"Any idea of launch titles yet?"

I've not pre-ordered a 360, waiting to see if there is anything worth paying for the console at launch for.

Anyone know if these have been confirmed as anything other than "launch window" yet?

If Madden is a launch day title, then that'll do for me. A racer and an FPS will probably be extra buys.

I'm not trying to point score and proclaim love for the PSP. I'm simply saying you shouldn't be dismissive and there are many improvements, I wouldn't expect the batteries fail in the same way that the GB did, these probably just need a recharge.

What was that? Battery failure?

The PSP Battery doesn't work long enough to 'fail'. It's so short on life that all PSP's have to be considered 'faulty'.

Haha.

It depends, I used to spend session of about seven hours (with breaks, as I got heaaches and we reached service stations) in long car journeys between England and Scotland.

And that's just on a Gameboy colour, the game (Dragon Warrior Monster) was relatively unheard of and not very technical but I loved the Pokemon elements, such as 'collecting' animals by killing enough to get their medal.

It a game like that can be played for hours then a sophisticated and modern game on a console where things like tunnels or battery failure don't hamper the machine on journeys so much, or where you might decide to play that instead of a console, could obviously be played for hours, especially a game like GTA.

It looks crap. It'll control bad. And no-one can play a portable for long enough in one go to make a good session of it.

In my opinion...

That's another thing with me, I'm not anticipating any games due out on the 360 particularly eagerly.

When I got my Xbox I looked forward to Halo, JSRF, Blinx and numerous other games whereas the 360 sees repackaging of tried and tested Xbox games that I never liked much anyway (like DOA)

One of the games I've been looking forward to since the launch of the Xbox is BC, yet now that has seemingly slipped into oblivion and is scheduled for a 360 launch.

It's best to bide your time and wait until stock is available, the prices have fallen and there's games that aren't just floorfillers.

Ah, Bonus

Here's a nice little article on the top 10 release games (the site editors choice of course) and some others due at launch

I'm beginning to thin that way too.

I'll wait and see what is actually on offer in terms of new things to catch my interest instead of just games I've already got with a higher resolution.

I'm thoroughly enjoying my PSP at the moment and Liberty City Stories looks more engaging than most of the 360 launch games.

Exactly what I'm thinking, and I'm still having fun on the Xbox itself at the moment anyway.

I'll wait for a drop in price and good titles before I shell out, after all, Xbox games will be reduced in price after the 360's launch.

Eurgh, I'll pass.
