Anyone think it will be possible to buy one anywhere on launch day, or will they all go straight to the pre-order customers?

I believe in the US the games and accessories went on sale about 2 weeks before console launch, so its a definate possibility

Would have liked Gears Of War to be a launch title, but looks like PGR3 & Perfect Dark Zero for me to begin with.

Already got CoD 2 on the PC - IMHO its more a PC game than a console game. Having played the original and Medal of Honour on both PC and Xbox, I always went back to and preferred the PC for them. CoD 2 is still a fecking great game though - top graphics too

PGR3 for me but stuck between Perfect Dark Zero & COD 2 for an FPS.

Quite like the look of King Kong too when it comes out...

Regards getting one on launch day - I was told by an HMV staff member that all stores would be getting some for general sale, so it's just a case of getting there early enough...
