Welcome to our xbox 360 section.
The Official launch date for your Xbox360 in Europe is 2 December 2005!You may order it now and they will dispatch it to you when they receive it from their supplier. Please note that release dates are subject to change.
The word is that the Xbox 360 will be in short supply on the day of release, and, unfortunately, this means it can't be guaranteed that pre-orders will be delivered by day of release. They are working with suppliers to ensure that all orders will be fulfilled as soon as possible, and will ship the consoles as soon as they receive them.
It's still early days yet but it's better to pre-order your xbox 360 now and have to wait a day or two than hang around the shops waiting maybe up to a month for your new shiny xbox 360.
