1. Are you buying a 360 lauch/launch window? If not then, when?

Nope. Maybe sometime next year. Probably not before a price drop, though.

2. Did missed lauch games, reviews, limited supply or board chatter affect your your decision on getting one the 22nd?

Not really. I don't really have the money for a new system right now, I'm happy with the current gen releases I'm still catching up on, and I don't personally have an HDTV, so some of the top selling points from a technical standpoint are meaningless at the moment. I'll wait until the price is cheaper, more games that I really want are available, and I can perhaps be able to enjoy its features as intended.

3. What launch games are you planning to buy?

I'm not super interested in any of the launch titles, though Condemned seems like it could be interesting.

4. What games are you looking forward to the most down the line?

Oblivion, GoW , Halo 3, 99 Nights, Mistwalker stuff, who knows what else

5. What about the 360 excites you the most?

The more fleshed out Xbox Live for one. And I'm hoping for a more well-rounded and diverse software catalog than the first Xbox.

6. What about the 360 worries you the most?

Mostly I'm worried that it still might be too soon for next gen. I don't know that the tech is so far evoled over last gen to be able to last through an entire new generation. I don't know how the X360 will stack up against the PS3. Will it turn out to be much weaker in the long run? Or will they be so similar that there really isn't anything to set them apart. I was too optimistic on these sorts of questions with the Dreamcast, and we know how that turned out. I doubt this will be the same, given Microsoft's position, but it is worrisome nonetheless.

7. Do you plan on getting a PS3?

Yup.

1. Are you buying a 360 lauch/launch window? If not then, when?
Yes. Almost got one last night... I waited in line for 6 hours only to find out I was 28th in line and they only had 26 premium systems. So I bailed and hope to get one soon.

2. Did missed lauch games, reviews, limited supply or board chatter affect your your decision on getting one the 22nd?
Not at all.

3. What launch games are you planning to buy?

PGR 3, NBA Live 06, Madden, PD0 (maybe)

4. What games are you looking forward to the most down the line?

Fight Night 3, Halo 3, Resident Evil 5, Morrowind: Oblivion, Ghost Recon: AW, Gears of War , Rallisport Challenge 3, Forza 2, Crimson Skies 2, Top Spin 2, Fable 2, Splinter Cell 4

5. What about the 360 excites you the most?

Next-gen games, greatest controller ever devised by humans (it's such a joy to play with something so masterfully created to melt in my hands), Xbox Live, Live tournies, Live arcade, media sharing, and spectator modes.

6. What about the 360 worries you the most?

Issues with image tearing (lack of Vsync?); lack of anisotropic filtering in any games; lack of anti-aliasing; issues with the CPU not being powerful enough; developers not taking advantage of the multicore processing capabilities to the fullest; issues with some games not being in true 720p; lots of poor/low framerate issues; hard drive not being standard in all systems and therefore not getting used to cache games and speed up load times; no DVI or HDMI output; no built in wireless ethernet; no upscaled DVD playing capabilities; some missing media capabilities; splitting the market with two SKU's (core and premium); system coming out too early.

7. Do you plan on getting a PS3

Absolutely! Day one!
