Default Another Xbox 360 thread: It\'s nearly that time!

Release Date: November 22, 2005.


I'm thinking of getting one. Can anyone suggest reasons for doing so, or not doing so?

Anything I should be aware of before committing to this moderately-sized purchase?

Also, anyone know if the 360 will play the original Xbox games??

We're getting a lot of threads on this, so I guess this thing is gonna be huge. Those guys hoping to sell it on e-bay may be barking up the right tree.

I really doubt there will be a shortage. There wasn't with the Xbox.

They have time to release them slowly this time though. When XB came out, it had to catch up quick to PS2 so they rammed production lines. Now they have a year head start so they can hype it up, mark it up, and release it slowly over time.

Good news/bad news.
The bad news is that not all games will be reverse compatible, the good news is that those that are, will look noticeably better on the 360 than they did on the Xbox because of the extra anti-aliasing power.
the list of games which will run on the xbox 360 is quite long, google should pull it up for you in a couple of secs (I know that all the Grand Theft Auto and Halo games are on the list).

Wait a few months, console launch units have historically been prone to all kinds of hardware/firmware problems. odds are, these will be no different.

While true, V1.0's are usually the easiest to Mod since every future release will be to counter Modding.

if you love the launch titles, you buy it

if you don't, you wait until some compelling games come out
