if the launch line up has been set.

    I still have lots of the xbox catalog to work through. So I can be patient on the games. There one game, Perfect Dark, that's looking like it might be good. It all comes down to the review.

    I was burned with the xbox launch. I pre-ordered the batman based solely on the hype. It was one of the worst games I've ever played. I don't think I played it for more than 20 minutes before I gave up in frustration.

    Hey, some Xbox Live might be fun! Who's up for arranging a tournament? Maybe Halo 2? Or MechAssault!

          IF I'd go and shell out money for a gaming console, I'd clearly wait for the PS3

          as for XBOX360 games, it looks as if Need for Speed Most Wanted will be a killer game on it ...

              I might buy the PS3, as it's backwards compatible and I have a few games for PS2 and PSX, but unless I win an Xbox360, I won't buy one.

              Edit below:

              I don't think I'll be able to afford one anyways.

                      Straight away from launch? Probably not. Depends if the UK launch has Dead or Alive 4 (hehe) .

                                  Nintendo has me interested due to being different, but I haven't bought a console since the Dreamcast. My PC takes up my gaming time.

                                      No, and if I would buy a console it would porbably be a PS3.

                                          I might get an Xbox 360, but my sights on set on the Nintendo Revolution. A PS of any sorts simply doesn't enter the equation. As it stands, we already have a Gamecube and an Xbox, which are more than enough for our family. Need to buy Halo 2 though, Halo vanilla is getting a little repetitive, though I still haven't been able to justify a Live subscription.

                                              No interest in the Xbox. I don't play sports games and FPS's on the console has never interested me. I found Halo interesting but not really worth my time. I am however looking forward to the Revolution. I just hope the new controlller really is revolutionary.

                                                  I'll wait until all 3 come out and then decide. I may not get any of them. It depends on how crappy the games are. It also depends if my son ends up getting the Xbox360 for Christmas or not. I'm already biased against PS3 since I don't like the style of games that typically come out on the PS series. I hated the PS2 controller. Xbox was a much better console IMHO.
