Since it hasn't been said yet, by anyone, in this thread, I'll make it my duty to reply. The "backwards" compatibility comes from the console's ability to play old games, NOT the old games ability to be played on the new console.

/sarcasm off

indeed. though i just figured out i get the 24hr period of tuesday to play it before i have to go to the G-mas for Thanksgiving

wow, rolla really is boring. hugh?

yep

LOL, Spawn camp the 360!!!

Well, Wally World has games on sale. Kameo was out, and when I asked the guy about getting it, he said they got in PGR3 today, but it was still in a box. I asked if it was for sale, he called around, and I walked out with a shiny new 360 game. I can't guarantee it will be available when the system launches (I only reserved Madden back in St. Peters), so I picked it up. Put it in your computer's DVD drive, have XP open the video files, and it tells you to put the disc in an Xbox 360. Booklet was a good read, though...

I'm lucky enough to get a pre-order and actually get it.

I get it 8am in the morning from UPS where I work. Even got 6 games coming with the bundle i ordered. So am I the only one who knows that they're getting one for sure? Or is everyone waiting outside Wal-mart and K-mart?

well inside walmart

people already have their xbox 360s from every10minutes

Yep, I'm number 1 in line at the Gamestop in St. Peters. Picking it up at midnight. I already have PGR3 and a wired controller (which works great on the PC, highly recommended), and I have Madden pre-ordered and am thinking about picking up a faceplate for fun.

either i got a retard at walmart or they are sold out at walmart

though he probably dosent know what he was talking about, because he called it project gotham city.

where did you find the remote?

there are retards at walmart? well holy shit!

Online... Ebgames.com and Gamestop.com are selling them now, but I got mine off of eBay a couple of weeks ago (and paid a premium for it, too). It's extremely comfortable. I can't hardly play on a normal "S" controller anymore after using it. Well, Kameo was displayed, but the lady remarked, "I don't think I was supposed to display those. I didn't notice the 360 on it." However, they let me have PGR3, so if you bug them, I think you can convince them. Just ask for Ryan or Shelly, because that's who they kept calling wondering if they could sell the game to me.

Yeah I've been wanting to pick one up for PC. Do they have any at walmart yet? I'm too lazy to go there and look.

Nope. When Microsoft released the controllers about 3 weeks ago, I tried everyday because I didn't want to spend the extra $15 or so to order it off of eBay. No luck, even today when I bought PGR3. Games are up, but no fucking accessories. Funny, the same person that insited nothing Xbox 360 related would be sold until the 22nd sold me my game today...

i went to sam goody and they have absolutely nothing 360 yet.
