Few days ago I went to EB games and kinda pre ordered.. I got on the waiting list. That is about as good as your going to get. I am 61st person in line. They said I would prolly get one middle of december late december. He said a lot of people pre order, but only alittle less then half ever come to get the system. He said if i get lucky I could get mine beginning of december, but he really doesnt see that happeneing. It is about the best thing you can do. IF money aint a thang.. get one on ebay.
If you do pre order or get on the waiting list.
Get the extra controller and some games too. He said those will be going really fast. Would suck if you got your machine, but didnt reserve any games.
Good luck
Edit: Also I didnt get killed with a bundle.. It was $400 for the system with hd and all that good stuff.. And I reserved an extra wireless controller and two games.
