That's not an Xbox 360 launch. This is a launch:The wait is officially over: Xbox 360 has launched in Australia amid crowds of shoppers and excited customers. Over 350 stores across Australia and New Zealand threw their doors open at midnight so that hordes of eager fans could get their hands on the world’s only next generation console.
The crowds were biggest at the official launch location in Sydney’s Pitt Street Mall where cheerleaders, street performers and radio station Nova entertained a massive crowd of fans as they gathered to count down the seconds to launch.
Australians may hate Foster's beer, but they love their 360s. Aussie gaming site My360.com.au has some pics from a local EB Games in Melbourne.
(For any Australians insulted by the pic of Crocodile Dundee, I'm still recovering from that brief period in the 80s when my country was obsessed with your native land to the point where kids were faking accents on sit-coms. Even the girls from Facts of Life went to Australia.)
