Although they hardly needed any more amunition, Microsoft and Nintendo must be cackling over their cornflakes at the prospects of this coming Xmas in Europe.

and guess what else is coming out in March 07? Halo 3....

DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!!!!!

Nows the time to buy a 360, boys and girls, before the rush starts.

...And I still think the massmarket is waiting for it.

I don`t see that there`s a huge rush to the 360 at the mo, because the attitude is still wait and see. I do like the 360, and have considered getting one but for a couple of reasons. I don`t think the software library is varied or interesting enough to warrant the purchase (too much guns and war for my tastes). And also M$ is putting a great deal of emphasis on the online gaming thing, which is a real turn off for me, and I suspect also alienates the wider market from it.

I expected this announcement from Sony, and I also reckon you`ll get a similar one from Nintendo soon. It`s not going to harm the PS3. Not one bit. If the 360 was going to pwn the market, it would surely have shown signs of doing so by now. It hasn`t really taken off imho, though who knows eh?

I personally think that Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (and probably the new fifa) being released in the next few months will make the big difference for casual gamers to plump for a 360 as there won`t be any choice for them this Christmas.

For me personally Pro Evolution was one of the main reasons for getting the 360.

I don`t think a lot of casual gamers will consider the Wii as people are scared of change.

Time to get a refund from Gamestation for my PS3 deposit. I ordered one to sell at christmas to help towards the cost of our wedding next year, not much point now as there will probably be plenty ready for the March release for those willing to spend £425!


Is that the time? Damn you Xbox 360!!!!

Almost every forum has a post like this :D but most of them were gutted about it going towards the cost of christmas. Was anyone actually planning on buying one and keeping it?

The best post I read went something like:

Thanks a lot Sony. I had three on pre-order to sell to go towards christmas presents. Not only do you not care about europe, you clearly dont care about christmas. You f***ing Grinches!

That is funny. :D

Some people eh! Oh sorry Timmy you can`t have any toys this christmas, blame Sony, it`s not my fault at all. Tosser, that is extremely greedy...3!!! hahaha

yeah, everybody hates those f***ing tossers that buy stuff like that just to try & make a few bucks out of some poor guy that just wanted to get "whatever" for the kids at xmas, but has to pay extra because some sniping c***s got something they don`t even want just to turn a swift & s***y profit, thats one of the things that gives ebay a bad name, the c***s that do this kind of thing.


oh right......

EDIT= sorry about the snotty post :¦ time of month :(

Not suprised by this at all. With the release looming it seemed a bit too good to be true.

Definitely will have to get a Wii now. ;)
