early 2006, possibly for christmas at the earliest. They are tryin gto find ways to keep costs down because as of right now, the suggest retail is around $500 while the XBOX360 is coming in around $300.

Mountain Dew/Pepsi is putting on a game where you can win an XBOX360 before it comes out.

I'd definitely get the wireless controllers. My couches are a good 15-20 ft away from the TV.

I'm planning on getting one of these systems. I just wonder if it's best to wait and see if there's a mod chip out for them to install a bigger hard drive or copy games to the HD. Is the PS3 really going to be around $500? That's rediculous. I'm going to have to spend another $2-300 in accessories on top of that too..

J-Ro, ur nailing me for being a dollar off? Very Happy

its all about marketing techniques, if i say its 299 it wont register in their mind that is really 300 bucks. those bluetooth controllers look nice. same with the tv recording software.

can't wait to see when the first modchip comes out for these things. Twisted Evil

Actually it will not be Bluetooth. They are making it wireless but not Bluetooth technology. They do not want to make it a proprietarily device like the PS3.

I’m sorry are we having the same conversation. I know the topic is PS3 but I was referring to your Xbox 360 pricing and specks post which will not have Bluetooth. Your articles above are for PS3. Did you forget what you were talking about? Great research though...
