Where to Pre-Order XBox 360 ?

I've been searching for 2 months now.. Everyone says they are sold out of their first lot.. And are awaiting XBox to release more.. Only thing I have seen available are those $800 or whatever 360s from EBGames.. Anyone have any good info where I can find one?

Amazon is supposed to have the core systems available for preorder ($300 for the base, $400 for the loaded system). No crappy games or any of that...

They are on the website but the 'preorder' button isn't there yet, not sure whats up.

Just FYI I've been calling my local EBGames every week for the past months and they are taking pre-orders again.. So if you missed the first lot they are opening it up again..

I did not pre-order the X-box360 yet because I really did not see any decent ONLINE games to play with others yet.

yeah, I am going to own Socom 3 for sure... we had endless hours of fun playing..

Like I said, I am skeptical of the 360X-box for the simple fact that X-box does not really have any decent online games.... Now if X-box made a Socom 3.. ..

Perfect Dark Zero for the XBOX 360. Same developer as GoldenEye 007 on Nintendo 64 - the most fun multiplayer game ever made.

Every Xbox 360 game is required to have some form of online component. Ghost Recon 3 for the 360 looks to be another online killer app next to Perfect Dark 0.

I went to Ebgames today... Although I did not make the very first pre-order list, I am the 3rd person on the 2nd list.. they will be getting 50 units in stock in November. If they call someone on the 1st list and they do not show up within 48 hours, they call 2 people before they call me.

no biggie

the Game nerd claimed that some games (ex: Halo) will still be able to be played on X-box360!

About 100 people from this forum who play it together regularly. In other words, just about everyone but you.

But why would you play an outdated game on a brand new system? Do people actually play PSOne games on PS2

That, I can agree with. I see no sense in spending up to $700 on a console to play old games. heh.

nice find but why do they advertise it for 419.00? And then say no tax? When US is 7% so it would be 428.00 But they are sneaking in some charges there. unless i am missing something. But other than that. good deal. And lets see how fast you get it through them. I still dont know where to go.

Because there's no sales tax for online purchases..? I went all the way to checkout and it stayed at $419 ?

Where are you getting 7% from? There is no Federal sales tax.
