I guess that depends on what you like. Personally, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Perfect Dark Zero, Quake 4, and Call of Duty 2 (which rocks on PC) look excellent to me, but if you don't like FPS, sports, or racing games, I could see how you wouldn't see it the same way.

I suppose that's not terribly bad for FPS fans, but for those with a gaming quality PC, there's no sense getting a 360 for Quake 4 or Call of Duty 2. And I'd have to agree it does seem that those who aren't into racing sports or FPS are rather left in the cold at launch. Part of why I won't be picking one up anytime soon.

Interestingly enough I just found this story on IGN: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/666/666229p1.html
Looks like the 360 might be in trouble out of the gate. I know I wouldn't be happy if I pre-ordered one and the store didn't have enough to give me mine.

Wow, some preorders are not coming in? Well that just means that I'm in a win-win situation. If my pre-order doesnt come in , I can get more ram, a better graphics card, or a new motherboard and CPU, a stonger power supply...:D :D :D :D

Well, from what I hear, it'd be wiser to get the Premium Package. The extra $100 nets you nearly $250 dollars of stuff (Media Remote, Wireless COntroller, HD AV cables, Headset, and 20 GB Harddrive). Plus, with the Harddrive, you won't need the memory card like with the core system, which is $40-$50.

I know stores like Best Buy, were selling them to employees before anyone else, however many they wanted, regardless of anyone's pre-orders. Which pisses me off when I hear things like people who pre-ordered didn't get their system.

The 360 deal is a bit of a mess. In some cases stores took 150+ preorders and got 15-20 systems, and are only looking at getting 10 a week in the coming weeks. Its leaving a lot of gamers with a sour taste in their mouths.

I'm going to wait until the price comes down significantly before picking on up.
