1up :/

WrathOfOtaibah · Sep 15, 2005

I think I can scrounge up about $500 for it before then (X360 Premium + Game + Controller)

Rindain · Sep 15, 2005

Hooray, the first big news out of TGS! Now let's wait for the Revolution controller/mario 128 demonstration!

bitwise · Sep 15, 2005

sp0rsk, i'm dissapointed in you.

vatstep · Sep 15, 2005

Thank GOD for no black friday launch

Red Scarlet · Sep 15, 2005

What an odd way to observe JFK's assassination.

Zeo · Sep 15, 2005

Damn, I was hoping for the November 5th date.

Mr. Lemming · Sep 15, 2005

Damnit Microsoft, why couldn't you do it earlier in the month. Now Thanksgiving is going to be Girlfriend Home From College Fun Time VS. X360 Fun Time.

Thank god it isn't black friday though. I dislike the crowds.

vatstep · Sep 15, 2005

Regardless, looks like I've got an excuse to skip Thanksgiving!

IAmtheFMan · Sep 15, 2005

Son of a bitch. I've got an exam that day.

Guess I'll have to forget about the midnight launch. Graaaahhh.

Kabuki Waq · Sep 15, 2005

Couldn't they have made it a week earlier to coincide with the Xbox's 4th anniversary?

Japan gets GOOD pricing decisions...

In addition to confirming a launch price of 37,900 YEN (almost $350 USD) for Xbox 360, Microsoft's predictably avoiding a dual SKU launch in the land of the rising sun. Japan will receive one version of Xbox 360 loaded with the removable 20GB HD, wireless controller, an media remote control, an headset, an ethernet cable, batteries and a component HD-AV cable.

Its cheaper in Japan -_-

Ecrofirt · Sep 15, 2005

But they're only sending 2 systems to Japan, so they can afford the $50 extra in losses.

Miburou · Sep 15, 2005

I can't believe MS is giving America the big FU! That's like biting the hand that feeds you.

And the JP price is cheaper than the launch prices of both the PS1 and PS2.

Cheaper in Japan? Does that price include tax? If so, fuck the US, I'll pay the shipping charges and save a bit.

You have it wrong. The events happen first, then MS' launches. MS is only trying to bring joy to the people in their time of need.

PS.

Judement Day September 2010.
