To me, that means November, but I guess October could be a possibility, too. I think August is a bit early, but who knows. I do know, however, that it will be released this year. I have also heard that the price will be somewhere around $299 - $359 US. The PS3 on the other hand won't be available until around Spring of 2006 and will be around $449 - $499 US. The biggest differences in the price gap are due to the CPU and GPU production cost for the PS3 systems. It looks like a monster of a machine (not to say that the 360 won't be), but I don't see myself paying an extra $100 - $200 for a games system. PS3 will also be using Blue Ray discs rather than HD DVD like the Xbox 360. Again, I don't see paying the extra money for it. Bring on the Xbox 360 and give me my fix of Halo 3![/quote] The price point for the 360 according to Gamestop is $399.99 and the release date is sometime in November. And it does not currently have HD DVD it is using a standard DVD tray, though if the fans scream for their HD DVD format they may get it and have to pay an extra 100 dollars per machine for it. The thing is that with the way they program games, and I don't know all the specifics, the current DVD discs are being maxed out, so how can they have longer better games in higher resolutions on small storage spaces? I'm thinking that they are going to have to have 2 discs for all games, one for downloading content to your hardrive, the other for basic game operations, like they do for some computer games. I would also like to voice my opinion that setting up a temporary (20 minutes +) ban of anyone who leaves a game prematurely would be a great idea and would severly cut down on cheating, but that is more for Xbox Live than for Bungie to figure out, and it would also mean that anyone who's modem is broken would be getting banned frequently, but some people just need to get new hardware. I would also like to say that if you are posting into an official forum and don't know what it is, please don't post and ask what it's for, that is stated in the forum description. And if you don't know how to spell something, open up your word processor, attempt to spell it, and then use spell correction. If this seems like too big a hassle for you, then don't be offended if it seems like too big a hassle for Frankie and Bungie to try and decipher your post and wade through your typos just to tell you that you can't be banned for one person leaving you feedback. Get a Whaaaambulance. Finally I would like to say thanks to Bungie for taking the time to answer some questions, which they don't have to do, and for taking their time in making great games that look and play great. Also I would like to see a Mister Chief playing Halo 2 against Frankie, and wonder what the score might be if they could?
