okay, it's about 12:45am, and I just got back from Foothill Ranch Walmart... I swear, there had to been at least 300-350 people... and I pisses me off... they only had 16 to sell!!! I couldn't believe it when they annouced that... anyway, needless to say, I didn't get one... They did the raffle thing... and I wasn't lucky enough... but I find this kinda suspicious.... the guy next to me in line, said he was an employee (of Walmart), and he got issued a ticket like everybody else... and he got picked... hmmmmmmmmm

...anyway, I'm gonna try Costco in the morning... they're going the raffle thing too, so to point in getting there early and losing sleep...

i hit up a target which handed out their 12 tickets at 6 am, the bestbuy down the block had a good ~200 people in line so i skipped that, and costco looked promising but they don't open until 10am and i don't care that much to miss work...


and i drove by two circuit citys in tysons that both had plenty of people in line that i wasn't going to get one even if they had the advertised 20/store

Yes toys r us is getting a pretty low amount of xboxes. They gave out like 10 tickets. I went to k mart they dont have x box 360 out yet but i got a raincheck. I plan on going to check out sears soon.

Played it last night! We played Madden 06, Call of Duty 2 and Perfect Dark Zero. It got too late and I had to work so we called it a night before we played more titles. The system in general is pretty cool...very user friendly and a lot of the new features are really cool. Especially, the fact that you can turn the system on and off from the controller. On another note, I was not blown away graphically but the quality of HD gaming is very noticeable. I look forward to more titles being released that take full advantage of the 360's potential. Madden 06 looked great, but the game play is kind of bunk IMO. I am a die hard Madden player, so I was a little disappointed that the camera angle and some of the usual features were messed with. I enjoyed COD2 much more the PDZ but both games are very nice looking but I still was not amazed. The two new top buttons come very handy but will take some time to get used to. The controllers are pretty awesome and are very responsive. I am not great at reviews, so if you have any questions...please shoot!

it came with "Kameo, the Elements of Power" ( ) It's so NOT my kind of game, but I wasn't going to turn it down... They also had about 15 other games for sale... I went ahead and got Project Gotham Racing 3 which... IS my kind of game


the bundle (which came with the 20g hard drive, extra wireless controller, "Kameo" game, remote, wireless head phone, and some cables... and a device call "Play and Charge" kit-I don't know what that is...) for $479.99+tax (NOT including PGR3).

the best part of getting it from Costco? NO HASSLE RETURN POLICY!!!

don't regret it... cause to be honest? I'm sure by around 9am when they passed out the raffle tickets (I'm assuming they all did the raffle thing), there were a lot more than 15 people... cause when I got there at 8:50am, there about 25-30, then by 9:30am it was more like 120-150!!!

you might want to find out with KMART but i worked in retail and RAINCHECKS were for items that were on sale and we didnt have any more and it was advertised that week. So next week when you come in you will still get the SALE price.

In this case there is no SALE price, and its not even a case of an item running out.
Maybe they do other system, but just ask, incase you know..

Meh... the only reason to get it today is to sell it on eBay for a profit. You're crazy to keep it if anyone of you is lucky enough to get your hands on one today. Sell it and wait around a few more weeks.

I am flabbergasted by someone wanting this so badly that they are willing to pay $2500. And especially since the reviews are that the system is great, but the games are nothing great yet. yet.

The system looks really sleek. Definitely smaller than my Xbox and only a little bigger than a PS2. Definitely very stylish. The controller is pure heaven.

The menu's are REALLY slick and I just transferred my xbox live account to my 360. Being able to download game demo's and movies for free is pretty slick.

Loving it so far!

The power supply is insane though. I've never seen anything like it. Freaking HUGE!

Lady robbed at Gunpoint in front of home for Xbox 360

I'll post the link when it becomes available, this was on the news tonight.

A middle aged woman spent over $500 for an XBOX 360 and accesories last night. When she got home, someone walked up to her pointed a gun at her head and demanded the XBOX. She had no choice but to give it up. She says that the guy must have seen her at the store and followed her home. It was the only thing her son asked for Christmas.
