Hey everyone, Hello from Australia!

I just found out about your site so I thought I'd join up and chat to other Xbox fanboys from around the globe! I hope you guys are all enjoying your Xbox360's. I have to wait til March! :( I was thinking about importing a console from the US or Europe but the prices are just too much. (Shipping, and finding a place that would send to Aus.) So I'm just gonna hang it out til March.

It's killing me, But I know it will be worth it in the end. LOL! I've already got the week of work for the release of the 360. And I was lucky enough to pick up an E305 Faceplate from Ebay which is awesome! I'm really hoping that MYER (Which is a big department store in Aus) will hold a midnight launch Party. Which the did for the release of Halo 2, Which I attened and it was great!

Ok guys, I think I've blabbed on enough for now, Enjoy your 360's and hopefully I'll be seeing you some of you guys on Live sometime in March...Til then I'll just be kicking back here chatting with you all!

P.S For the people in the U.S who still havn't got their 360's I feel your pain, Just think at least you don't have to wait til March!

Yeah I know, I was just reading afew post's on these forums and I was shocked out how many people have missed out and how hard it has been for some people to get ahold of the 360.

I don't think it will be as bad in Australia and I don't think there will be any shortages but just to be safe I just went for a quick drive down to EB Games and pre-ordered my 360, along side my VIP pack. Which I will get on December 8th. Which is really stupid, what the hell am I going to do with a controller, PDZ and a faceplate for three months??!!?

LOL!

I guess launch day in north america there was only 300,000 - 400,000 systems available to be sold, they could have sold millions but didn't have any more ready to ship. Oh well I got mine and the more they ship every week the more people to destroy via xbox live.

wow that will be a little bit to wait, but at least better games will be available to you and any potential problems will be worked out of the 360's. Welcome to the forums, enjoy.

p.s. im flying to Aus to steal that faceplate!

Welcome aboard. I am one of those unlucky ones from the States that pre-ordered in July and still don;t have my 360 yet, but they say I get right before Christmas.
