XBOX 360 = November 22nd
According to News.com, MSFT has announced that the XBOX 360 will be released in North America on November 22nd, just as the Christmas shopping season kicks in.
Although I have been really excited about the 360 for several months, I have decided not to pick one up at launch. Why? The games. All of the games that I have been really wanting to buy are already available on the XBOX -- Madden 06, NHL 2K6, Burnout Revenge.
I'm not going to wait until late November to buy games (for $60 a pop) that are available now (for $50 a pop), especially when I would need to shell out $400 for the new console first.
So until there are some great, new games for the 360, I'm not buying.
