Well, here's the thing... I dunno if this has been posted or not, I'll go look over the previos posts and edit if any of it has.
Microsoft is doing quite possibly one of the dumbest things ever for the 360. They're releasing two versions... the 360, and the 360 Core.
The core is JUST the base system... none of the real features. No hard-drive, no wireless, no internet. The things that actually made the XBox liveable. They're releasing the core for bout $300 or so, bout $100 cheaper than the actual system.
The reason that Microsoft is coming out with it this x-mas, is so they can rush it out before the other two, and try and knock em off before they get a chance to establish their next-gen systems. So they're pretty much screwing themselves over by rushing their system out, most likely, months before it's ready.
I'm guessing the 360 will kinda be like DS. It'll get a great shot to really establish itself, but it will most likely fall short, and give its competitors an easy time getting in.

So. They've finally made it to New Zealand. The X-box was made available to people in New Zealand about...lets see. 2 weeks ago now. I meant to post then but the boards wouldn't let me on >_<. Haven't got one myself. But I think it might be interesting to see this board unfold over the days
