    Australian Xbox launch.

    We are sooooooooo delayed, we only got Xbox 360 2 weeks ago. I am kinda tempted to go to this event that MS are holding, and ebay the gift bag :D

    http://www.xbox.com/en-AU/waterballoon/default.htm


    Something's kinda weird though, how can they afford to give out launch titles for free?

    cause microsoft is rich and AU is a pretty small gaming base. I guess giving out free games would make AUs feel special or something and encourage them to buy more games?
