 		Xbox 360 Launch dates
Quote:

TOKYO Sept. 15, 2005 Fueling global anticipation for the arrival of its powerful new video game and entertainment system, Microsoft Corp. today announced that Xbox 360&153; will arrive on store shelves Tuesday, Nov. 22 in North America, Friday, Dec. 2 in Europe, and Saturday, Dec. 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.



From the official press release at Microsquish's Pre-Tokyo Game Show Press Conference. Get ready for a massive Thanksgiving all you crazed Yanks. Now I am stuck trying to figure out how to get one.

 		Dang...

My girlfriend's birthday is the 24th... which means I'll have no money to purchase a 360 right off the bat... Eh... well.

 		Angelo... Pre-pay for the 360 so then you have money for both. Smile

 		Exactly, I have already pre-paid for my Xbox 360 high-def bundle with another extra down for three titles at launch.

 		Microsoft has not confirmed if the bundles will be available past launch. However, I wouldn't worry as you should end up paying less than anyone who buys at launch as new sku's come out and prices are always going down, down, down.

As I understand it, if you already have an xbox live acount then it should transfer to XBL 2.0 with no fuss. I have also heard that you will be able to change SN on the fly with out losing your stats or droping off all your friends lists.
