Microsoft has yet to make it official. Probably in a week or so you can find one. Why not just buy a pro model?

official release date is tomorrow 10/23 everyone(best buy, eb,gs,cc) will have them but they are street dated. its a really good deal compared to the old core model.

I saw a couple at the Wal-Mart here in Christiansburg, VA.
Actually I saw them... yesterday I think. Maybe the day before. Awesome deal and if my 360 blows up and for some reason MS won't fix it, I'd get one in a heartbeat.
EDIT - I suppose I shouldn't bother posting this in the Regional Canadian section... Oh well, too late.

By the picture it doesn't look like it will accept a hard drive.

According to ebgames.com, a HDD is required for backwards compatibility. The fact that they mention it at all leads me to believe that it'll work with a hard drive.

Just get a Premium. There's plenty of good bundles here in Canada on that. For example, the deal on Dell which comes with free Halo 3 (along with Forza 2 and Marvel). Or the one in Future Shop where you get the GHII bundle with Forza 2 and Marvel.
The Core is still horrible. Hard drive is required to take full advantage of the 360.

I've got a HDD already from my defective laser Premium.
I guess this is my best option for a replacement console.

Where it shows the difference between the 3 systems on the box, it list the arcade as not backwords comp.

Because you need a HDD for BC.

I will clear up my reasoning.
I have HDD already (Check check check don't ask me why or how)
I WANT hdmi.
I like green boxes VERY MUCH!
It's got wireless controllers ( I already own 1 and battery packs & quick charge kits)
I like it's all white finish + comes with HDD closure trap.
MEMORY CARD it's a good thing to have.
DID I MENTION IT's A CRAZY GREEN BOX?

It's officially out today. Go check it out at places like Toys R Us, Best Buy etc. Too bad it doesn't come with a HDD, I really want HDMI.

I was at Toys R Us, some new Xbox 360 games were still $69.99 -_-
Got myself a set of 6 Tranformers action figures that transforms. They're the mini ones. Autobots, roll out.

Are those the ones for $4.99 in the flyer? How are they?

Try Kmart. Man I saw one at K-Mart last Saturday when I made out like a bandit on their clearance sale. K-Mart was selling this thing last week! I thought it was an old version. Man that thing is stripped the hell down! a 256MB card. No hard drive.
