Default Which system have you pre-ordered?

Just wondering what system you all ordered? I got the bumper pack one with the hard disk.

What did you all order?

I haven't ordered yet! Im racing down to my local Gamesation on release date to get on, or might pre-order one from there nearer the time!

Though, I should really start thinking about it now!

Mate I got an email from game telling me that unless you ordered the advanced pack on the first day you have got no chance. They still have loads of the core systems though. I can imagine the q's are gonna be a nightmare on release night

It does make sense considering the HD is an extra £69.99

Doesn't it work out that if you want the basic and then want to buy other stuff it comes out to more than the advanced?

Why anyone would want to buy the basic is beyond me....:S

But then again its a heafty price tag on my end.

Its a hefty price on anyones end.

If you dont have the cash to spend on the premier bundle, you can buy a core bundle and get memory card. That will allow you to save stuff. Over time, you can buy the other accessories.

Yeah good point.

Plus I still have full faith that if the PS3 has all they say. It will be $500USD.....

I remember when gaming systems were cheapy!

I remember I bought my Nintendo 64 for $200CDN which is probably a couple of pounds

Prices usually always drop. In 8 years time you'll probably be able to pick the Xbox 360 brand new for about £50.

Also take into account of inflation since the days of SNES and Mega Drive.

Usually its 2 years and the price drops in half, maybe three years.

Or you just re-release the system smaller and sexier....*shakes head at Sony*

Judging by what I heard, the current next gen will be around for the next 10 years. PS2-PS3 is what, 6 years?

The fact that most games on Xbox 360 will come with downloadable content will be good, as once you complete the game, you can download more maps/levels/characters etc, and as for stuff like Final Fantasy, seems like the game will never end.

The only problem from a financial stand point is that you have to get paid. You can't just update a game for 10 years and get no financial return on it. Then again the downloads could cost money or of course the Xbox Live fee (by the way how will that work?).

And yeah the PS2 was 6 years. I remember on October...25th maybe 2000 I went to go pick mine up on pre-order. And its still alive! I know about 3 people who have went through one PS2 with it ----ing up.

I went through 3, DVD's ruin the thing. My brother left my PS2 on overnight with a DVD playing the menu screen all night. Stuck a game in the tray next morning and wouldnt read it, wouldnt read anything after that.

You went through 3 *eyes pop out of head*, thats just bad no wonder you now pimp the Xbox .

The only problem I have had was some slowdown on newer games because mine doesn't have pro scan.

Im a big fan of all consoles. Xbox and PS3 mainly, I generally just dislike the Nintendo Revolution. Big colourful characters in kiddyish style generally puts me off.

But this will not be an Xbox site constantly slagging off the PS3, thats for sure.
