I skipped the preorder fiasco and got mine at Wal-Mart by waiting in line 8 hours before midnight. Premium system. Very well organized and a pleasant experience. Anyone else?

Does it have Pong???

Are you insane? It's a console - not a time machine! :laugh:

Actually I'm sure you can get Pong through the Live Marketplace. ------------------------------------- Do not do what has already been done. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.. but it ROCKS absolutely, too.

I'd argue that. An X-box most certainly is a time machine. You can take a lot of time standing in line to get one. You will spend a lot of time saving money to buy one. You will waste a lot of time that you could be using to make money as you play one. All of those things are a factor of time. So I would say that the X-box is indeed a time machine. ;P

Isn't that what they mean by agression testing? Wait, perhaps that was regression testing. Either way, they pad it into their estimates. ;P

True, games on an XBox waste so much time, that`s why I play games on my PC instead:laugh:
