Guaranteed you don't get double for your 360 Tjung. I'm willing to bet you a 360 that you don't.

There are about 10,000 other people just like you, thinking they will capitalize on the scarce market and there will just be too many available...especially on Ebay. You may make 100 or so, but that's about it. All you gotta do is look at the PSP launch...so many were on Ebay the day of it was ridiculous.

Exactly. Oversaturation.

One game you may not have picked up on - Football Manager 2006, same spec as the PC version

Developer blog here..

Now if that works online...

I hope to find one at launch since I didn't preorder anywhere, shouldn't be too much trouble as I have three Wal Marts and a couple of Kmarts all within a few miles from each other to check for it. Would be nice to have one to do some gaming on Thanksgiving weekend.

46 votes and not one vote saying they're not getting a 360. I'd be curious to see how many votes a "I'm getting both the 360 and PS3" selection would get.

I'm getting both an XBox 360 and a PS3.


At least that's what I expect right now. The draw of the PS3 will be it's affordability as an HD DVD player, with games thrown in. If, however, the 360 shows that it has equal power to the PS3, the games prove redundant, and the 360 is released in a verison with HD-DVD OR cheap players hit the market, I might forgo the PS3.
