XBox 360 .AU launch date slips January 29, 2006
Posted by James Webster in : gadgets , trackbackWell, it appears that the launch date for the XBox 360 has slipped to March 23. I’ve been eyeing the 360, and its built-in integration with an XP Media Centre Edition PC, as a possible ‘out of the box’ solution for a living room media player. And hey, its a cracking good game console as well! All this slippage does is give other possible solutions the opportunity to appear (Apple Media Centre anyone?).
I wonder if the launch slippage is due to feverish re-engineering of the XBox and its thermonuclear power supply to run cooler in a sweltering Australian summer?

I think that it is more likely that the launch slippage is due to a desire for the “sweltering Australian summer” to ease into a not-so sweltering Aussie autumn.. Why re-engineer when a seasonal change can do the job for you?
(Of course, that just means the “sweltering American summer” is coming up… and I think that MS would be more concerned about the US market)
