You kind of have to hunt around right now. MS says they are sending out shipments every week but it sounds like some retailers are letting the shipments sit in their distribution centers for later. Target has been selling them as they get them. My wife talked with a Sam's Club manager and he said the 15th. There have been rumors that Best Buy is hoarding 360s for another launch type event on or around the 18th.

I plan on getting:
Perfect Dark Zero
PGR3
Kameo
CoD 2
Need for Speed
NBA Live 06

I'd probably get PGR3 and COD2 to start out with. PDZ is a good game IMHO but it doesn't seem to be everybody's cup of tea. Same with Kameo. I'd download the demos for Kameo, NFS, and NBA Live 06 from Live Marketplace to see if you like them before you drop $50-$60 on them.

Agreed... Download the demos and see what you think...I personally can't stand NFS, but my kid loves it.

PGR3 is an amazing game. I really, really like PDZ, mostly because of the co-op play. (I'm a sucker for a good co-op game! )

I can only imagine this is some guy who got the idea to sue over the internet. Why sue a big company like MS on 2 weeks worth of internet gossip?

So he (and his lawyer) can be first in line for the settlement money. I guarantee you that they don't want to take this to court. They want to settle.

I don't know. Microsoft has a pretty damn generous policy concerning faulty systems. Not only that, but if they could prove that the percentage of defective systems is in line with a typical piece of consumer electronics/computing equipment then I would think their case wouldn't have too much merit.

I hope MS fights this as I think this is just some a-hole who've heard probably the same 200 people on the internet going crazy because they happened to have gotten faulty systems.

I'm 100% in Microsoft's corner on this, and they'd win the lawsuit for sure. However, it'd be way cheaper and easier to just settle the lawsuit than take it to court.

Ugh I was contemplating selling the Xbox 360. It's been sitting here since I received it from Circuit City on November 26th and I cracked it open today. My Gamertag is John J An if anyone wants to play. I got PDZ and CoD2 right now. I should be getting NFS MW tomorrow and DOA4 when it comes out.

There's a raffle for an Xbox 360 on this site here.

It's legit. They run a CS:S server and I'm an admin on it.

I haven't checked into this thread yet, but here's my gamercard:
http://live.xbox.com/member/SauronsFury

I've had my 360 since Nov. 14th (got it early from a contest) and I haven't had a single lockup, crash or issue of any kind FYI.

If any of you wanna add me to your friends list, go ahead. I play a lot of PDZ, PGR3 and COD2 mostly...but also into Condemned (taking my time with it), Kameo, Quake 4 (sorry, I am a quake fanboy at heart), Tiger Woods and King Kong...plus the arcade games of course.

 

[Rage187]

Mine is Rage1776, I also play PDZ/PGR3, condemned and the Arcade games

I wouldnt mine trying the cooperative campaign of PDZ so I will add you

So are the new shipments that are going to be hitting stores not going to come w/the remote control?

I am still torn as to when I should make my other 360 auctions end on ebay heh ...

 

[BornStar]

I probably should have mentioned that I play PDZ, PGR3 and Tiger Woods 06. For redundancy's sake, my gamertag is BornStar18.

Can you do coop over Xbox Live? I didn't see it available when I logged on XBL last night. Is it something you have to unlock?

I havent tried it but read that you coop on the same missions and you each get sent to do different objecdtives, which sounds pretty cool.

I'll have to dig up info on that. I thought coop was just for MP on the same TV or on system link. It would be awesome if you could do coop over XBL.

Also another thing coming to Kameo in the future is co-op over Live (with a patch I guess). You could do some serious beatdowns in co-op in that game. I highly recommend listening to Major Nelson's latest show, specifically the interview with the Kameo guy. There's a lot more to the game then I knew. http://www.majornelson.com
