For those of you getting an Xbox 360

[xadrez]

I cannot get a 360 now (just signed a mortgage and need to tighten the belt), plus Im going to be too busy to play it anytime soon.

Thus, Im not too concerned with the launch releases. I will play Half Life 2 for reg. old Xbox. Then, Ill play the new Zelda, then next summer Ill get a 360, hopefully Halo will be out by then...

I want to get Madden next.
I keep hearing good things about Perfect Dark too.

Madden is not a port. They completly redesigned the entire game. Created a new model they will use for all next gen football games. Definitly gettin this game when my system comes in.

Has anybody here heard any rumors about the 360 being moddable like the original xbox was?

Too early to tell, but xbox-scene.com is the main site that keeps up with that type of thing. Rest assured, as soon as 360 comes out plenty of people will be prying with its insides trying to answer that question. Also rest assured that MS isn't happy about all the people modding the current Xbox, and will have tried pretty hard to keep people from doing it with 360.

I pre-ordered my 360 about two months ago, and just called the local Gamestop to find out that they won't have enough consoles next Tuesday for me to get mine.

"When will I be able to pick one up?"
"Umm...I don't know, whenever the company sends us more?"

Fun. I'll be getting Oblivion at launch for sure (its two prequels, Daggerfall and Morrowind on PC, were two of my favorite games of all time, even though I don't really like RPGs for the most part - so for me, that IS a system mover).

Actually, I just noticed that Oblivion isn't on the list of launch titles, so I did some digging at IGN...and apparently it's delayed until 2006. Wow, fantastic. I guess I'll be getting Quake 4 at launch then, maybe PGR3, Tiger Woods (previous ones have always been fun) and Condemned looks pretty cool.
