At launch, of course.

Exactly what I was thinking. 

I agree..

We need a new gen badly...

at launch. I will preorder it and won't be at work for one week. Just like last time :D

Either after the first big game/ pricecut/ hardware revision. Whichever comes first.

Unless the PS4 is a major disappointment I probably won't buy it. I've decided not to go multi-console again; it was kind of a waste.

I'll be waiting to see if it's a pos that was shoved out the door like the 360. Otherwise I might just skip the next box. Microsoft burned me this gen, and it will take a bit to have me jump back on board. Which is sad, because other then the 360 being the least reliable product I've ever bought in my life it's an incredible machine, cheap, and home to some awesome exclusives.

First day

The day it releases.......because I have issues with being an impatient buyer.

I will buy the next XBox around two years after it has been launched.

Buying a console in its launch year is a waste of money. Generally there are very few good games released in the first year. Wait two or three years and pick it up for a lower price with a much bigger games library. Anyway a lot of the early hardware issues would of been fixed up after two years.
