Xbox360 Release Date

Justin Buser · 12-07-2005, 06:45 PM

The Xbox360 will be released at the end of 2005 in North America.

Most reports suggest the date will be in November.

Sounds like the perfect time to lauch right before Christmas!
I guess it will sell a ton or it wont sell at all.

Hehe - you are almost as slow to get things as we are here in New Zealand then!

As most have said there has been no actual confirmed release date for the 360. November has been mentioned numerous times, as well as a worldwide simultaneous release.

I personnally expect that North America to have it for there Thanks Giving holiday period (a big sales period for the States) and then Europe a week or so after that and then Japan a week or so after that. All regions should have it within a month of it's intial release in the States and before the Christmas sales rush

I don't care when it comes out as long as it comes out im good

unknowngiver · 13-07-2005, 09:52 AM

lets see who grabs it first

sketchynetwk · 13-07-2005, 10:18 AM

Only problem is that im in the UK so we dont get it for like 3 months after people in the USA get it

Have you been able to pre-order you 360 from anywhere yet Iron Orta?

I've tried my local Game & Gamestation and both aren't taking pre-orders yet

Actually they are already running out of them because of the demand for pre-orders. Good thing I pre-ordered mine ages ago!

Iron Orta · 13-07-2005, 02:27 PM

No Havent tryed to pre-order yet... im hoping they will have enough to deal with the demands... but i should really get of my ass and get a pre-order.

Dan · 13-07-2005, 07:49 PM

Running out of XBoxes? I can't believe Microsoft could face such a problem, especially considering that there is still demand considering that the other systems are as good if not better than it.

Iron Orta · 14-07-2005, 02:51 AM

Its down to the custom components, it takes more time to make and ship. I mean most of the components arnt available worldwide so they are only being manufactured for MS at the present.

..even though this is true, the 360 will be the first out and that makes it even harder to aquire the components. But then again, when they spoke to MS about not having enough to meet demands, they didnt seem to worried...as long as i get mine ill be happy

Akany · 14-07-2005, 04:23 AM

There have been rumours they will struggle to cope with demand, but then MS made a statement all will be OK.

We will see...

i suspect probably november 25, or at least in the week preceeding thanksgiving.

that way they can have their ads, the console, and games out on the busiest shopping day of the year!

well, they're projecting that they'll sell 11 million in the first year, so they had better be prepared.

heck, their first shipment is almost sold out thanks to rampant preorders.

by the way, who's preordered here, and what's your number?

i have and i am number one in the Seattle, Washington region.

How are they taking pre-orders, we don't even have a confirmed launch date nor fore-sure price (granted, around $300). Do you put down $50 and then pay the rest later? Looks like I need to call EB.
