I beleive it is Nov 15 a tuesday (Games n such sometimes come out on tuesday) Also, Nov 15 2001: XBOX comes out, Nov 15 2002: XBOX Live comes out, NOV 15 2005: Perhaps the release of the XBOX 360? Exactly 4 yrs after the launch of the original? Im sure they would market that. "4 years of gaming, and we do it again!" or some other phrase. Thats my 2 cents.
