Congrats Leebo.

What was the situation? Did they have plenty of them?

Thanks, AtXj. Sorry for being a dick to you earlier. I was just fed up of driving around snooping around stores. I visited Wal-Mart more in the past few weeks than in my life combined...LOL.

They got 90. I picked up one of the last 5 or 6. There was a guy standing beside them "guarding" them. I asked him if I could buy more than one, but he said "that's why I am standing here." He told me that they had them all day, but I don't think many people started wondering about until this evening due to bad weather.

If we wouldn't have got the snowstorm today there's no way I would have got one as I usually don't leave work until 5:30-6:30 PM. I worked from home today and when I saw a post at the Xbox forums that someone bought one in PA at Costco, I thought WTF...it's worth a shot.

Congratulations leebo, that's a hell of a deal. Look forward to seeing you on Live!

Yeah HipE, I'm looking forward to it. Some of my best times on XBL have been playing golf, GR, or basketball with you. I own PGR3 and I have a rental copy of NBA 2K6 here. I'll probably pickup Madden this evening.

Which Cost Co I have been hearing reports of this all day, I called every one within 30 miles of me and no one had them

BTW congrats Leebo, I get more depressed the more I read these threads.

Atta baby Leebo...see you online.

According to the Xbox forums, only Cost Co in the Ne are getting them, anyone else want to try and score one?

I'm just confused, most people are reporting 90 - 100 per store at Cost Co, but the Best Buy allocation List numbers are small, I don't get it.

There's a Costco near me (Cali) that just got them in this morning and sold out in an hour.

As for Costco stores getting more than Bestbuy stores the explanation is simple...there are waaay less costcos than bestbuys, so bestbuys allocation is more spread out.

Congratulations, Leebo! It feels great to step off the 360 acquisition hamster wheel, doesn't it?

It sure does. I've never been this irascible before

Leebo sucks.

American Express was offering the premium for $150 dollars. Bascially it was like playing jeopardy with the buzzer. I don't think I got one but it still says connecting to the server without a denial reponse.

Anyway, I ordered through barnes and noble. Only reason I went through them is I get 10% of with my discount card. I don't want to look anymore. I'm going to have to sell all the games though as I don't want any of them they included Call of Duty (renting not buying), PGR, Tony Hawk and I think Kameo.

I'll look for a premium over the weekend for you people.

A lot of Costco's got them today.

Mine didn't, however.

We have a Costco here in Austin but it's far north and by the time I saw this im sure they were all gone.

Congrats. PGR 3 broke the news to me. I saw my ticker in PGR 3 update last night as I was racing saying "Leebo33 gets first win badge" among other things. Xbox Live on the 360 is some pretty cool stuff.

Danimal · Post by **Danimal** » Sat Dec 10, 2005 12:57 pm

CostCo Schaumburg, IL has 70 as of 10 minutes ago. I can;t get over there in time, no way it will happen. Good luck to anyone in that area

Hmm...my wife's making me go on a Costco run today to stock up for the family's Christmas visit.

If they have them, I'll grab one.

Dave, if it's possible could you grab me one as well?

If not, no big deal.

LOL. I'm surprised I could even win a badge since I was just driving around looking at the scenery. My wife was impressed with Las Vegas.

Yeah, nice savings. I thought my Sam's bundle was a good deal at $20 off ($449.99 for the same package there, w/o PGR3) so you're basically getting PGR for $10, or the Sam's Bundle + PGR3 for $30 instead of $50. Either way, great deal.

I took my Play & Charge kit to Walmart for a $20 store credit (plus tax).

I tried a few places this morning, no dice.

No luck, didn't look like they had any today...hell, with as much as we spent, we might as well have bought a 360!

Well, thanks for trying.
