I decided to take a break from playing Maple Story one day and decided to go to Target. Walked to the enterance and saw like 4 people standing outside. Some other guy asked them what the line was for and I overheard them. It was for the launch of the 360. I had no idea it was being released. They still had spots left for the Pro model. I walked around Target for a bit.Got bored and walked out. The line was still small. I decided to stand there for a bit and got hungry. Decided to leave and go to my girlfriend's house. This was around 6PM. talked about it for a bit and decided to go back to Target and stand in line. I had nothing better to do, other than Maple Story leveling. Got to Target at 9PM. Lost a spot for the Pro model. The weather wasn't very friendly the whole time. It was freezing rain and windy. Around 12AM some lady drove by trying to sell a Core system that she bought from Walmart for $100 more. Stood in line till 6AM. They handed out vouchers. Went home and bragged about it to my Maple Story friends for a bit. Went back to Target at 8AM. Felll in love with it. I only liked the Original Xbox for the HD output. But the 360 is a bad ass gaming package.

I wanted a new gen console and at the time (March 2006), the 360 was the only one out, so I got it for that really, four years on, I'm very glad I did.



Because of Rare!!!!



gears of war 2 got me in...



Halo 3, Gears of War, Fable, and Mass Effect. So my answer is exclusives.
