"So officially the details of the launching of Xbox 360 will be revealed in X05 at the beginning of October, they are the third editors who release us the piece like very often in this kind of case. Indeed, according to last plannings' sent to the specialized retailers, Electronic Arts announces its FIFA 2006 for November 24, 2005 out of Xbox 360, it is the same with Saint' S Row for THQ which appears at the same date. The softwares being almost always sent a day in advance, that would confirm in a logical way the date of November 25 2005 which had déja evoked by the distribution before even the advertisement of the price of the console Xbox 360."

24th November is a Thursday!

And isn't it a bit late to announce a release date, only a month before the machine is supposed to land?

Because Microsoft is the new Sega. Thus, this makes perfect sense.

you get the feeling they aren't quite sure when they can have machines ready? Or games?

fingers crossed for the 25th. My birthday is the 29th, so it'll make a nice birthday present (from myself)

Why the hell are they keeping it such a secret? They should have announced a release date along with the pricing at GC. Unless it's not ready at all for November and they are gonna drop the bomb at X05...

Microsoft is the new Sega.

Sony is the new Nintendo.

Nintendo is the new ______? (Guess we can't really say until we know what Revolution is)

If MS pull it off, and release 360 within a month timeframe in all 3 terrotories they'll put both Sony and Nintendo to shame. It'll bring up the question why they cant those companies do the same, as its certainly possible.

Hopefully MS set the new standard, finally treating EU with respect.
