We knew it was coming in November but the actual date has been unknown. Microsoft will usher in the era of next generation gaming on November 22nd in North America, December 2nd in Europe, and December 10th in Japan. So, mark your calendars and payoff your reserve because the launch date is just around the cornerOfficial Press Release Tokyo—Fueling global anticipation for the arrival of its powerful new video game and entertainment system, Microsoft® today announced that Xbox 360™ will arrive on store shelves Tuesday, November 22 in North America, Friday, December 2 in Europe, and Saturday, December 10 in Japan. The announcement, made on the eve of Tokyo Game Show 2005, marked the first time that a game console will be launched in three territories in the same time frame. In preparation for what is expected to be massive worldwide demand for the new system, Microsoft also announced that Xbox 360 manufacturing is under way, with state-of-the-art facilities producing millions of units ultimately bound for frenzied gamers' homes from Osaka, Japan, to Oxford, England, and Orlando, Fla.
Microsoft also announced Japanese pricing of Xbox 360. Japanese gamers looking for the ultimate digital entertainment thrill ride and best value right out of the box may purchase an Xbox 360 system, which comes fully loaded with a 20GB detachable Xbox 360 Hard Drive for storing music, video and games, an Xbox 360 Wireless Controller, an Xbox 360 Media Remote control, an Xbox 360 Headset, a Component HD-AV Cable for connecting to component and composite television inputs, an Ethernet cable, and batteries, at 37,900 JPY.* Add Comment  1 -

That isn't Right!!!Unregistered - Next-Gen Fan 09.15.2005 05:19 A do you know what microsoft is doing? Japan Gamers don't have to worry about the core system, Their getting all the Premium SKU's. They said the reason why they are not shipping any Core Systems over there is because most of their game require the Hard drive. Bullshit! If their doing that for them, why won't they do that for us! I know that microsoft is trying to get in good over there in japan, but come on that isn't fair. I believe that if they get all Premium SKU then Americans and Europeans deserve it too! I also know that it is coming out later but what about the people here in America and in Europe that are on the list for second or third or even forth shipment? I don't like this at all! I said it before and I will say it again, it isn't fair! 31 -

Whats Next????Unregistered - HyperBear 09.16.2005 00:16 Now that Xbox 360 is set in stone and on its way in 2 months, and will probably last about 4 years in the gaming world. My question is, What is next for Team Xbox @ Microsoft? Will they work on the 2010 edition of an Xbox (ex. Xbox 720???) or will they go back to old school and come out with the older version of what Xbox 360 is now, Xenon??? or will they just create something that will totally blow the minds off of all video gamers in the world and take total control of Gaming in the World????? Any thoughts to what you guys think might be next for Team Xbox ???????? 61 -
Rev's controllerUnregistered - Anonymous Coward 09.16.2005 04:18 I'm sorry to put this here, but go check out 1up.com's story on the Rev's controller. I know I should put a link, but I didn't think about it. WARNING!! Do not drink anything while you read it, you will spit your drink out of your nose while laughing uncontrollably. MS and Sony have nothing to fear. 62 -

Unregistered - Anonymous Coward 09.16.2005 13:03 LOL @ 60! Man, the 360 is not even on store shelves yet and you already worryin about the 2010. I'm still waitin for 11/22/05 let alone 11/22/10. 64 -
your choiceassjacket 09.16.2005 21:07 Well since this thread is for commenting on the launch date i would like to ask everyone what titles they are thinking about getting when the system does launch? i'm most interested in; Oblivion, Ghost Recon AW, Perfect Dark Zero, and Need For Speed MW. What games do you guys think will kick ass when they come out? 65 -
Unregistered - Anonymous Pimp 09.16.2005 23:22 I think i'll start with perfect dark zero, then after that it'll probably be cool til guilds of war hit the shelves. I cant really think of nothin else i want right now. Other than my beautiful baby (xbox 360) 66 -
Unregistered - Anonymous Coward 09.17.2005 04:34 i pre-ordered mine about 6 weeks ago and i cant wait no more its doin my head in . i will b gettin ghost recon on the day its released so meet me on there my gamertag is WEDGEY. GOOD luck to who dares to face me 67 -
