August 10, 2005 - North American retailer Electronics Boutique, which expects Microsoft to ship the Xbox 360 as early as November 2, 2005 for an MSRP of $299.99, has comprised a complete, albeit questionable, list of 60 games for the console launch, IGN learned today from several EB outlets. The list IGN acquired from EB retailers today, features 21 launch titles, including three first-party games from Microsoft Game Studios -- Perfect Dark LE (i.e. Limited Edition), Kameo: Elements of Power, and Project Gotham Racing 3, approximate pricing, and sku numbers for every game. Microsoft representatives officially re-confirmed with IGN today Rare titles Perfect Dark and Kameo would definitely launch day and date with the system, echoing Vice President Peter Moore's comments prior to E3. "PGR3 should launch with the system, if everything works according to plan." said a Microsoft representative. "But those first two (Perfect Dark and Kameo) are our big pushes for day one." The full list, posted here alphabetically, includes: * Amped 3 (2K Games) * Call of Duty 2 (Activision) * Condemned (Sega) * Dead Or Alive 4 (Tecmo) * Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (Bethesda) * Final Fantasy XI (Microsoft) * Full Auto (Sega) * Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter * Gun (Activision) * Kameo: Elements of Power (Microsoft) * Madden NFL 06 (EA) * NBA 2K6 (2K Games) * NHL 2K6 (2K Games) * The Outfit (THQ) * Perfect Dark LE (Microsoft) * Project Gotham Racing 3 (Microsoft) * Quake 4 (Activision) * Ridge Racer 6 (Namco) * Saints Row (THQ) * Tony Hawk's American Wasteland (Activision) * Top Spin 2 (2K Games) There were noticeable mistakes, however. The Godfather, for instance, was still listed as a launch title, even though EA officially announced its delay until Q1 2006. Too Human Part 1 was included, and Microsoft officially told IGN that was incorrect (duh). It also listed Burnout Revenge as a launch title, even though EA confirmed with IGN that a version of Burnout Revenge wouldn't appear until 2006. Xbox 360 second wave launch titles, which EB has scheduled for November 16, include the majority of Electronic Arts' games: * Burnout Revenge * FIFA Soccer 06 * Peter Jackson's King Kong * NBA Live 06 * Need For Speed Most Wanted * Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 Namco's Frame City Killer is listed as releasing November 19, 2005. EB's own data includes a $59.99 price for every Xbox 360 game, except one, Kameo, which listed at $49.99. The retailer told IGN that software prices weren't fixed yet, as Microsoft, third-party publishers, and presumably North American retailers agree on a firm prices. EB even has Halo 3 listed as shipping July 1, 2006, presumably the same day as Sony's PlayStation 3.
Holy Crap! I'm liking that list. Tempting to buy the thing now... Oblivion, Perfect Dark, Quake, Burnout, Call of Duty! Wow!
Thanks for the Info dude I wasnt too sure which of the Games were hitting us on Release, Some pretty Decsent titles, and quite an amount..
Xbox live + quake 4 + a bunch of noobies = ME OWNING AND SHOUTING AND EUSTHAUFNH@&H!U!N!! I'm really excited about the launch of 360+quake4, as you can see
heh im glad xbox 360 comes with a headset so we dont have to buy one ^_^ [/b][/quote] Yea man, the only reason I'm buying a 360 is cuz I been playing q3 since 99 and I still love it, but I doubt my comp will be able to handle quake4 when it comes out for PC, and I don't have 500$ to spend on a new video card :S Correct me if I'm wrong.. But xbox360 will have 2 usb ports for keyboard/mouse right?
