Question on Xbox Live release date

[Achika]

Is it tomorrow or Saturday? Six Switch said he was getting his tomorrow in another thread, but all the websites (Xbox.com Retailers group, gamestop, eb, etc.) say that tomorrow is the ship date. Whereas product would be recieved Saturday, 11/16. The Xbox.com actual site says tomorrow 11/15.

I'm getting mine Saturday, as Funco employees can apparently get serious repremands if they sell them a day early (ie Friday) But if they sell tomorrow, I'll be at Meijers at 12 midnight tonight/tomorrow grabbing mine. :twisted:

All I know is that it better get here soon, or i'm going to EXPLODE! :o

[Achika]

Ok....just got back from Meijers. I hate that store now. They have no idea when the Xbox Live kit is going to be out (but if it comes out today, it won't be stocked until 2 pm) Just great, it doesn't help me at 1 in the morning.

And there was not an E-card in sight! No games, no AC cards.

I went to Target, and it really sucked to see that they were clearing out all the older Xbox games, and making room for the new, I just know they had those blasted things in the back, but they denied it, of course!

If you are itching for some online gaming, I can play on Unreal for Dreamcast, or Quake 3, I had PSO but had to buy a new Dreamcast, and can't use it anymore, Sega really sucked for doing that.

just got the X-box Newsletter so I guess It's already out.


Xbox Live goes live!
It’s finally here! Online gaming has been a big part of the Xbox vision from Day One—that’s why you’ve already got an Ethernet port on the back of your Xbox. Now, on the one-year anniversary of the Xbox video game system, Xbox Live is a reality!

No longer just a beta program for a mere 35,000 lucky participants, Xbox Live is open to everyone with a high-speed Internet connection and an Xbox Live Starter Kit. If you don’t have your Starter Kit yet, don’t delay. Get your kit, choose a gamertag and START PLAYING TODAY!

See you online!





Thanks

When you do get it, make MechAssault the first game you pick up and invite AlexKidd (me) to a game. Also, Team Destruction is by far the best mode IMO.

[Achika]

Hmm, Mech Assault is a no go here. But if Steel Battilion is online, then I'll play. I can't resist a 40 button controller! :P

Neo-Jorge: thanks for the info, but the problem with publications are that they are printed months in advance. Microsoft can't control the mail (I'm sure they've tried har har), so you may get that today while little Johnny down the block gets it monday.

Achika, if you can't find it in Flint/Detroit you can always hop the border to Windsor and pick it up at a FutureShop. They even have a deal to save $20 (CAN) on MechAssault.

[Six Switch]

[ShinobiMan]

I'm getting it later today and Unreal Championship I believe, look me up under ShinobiMan of course.

[Six Switch]

Yes,I just called over ot EB and they do have it in.Thank God I preordered it,cause they have none left if you didn't,just like most stores.I just hope they ship a hell of alot more than Nintendo did,damn them. :D ;) :roll:

[Achika]

Well I got mine today, seeing as how my boss thought the 15th was tomorrow (saturday). He's a great guy, but totally clueless when I'm not there to remind him of appointments, release dates, & to call his wife. LOL

Curse my folks for not having broadband! I have to wait till tomorrow to sign up!
