It kinda sucks......everyone has diff release dates for R6....like CHris pointed out.

Xbox.com : Release Date: 11/21/2006
Ebgames.com: Pre-Release Ships 11/20/06
amazon.com: This item will be released on November 22, 2006

I have a preorder at EBgames, and will call them this weekend to find out for sure.

It LOOKS like we are looking at tuesday at the earliest, and definitely by Wednesday. I noticed that Xbox.com didn't have a set date until this last time I checked unless I am making a mistake.

It's almost here! 🙂

Sweet. I guess as my Thanksgiving gift I'll go pickup a copy on Wednesday and play it all day Thursday. 🙂

ok, yeah I am pretty sure you are on my friends list, at least I haven't deleted you.
We can definitely get a game going. I have been playing for about 45 minutes and love it!
If I see you on I'll send you a message

Best game ever.

I have to be careful when I start playing it 🙁 Because if I start it's hard to break away, I love it 🙂

Edit: also, If anyone wants to play some coop GoW, let me know. I want to get the achievement for playing as Dom and beating the game. I don't normally do achievements but for this game I make an exception. I prefer hardcore/insane, but it doesn't really matter

Sounds like the 360 is finally in the black

the HDD-equipped Xbox 360 has a manufacturing and materials total of $323.30, based on an updated estimate using costs in the fourth quarter of 2006. This total is $75.70 less than the $399 suggested retail price of the Xbox 360.

that's good, and even though I know MS isn't desperate for more money, I think the 360 is a great console and they do deserve to make some money off of it. This could mean that it won't be too long before MS drops the price of the 360, even if it's just a little bit. Not that it would affect me or most of you.. 🙂


It looks like it will be a long time before Sony makes any money off of the PS3.

 
For all those that are curious, I figured out why I was having trouble with my TV in 1080p over component. I forgot that I was running component through my receiver which limits it to 100MHz but the 360 was providing video at 124MHz. Once I moved the cable directly to my TV the problem went away.

I dont have the answer, I would say try it and find out. You got nothing to lose.

I kind of doubt it. Just because of the order of the steps. Register with the promo code, THEN sign up for XBL. Either way, I'll still try it 😉
 
heh, even though the R6 MP demo is only 1 map, I have to admit that I haven't touched GoW since it came out..... but I will tonight 😀

I've had Phantasy star universe for a week but haven't touched that game either (wasn't really excited to play it to begin with, but gamefly sent it)

Hey I'm online now playing R6...you on Chris?

I wish I was... just got done putting up christmas lights :disgust:😕 and now I have to go eat at my parents' house. I should be home in less than 2 hours, hopefully closer to 1.
If you are still on I'd love to play some, or anyone else. :thumbsup:

I've earned all of my gaming time today 🙂 Been my wife's slave all day..
