    Default I love the 360...and my wallet hates it.

    I am gonna be so unbelievably happy and poor by mid-November it's ridiculous. Just look at this list of upcoming 360 releases:

    Splinter Cell Double Agent
    Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07
    Marvel Ultimate Alliance
    Phantasy Star Universe
    Need For Speed Carbon
    Blitz The League Overtime
    Call of Duty 3
    Tony Hawk's Project 8
    Fuzion Frenzy 2
    F.E.A.R.
    Star Trek Legacy
    Gears of War
    Rainbow Six Vegas
    Viva Pinata
    Sonic the Hedgehog
    College Hoops 2K7

    Not all of these are for everyone, of course...but you can't tell me there aren't a LEAST 5-10 of these that catch your eye. And then there's new XBLA greatness, Guitar Hero II, Power Stone Collection...and of course two whole new systems to check out and get games for. I don't know how I'm gonna go about getting all the new titles I'd like to get, and I probably will have to pick and choose...cest la vie, I guess.

    So...what's YOUR wallet's status shaping up to be this holiday season?

    I see about 6 on that list.

    -Splinter Cell D.A.
    -Phantasy Star Universe (also the $10 a month)
    -Call of Duty 3
    Star Trek Legacy (I loathe Star Trek, but this game actually looks fun)
    -Gears of War
    -Rainbow 6 - Vegas

    I dunno about Viva Pinata, that may be for my nephews. And I wasn't altogether pleased with the Sonic demo.

    Already beaten FEAR on my PC. But I may give it another go for the achievement points. And I'll definately buy it if the PC expansion pack is phased into the 360 version. But that's unlikely...

    Lets not also forget the money I'll probably be spending on getting some arcade titles.

    Gears of War

    I'm looking at 3 titles this November.

    Sadly, that won't be the end of my spending. I'll end up picking up a Wii and Zelda on the 19th too.

    Too expensive...sheesh....might have to spread this stuff out.

    The only ones I'm interested in TRYING off that list are Gears of War and maybe Viva Pinata. Im looking more toward next year when Eternal Sonata and, hopefully, Blue Dragon come out here.

    It's a PSP game, though I wish it would hit XBLA...that would be amazing.

    Phantasy Star Universe*

    Star Trek Legacy

    Gears of War


    * Phantasy Star will be keeping me very busy for a long time. I kind of feel ashamed that I honestly wont be giving any of my other games and time real soon.

    Didn't realize I still had Star Wars Legacy in my list but I haven't really looked at it, so I am not sure about it.

    I also added in Smackdown vs Raw 2007
