Title: Anybody Preorder XBOX
Post by: Ace on September 12, 2001, 02:33:08 AM

Hi,

I don\'t know if this has been asked already, but has anybody preorderd the XBOX? What bundle did you pick?

I was not going to do it, but I could not resist getting a new console.

I got Air Force Delta, Oddworld: Munch\'s Oddysee , and Project Gotham Racing.

I got it at a local EB for $499.00

I preordered 7 months ago so I have no bundle obligations

but I don\'t think I\'ll actually buy an Xbox at launch but I will get one before Christmas 2002

3 games and a machine for 500 bucks.  Oh my.  Does it come with 2 controllers?  I assume it does.

Videoholic,

Yeah, extra controller.

jetgrind,

How do you figure? I am not sure how much they are selling controllers for, but it has to be about $40 or so.

What can I say, I\'m weak.

i also heard somewhere that the prices are not equal to if you bought them all seperately. its off like 20-50 bucks in some bundles.

oh well, i wont be getting one anytime near launch, maybe after launch if i have 500$ i dont have anything to do with.

WHY did you pre order xbox? Sorry, but after flopping at multiple gameshows in simply isnt anything great. I think the system will sell millions in the future, but at launch..no thanks. Same goes withthe cube.

jetgrind,

Why must you depress me? ;)

I acted on impulse because I am weak when it comes to stuff like this.

I don\'t know, I think the system has a shot. But then again, I bought the 3DO at launch. :laughing:
