Aug 28- Sep 3 = week 1
Sep 4 - Sep 10 = week 2
Sep 11 - Sep 17 = week 3
Sep 18 - Sep 24 = week 4
Sep 25 - Oct 1 = week 5
Oct 2 - Oct 8 = week 6
Oct 9 - Oct 15 = week 7
Oct 16 - Oct 22 = week 8
Oct 23 - Oct 29 = week 9
Oct 30 - Nov 5 = week 10
Nov 6 - Nov 12 = week 11

You've gotta imagine at least 1 week to allow the winners to get their system before it's released, probably closer to 2 weeks.

Nov 15th is a Tuesday. Could we be seeing a fourth anniversary release?

I'm sure the first half of November was the expected release of 360 by most people anyway.

SHOCKER!

Yeah, I saw this posted this morning, and thought the same thing about the Launch Window. After a quick look at the calandar though, it was no surprise that it landed in November, as most people have been predicting all along.

hmmmm....about this contest. What are the details on it?

 

[FitzOfRage]

I thought they were pretty direct about their launch window...

 

[McFly]

So the launch games will have only a bit more than one month development time with final hardware if everything works out as expected ... I sure dont want to be a dev in that month.
