The Xbox 360 (Pre)orders thread

[Fuddle]

nooooo, you got it the wrong way round.... ridge shouldnt be delayed, leave that rubbish pgr for a later date instead i say
:P

it won't come out on release, microsoft won't allow for another racing game that looks nice to come out at launch.

<sales person mode> Dude, you do get ?7 back on your loyalty card when you buy the 360 though </sales person mode>

So there!

And a free DVD as well, suddenly life seems complete 8)

Caved in and added Perfect Dark Zero to my order from Game, also added Burnout Revenge and Shadow of the Collosus in the hope of getting enough points to get a free game.... Still only ?15 for all the orders I just put in. I suppose that is enough for a charge and play pack...

Just been on the Game website & it appears that if you didn't order the Premium Pack before 2:30pm today chances are pretty slim you'll get one at launch/ before Xmas....

No doubt we can expect to see some ridiculously inflated prices on ebay at launch (esp. if it's this year's hot Xmas gift).

Hope so, i'm not too sure if this will be the top gift or the PSP

Feck left it too late

[H-Man]

Bugger :/

Anywhere else taking preorders?

[SubparMario]

Surely not? Pull out all the stops to launch well ahead of the competition then waste a valuable sales period by not being able to supply enough consoles

I've just been expecting to walk in to a shop and buy one on launch. For some reason I have a hard time believing Joe Public cares about X360.

Screw it, I've placed a preorder on a different site. Doesn't get charged until dispatch so it's a nice safety net I can always cancel!

I agree with you there mate, it's only been a few weeks since those car models came about has it not? i'd imagine if it was closer to completion then there might at least be a few screenshots floating about.

Having said that there's been no interest for Ridge in the store I work in, is that the same in your store?

Yeah man, most people haven't a clue that ridge is coming for the 360. Not having a release date or any info whatsoever doesnt exactly help us in making people aware.
Its fairly depressing really, as most people seem to be pre-ordering nba and madden, and even the multi-format king kong, instead of the decent games that will be available. Our store is also yet to take any pre orders for the core system, but that will undoubtedly change when the pre-orders for the platinum pack run out.

Yeah, gameplay are great.

Does anyone here work for GAME? Just wondering if anyone knows what their store allocations are for units? There are rumours of less than 20 going around!

Are they any good? ANY GOOD YOU SAY?!

Best online retailer I've used. Consistently deliver the goods before release date. Great customer support. Great prices.

Can't go wrong really.

We havent heard anything yet at the store I work at mate. We are a positively tiny store, so we will probably be getting a small allocation. But 20?! Thats nearly not worth bothering with.
