Comments on: More Xbox 360 Info http://www.stonesand.net/2005/08/31/43/ Geektime Thu, 29 Jul 2010 15:43:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: MadMarc http://www.stonesand.net/2005/08/31/43/comment-page-1/#comment-482 MadMarc Thu, 01 Sep 2005 23:26:09 +0000 http://oregonstate.edu/~brewsteb/2005/08/31/43/#comment-482 I am going to master my typing skills and copy word for word what it said about the "better package..." "An Uber 360 could be availiable some time shortly after launch, kitted out with extra controllers, a bigger hard drive, and possibly games pre-installed on the hard drive" There was also this that they had to say "The craziest rumor dug up was of an Uber package maybe priced around $700-$900 - that has either a much larger hard drive or is essentially a Media Center PC with a built in Xbox 360. There was also a suggestion that Halo 2.5 would be pre installed on this hard drive. If this does happen, you heard it hear first!" That comes from the "All Access" section of the Official Xbox Magazine pages 22-23. They also said that various retail stores are going to have kiosks where you can bring in your Xbox 360 memory unit and download various goodies. I think that is kind of cool, and it is a great incentive for buying a memory card for the 360. Also there is the German Gaming Convention that is coming up very soon and Microsoft is on the record as saying that they are going to release some BIG news about the 360. I don't know if this convention has already happened. Hopefully you guys can dig up some stuff on that and let us know what you find. I am going to master my typing skills and copy word for word what it said about the “better package…”

I read on planetxbox360 that 3 major retailers (unnamed) have cited an email from M$ that stated the Xbox 360 will launch on the 25th of November, black Friday. I was really hoping that I could get it before Thanksgiving, as I wanted to show it off to my family. I sincerely hope that it does release on the 15th. Well, have fun on your Xbox-- Sandy and I will tell you all about the 360 goodness. XD Of course it’s a trap, women aren’t stupid.
