Really looking forward to this but I've been out of the loop so can you fill in a few details for me:

* Has a launch price for the UK been announced yet?

* X-box live, what's the pricing for it? I've heard of this silver/gold service, how does it work and what is the difference price wise? (If you know of course).

* On a scale of 1 to hell yes, is Perfect Dark O gonna be the greatest thing to grace the earth?

* Is it still due this year in Europe?

* Game prices... anyone know?


Who else will be snapping one up on day one?

As they are developing it to make wireless internet cheaper I highly doubt it as it'd ruin the point.

It isn't 100% backwards compaitble... they need to create some downloadable code or something to get it working properly.

I wanted to get JSRF you see so did some research into it.

I'm sure it was confirmed that the Xbox 360 was backwards compatible. I've never seen mentioned anywhere whether this playability carries over onto online play as well, which is why I was wondering if anyone knew.

I sure as hell hope so, seeing as I want to get rid of that PS2 as soon as possible. The only reason I still have it is for PES games, and if they're playable online on the 360, which I'm already about 90% confident I'll be getting, then there's no reason for me not to cash in as soon as possible.

It might not even be playable on the 360 to start with. But I imagine it would be playable online. Especially as subscription to X-box live carrys over.

Another Xbox 360 question I've been wanting to know the answer to...


Will Xbox games be playable online on Xbox 360?

Because I want to get PES5 on Xbox, but only if it's playable on the 360. This way I'd be able to sell my PS2 wihtout fear of missing out on the greatest football game ever online.

Yep.

I'll wait for a drop in the offline titles before getting them.

I'm pretty sure I'll be getting a 360, although there is only one game I like the look of at the moment. If there's enough games to interest me nearer the time, I'll get one on day one, if not, I'll wait for a price drop.

It cost me £50 and Nintendo are producing their own wireless router.

Oh come on! If you want a good X-box online service you buy the Gold card. As I will.

I want Fable : Lost chapters, Hitman Bloodmoney, Worms 4, Serious Sam 2, Painkiller, Darkwatch and a few others that I've forgotten about. I'll most likely wait for a price reduction on most of those. But there's still old games that I always wanted to play that I never got around to, to keep me busy.
