So how's the availability of the Xbox 360 nowadays?

lik-sang.com seems to have them, but then you've got to contend with game-specific region coding. Some have it, some don't.

I heard someone mention that one of the Warehouse Clubs (Sam's or Costco) had a pile of them recently when they visited.

The rumor is that Bestbuy is getting a minimum of 20 per store this week on the 16th. The stores have instructed to hold them and not sell them. In the ad coming out this Sunday the 18th, they will advertise that you can buy them starting the 20th - a sort of a "second launch".

If that is really the case, and you really want one, I suggest you get there at least a day in advance. Camping out will be more popular this time because people see how much they're worth on eBay.

the only store that i know that gets them daily is Target. That said, the guy that works there said that there are these people who are always at the door waiting to buy them when they open.

If I wanted to look at XBox360 boxes, I could DL some pics.

If you live in a big city, you will be very hard-pressed to find one.

You have 2 choices... either pay twice the MSRP on ebay, or camp out for one. I've got preorders at 2 different places for over 2 months now, and still haven't received either. I've also lined up for 2 hrs before store openings when they were available, and couldn't get them... and last time, it was freaking snowing all night, and there were still people waiting all night.

Bought into the hype machine?

I bet there are more PSPs sold in the first day of its launch than the total amount of Xbox 360s sold in the world altogether.

You can get one from me for eleventy-billion dollars. ;)

Kidding. Shipments are coming in but they are sparse. Reportedly only a couple to a few units per store and they are quickly sold out. Best Buy is putting theirs out on the 18th reportedly. A Sam's Club manager told my wife the 15th for their store.

You'll have to do some hunting around in other words.

And what does that have to do with anything?
