Re: Gears of War 11/12/06
Now all I need is a price drop on the hardware a couple months earlier and I'll be good to go.

Welp Nov. 21 is the one year mark. Maybe they will do something.

Re: Gears of War 11/12/06
I'm hoping for a price drop too... I will be playing Halo 3 on release day, no matter how far into debt I need to go! 
If I can get a 360 with a good game, well, all the better!

Re: Gears of War 11/12/06
Although I'd really like to play GOW, I have a feeling I'll be snagging a used copy of GOW and a preowned 360 when Halo 3 comes out.
I've been blowing my money on vacations, girlfriends, and whatnot. I'm a little short on next gen console money.

Those in Canadia might be in luck. The rest of us- ok, you- appear to be out of luck. (Blame the even higher price of PS3).
I've got mine, Jack.
Emergence Day- bring it on.

The day after the PS3 launches… what a surprise. Microsoft is none too subtle.

Actually it's late. Most retailers and fans had a late Oct. date pegged.

I'm hedging that it was purposely pushed back.

Re: Gears of War 11/12/06
Word is the actual ship date is Nov. 7th and Nov. 12th (a Sunday by the way) is the day it's guaranteed to be everywhere.

What a coincidence big products are shipping at the start of the Xmas buying season.

Given Bill Gate's lovely statements about launching Halo 3 the day of the PS3 launch, it's pretty damn naive of you to not see this for what it is.
