Couldn't Zeppo have one by now if he was also willing to pay a $200 premium for a core?
And yes, the 360 got here in one piece. Works great!

Good to hear, Enjoy!

Make sure to post some NBA 2K6 impressions, DB.

I hope everyone is too busy to post impressions because there are no 360 game impression threads on page one!

"They are still going down in price as we speak...so in a few days it'll probably be even cheaper."

How much are the Premiums going for now? I'd imagine that supply is going to be tight all the way 'til Christmas, so maybe you'd do better selling closer to the 25th.

Well At, now you're in the same boat as me. Besides, shouldn't you be working on College applications and stuff?

BTW did you get that Samsung we were talking about? If so, do you have a DVD player for it? I bet DVD movies will look outstanding on that thing while you wait for the 360 to show up. Good luck!

Oh, and db:

Just kidding! I'm psyched you got yours, and amazed you could find an HD, too. Hope to join you soon!

LOL Zeppo...I hear ya man...I'm hoping you come across one soon.

As for NBA 2k6...holy crap. It may not look quite as good as Live, but it plays SOOOO much better. They have improved the Xbox version in many ways...it really is one of my favorite sports games EVER to grace a console. I can see myself playing it for a very long time.

I also don't see why many were giving PGR crap when it came to the visuals...when I was driving around Las Vegas at night in my C6, I was in heaven. They modeled the entire strip in the game...and it's amazing. Oh well...

i checked out college hoops in the store...

Agreed...I'll probably still play college hoops on the Xbox...it's THAT good.

Yup, i've got a seasonal job at Target now Zep so if we get another shipment in soon and I snag one for myself I can probably hold one for you if you'd like. College apps will be taken care of this week.

I haven't gotten a new TV yet. I really wanted the 51' Phillips Rear-Projection at Circuit City on Friday for 799$ but my mom wasn't willing to dole out any Christmas money yet so im still in the market.

I do however already have a 6.1 Channel 1000Watt Surround/DVD system I got last Christmas for 150$ at Best Buy.

I've already got my 360, but I'll be sure to check the local Target(s), WalMart(s) and CompUSA on Tuesday based on these rumors. I suggest others do the same in an effort to help out other DSP members. If I should stumble upon the 360, I'll buy at least 2 for members of this forum.

Xbox 360 Availability

Visiting family here on the east coast, I took the opportunity over the past couple of days to stop in at various retailers in Southern New England to check out what people were saying about the Xbox 360. One thing I noticed was there is a large amount of incorrect information floating around regarding shipments of units. (One store (incorrectly) told me that ‘Microsoft won’t’ send us anymore until March.’) I double checked with the retail team, and while I can’t speak to each retail outlets specific distribution strategy, I can tell you that we (Xbox) have a weekly replenishment strategy. That means that we have new shipments of Xbox 360’s being sent out each week. If you hear that a store won’t get Xbox 360 from Microsoft until next year, you may want to gently remind your source that we in fact ARE shipping consoles out each week. The moral of the story is be patient and (once again) don’t believe all the rumors you hear.

You all will get one, have patience, and go away Sony fanboys, we don't want ya here!!!

Every Gamestop I have visited has told me I'll have to wait 'till march to get a 360.

I just laugh at them and leave.

I'm still yet to find one, probably just wait till I return from Hawaii before I get one. I am going to be there from the 1st through the 5th.

I need the cash for the trip more than the 360 (as much as I want one). I'll wait till the week after I get back I guess.

I'm tempted to go by the Target down the street from me on Tue morn heh.

Diablo25 · Post by **Diablo25** » Sun Nov 27, 2005 2:38 pm

Glad to see some of you guys (DB and Leebo) got your 360. I have a 2nd one coming on the next shipment that I'm gonna EBAY or just sell to someone. Gotta get a feel for the 360 price on EBAY before I make my decision. I'm hoping to make some profit.

JRod · Post by **JRod** » Sun Nov 27, 2005 2:42 pm

I think it's true that EB/Gamestop won't have any before March. Becuase they have too many pre-orders. That's assuming all the pre-orders don't bail on them.

JRod · Post by **JRod** » Sun Nov 27, 2005 2:48 pm

Sport - Much appreciated if you can score some for us DSP guys.

ATX - You have any insider info on when is the best time to show up to Target. Would they get their shipment Monday night and have them to sell Tuesday morning. Or do shipments come in Tuesday and then they put it out the shelves sometime in the day?

Great question JRod, I want to know the answer to that one as well please.

I may blow the $435ish bucks to get me the 360 on Tue, then take it with me to Hawaii LOL.

Still looking for a system in NYC... hopefully Tuesday will be my salvation.

Geez you guys only selling a couple 360's on Ebay are not thinking big enough.

CLICK ON THIS Ebay auction

SORRY NO LOCAL PICKUP I DON'T WANT TO GET HELD UP AT GUNPOINT.

60 Xbox 360's at just over $300.00 profit on each (taking away $50 for time, tax, etc) as he is selling them at $749.99.

Profit made rougly $18,000 to $20,000.

Guys,

Haven't been on here in awhile, but I did get mine, along with Madden 06 and PGR3.

Had to wait 4 hours outside of Costco, but considering a knew after 1 hour that I was set to receive one of the 24 they got, I was happy to wait the rest of the time. Not sure if I would have otherwise.

Btw, Madden '06 has LOTS of problems

Definitely not worth the inflated asking price.

PGR3 rocks, as long as realism isn't an issue.

Backwards compatibility needs work. Forza chops up so bad in sound and frame rate I didn't find it playable, and Halo 2 froze up half an hour into my single player campaign.

I'd vowed to wait till next seasons sports games or a price drop for a new purchase but after reading you guys impressions I've broken down. I'm now prowling the Targets, Walmarts, and Circuit Citys in NC for a 360. Having no luck.

Mix, where were you in Central IL? I'm in Springfield.
