Man, I really want an Xbox so I can join in
...so close to pulling the trigger on a used one.
Give it 2 weeks and everyone will move on to the next shooter.
I thought Nintendo will be entering the current console generation?

Boom! Also at the risk of seeming ignorant about games again and provoking rage from certain users, why are the Halo games less guilty of iteration than, say, the CoD games?
The Halo games are good. Iteration isn't bad. So long as your product is good each time then iteration is a positive thing.

Then you go ahead and do a Resident Evil

I think Halo iterates fairly well. Every game, even the non-mainline games contribute something to the sandbox, be in in loadout, weapons or control tweaks. To be fair, you can't change too much without it ceasing to be Halo any more. You need that floaty jump and the AR, nade melee mix in there.
I saw a review yesterday that criticised the game for having no iron sights, smh. But the same review also called the combat bland and linear, so it's fairly obvious that they don't know how to Halo properly.
Oh god my hype levels are ridiculous. If there's not an Amazon package on my doormat I may actually cry from anticlimax.
EDIT: ^^^ oh Mr Sam you are in for some good times. Apart from Halo 2 maybe, I don't think that game has aged very well at all, it sorely needs a new edition like for CE.

Plans slightly scuppered! I did get the job thankfully- so I'll wait a bit after xmas and see what's out there! I don't like leaving my mum alone over xmas
You're missing my favourite one...
Halo Wars.
Everybody hates that game, but it's awesome.

It seems disingenuous to claim that ODST and/or Reach are 'spin offs', but I accept that the games are less frequent. I'd still question whether the changes made to each Halo are significantly greater than the changes made every two years to the CoD series.
I'd agree that ODST and Halo Wars are spinoffs, but Halo Reach was definitely marketed as "the next Halo" so you can't really argue it on that one.
On the same line of thinking, I guess you have to say that the Modern Warfare and Black Ops franchises are seperate - so they're on 2 seperate 2 yearly release schedules.
I think the CoD games are over-hyped by the people who love them, but I equally think that the people who hate them are just as OTT in their furious loathing. I played all of them other than MW3, including queueing up for about 3.5 hours at Eurogamer to play the Black Ops 2 demo (didn't want to queue so long for it, but a friend of mine is a serious nerd for Call of Duty, so I waited with him) and I think they're all pretty good. I can see improvements from one to the next, generally, I just don't think they're all that.
Join my party man, your making us all upset.
my life is ruined now, fuck life! fml

I did!
Half tempted to get my sulky stomp on, walk half hour to the nearest supermarket and pick up a copy and return the amazon copy when it arrives. I've sent my mrs out for the evening and everything!

If only you stayed in Fife* where Free deliver IS next day delivery because that's where one of their plants are based.
*not really.
Do it. It's worth it. Really, it is.
You could even return the amazon copy to the supermarket, depending which you pay more for.
If you're bothered about it enough for the short journey to the shop, you may as well do it.
Pick me up a 360 and copy of the game while you're there?

did it go into the washing machine neatly folded? :/
Not at all, it was all scrunched up and damp from some overzealous washing-up.

No, I have work tomorrow. And I don't care enough.
So it looks like the S3 has some serious competition.

Not me. Way too much housework to do. Trying to build up some spousal credit prior to the Autumn Internationals.
I saw that on Stephen Fry's twitter today when I was at work, it was only at £2.10 then!
Not me. Don't really care and I cherish my sleep. Is it really worth staying up for man?

I'll be watching till about 1am, which is when it will start to get interesting. But alas I have classes tomorrow morning.
Obama has a solid chance, though I feel the need to tell US Gaf not to fudge this one up.

Sup BritGaf. Checking in for 'commentating on not-our-election' night. PoliGAF will be wanting to talk politics and not Dimbleby.
I have watched the last 3 elections on the BBC, they are awesome
