Damn you must be hardcore if you're a Halo3/360 fan in Japan, we bow to you :)  So what's it going to take to get a lot of people to buy 360s over there?

Well I'm from the US (California), so maybe it's not that big of a surprise, haha. Just been living here for a year now.

I don't really know it just doesn't seem that big at all. The only ppl I know w/a 360 are ppl from other countries, besides JP. Game releases are usually later, besides the JP games. Hell I'm still waiting to get Madden 08, it finally gets released next week!! The Elite 360 is barely going to be launched next month(Oct.), etc.

I will probably get a few comments from friends and then continue playing super paper mario (sept 20.. wooooh)

it won't affect me at all.  I have a long stack of games to get through... I won't get to Halo3 until november/december...

unless my brother picks it up early and I try out his copy
