I am probably going to call again on friday to make sure they are getting enough systems in, and to verify a midnight launch.
I honestly can't see them NOT doing one, as they have done midnight launches for much less (Madden anyone?).

Yeah, I think I may get mine at midnight IF they have it at GAmeRush. I have a slow week of work that week, I have days to take off too, I might take Tuesday off (I have other things to do too).
Does your GameRush have any games in yet? I want to pick up some this week....just so I can stare at them.

I am just worried that Gamerush might not get enough units in. They only need 10, but I have heard of EB's and Gamestops supposedly getting less.

I'm talking about transferring 4 DIFFERENT accounts to each of our 360's. So at any given time a friend(s) could come over and his account is already on my 360 so we can hop online and play. Unless there is a way to link 360s and transfer data, the memory card is the only way right? This is what we do on the current box. All of our accounts are on each and every xbox we own.

Can you play as each account when you play...Like if 4 people were playing Halo 2 on your XBOX, do you each have your own gamertag? (I thought you just can have Guests)

I'm glad to see Quake is a launch title....I thought it was getting pushed back until December. With 6 launch games, I'll be busy...plus I MIGHT pick up an NBA and the NHL game (reviews pending)

Are there any official dates on non launch titles that will be coming out before Christmas? I'm wondering if these are going to basically be all we have to look forward to till the new year.

A lot of people that won the Pepsi contest here in Canada got their Xbox 360s today, along with Kameo. It was supposed to ship with NFS:MW or Madden 06, but there were delays with those two games, so it shipped with Kameo instead. One of the two aforementioned games will be shipped as well in the next couple of weeks.
I won, but I doubt I will get mine today, since I live on the East Coast. I am going away on Wednesday, so I probably won't get it until I am back in December.

I hope Top Spin lives up to the XBOX version. I guess 2K sports really f'd up the PS2 version....slowdown and other issues. I'll probably pass on it though....we'll see.

Wow, I thought Full Auto was going to be a launch "window" game too...oh well. Still a good launch. Not sure what other games I'll want...hopefully a few more come out between launch and X-mas. (Looks like DOA might be the only one)
