URGENT: Need help finding an XBox for my kids in the Houston area

[OutHouse]

I know stupid me, but how was i to know all the stores in the College Station area would be all freaken sold out of them. Houston is 90 miles away and i need to go there anyway, if you know of any stores that have XBoxes in stock please tell me what store.

 

[imported_Mike]

They are pretty hard to find throughout the country...good luck in your search. 🙂

 

[Actaeon]

Call up the bestbuys/Ebgames/Gamestops/walmarts in the area. I'm sure plenty of locations are found in the areas, and get each stores number online.

 

[spanky]

buy online and pay for overnight shipping (that's gonna hurt)

 

[Mo0o]

Can you get it online?

 

[imported_Mike]

Jebus, I can only imagine overnighting it will probably cost him $50 extra at least.

 

[Schadenfreude]

I don't know since I"m in Illinois, but I'd go with everyone else's advice and say go online. And for the sake of a peaceful holiday devoid of whining and incessant bitching, I wish that you secure yourself an Xbox. Godspeed man!

I dunno how tight stock is out there in TX, but if it is like it is out here in SoCal...I would buy now(online and choose instore pickup) and ask questions later. 😉

i had heard about the ps2 shortage recently which a lot of analysts were saying helped xbox sales.
