"MTV XBox 360 Unveiling"

Well I'm currently in Florida and thought I'd quickly post about the unveiling which will be on later for you lot. ;-)

Well the console looks the nuts ! Want one now !!! Some longer game footage would have been nice, but it certainly gets you wanting to see even more. The game that gets most of the attention is Perfect Dark Zero. ;-)

You'll also see brief footage of......
PGR3
Quake 4
Kameo
Madden 2006

Plus a bunch of other games that I'm too knackered to list including a new Need for Speed game and Tony Hawk game. If I heard right in the answers as the annoying yank geek kept interupting with more questions at the Rare guys, Perfect Dark Zero should have around 50 players online. :-)

Anyway, I'm off to bed - seeya soon guys.

Before Xmas is all we know. But novemeber seems very likely as it's a popular month in the run up to Xmas. I rekon mid November as December is leaving it a bit late, MS will want to get loads of units out of the door before xmas.

my mate told me the Xbox360 is coming to us to buy in november this year. Is that right? Anyone know a date?

Yep, the dollar is worth just over half of the pound.

Yeah, the rates have been insane over the past year or so.

ooh it's dropped about 10p to the dollar since I last checked a year or so ago. Weird.

Live mid-market rates as of 2005.05.15 17:06:51 UTC.

$300.00 USD = £161.899 GBP

$300 will translate into £230 every time, just like everything.

Oh, and $300 doesnt= £162, it's more like £200. What exchange rate were you using?

Woah.
Have you read the list of games coming out on that page:
Call of Duty 2

^ I'll be buying just for the live-ness of that.

I like that:

"Nintendo is the dark horse. What is interesting is that they are looking to change who plays games and how you play games."

The dark horse indeed.

Yep it looks good. I'll check out the PS3 before making any rash decisions.

But Perfect Dark 0 ... I want.

It's more of a sim than PGR2.

Without online I think I'd be less likely to play it.
