So tempting...yet I must wait...nothing there I *really* want to play yet. No baseball game, below average football game, below average soccer game...and a bunch of great First person shooters (don't care for them)...finally backwards compatibility for Barbie, but not for Panzer Dragoon Orta...must wait indeed.

I saw an article on yahoo that M$ was sending out a big shipment of 360's this week. I wouldn't be too bent if BB goes out of stock. Just check your local stores...you should be able to find one.

Surely they will be offering the system with a game for $399 in another 6 months.

Can a 10% off coupon used on the 360's?

03-23-2006, 01:40 PM
I don't think there is a coupon that is good on videogame hardware at Best Buy.

I am so tempted, but it's not like I have $500 (Oblivion and system) lying around...
Hurry up and go out of stock before I change my mind!!!
EDIT: seems it would come out a cost of $439.88. $500 would be about right.

Amazingly it appears to still be in stock!
I actually scored a premium at my local ebgames on Monday; someone declined their pre-order and I happened to be in the store when it cam available.
I'll be picking up Oblivion tonight to begin that madness!!!

Kudos to everyone that did not succumb to the Biff Tannen-ish arm-twisting of the eBay hoarders! Of course, this isn't exactly the site for weak-willed, money-burning gamers, but 'props' nonetheless! It's a great system, the controller is perfect, and Live Arcade and Achievements are some of the best things added to console gaming in years.
(Clenches fist, spins around and clocks eBiffs square in face, catching them offguard.)

To everyone else, better hurry! Buy them up before those F.A.G.'ers at Fat Wallet hoard them all!

What to do, what to do.
I got nearly $800 stocked up, and everything I needed before even thinking about a 360, I now have. Oblivion and Fight Night Round 3 are just yelling 'BUY ME!!!' too. I want to try to wait to find one locally to lose the shipping costs, but I don't know if I can resist.
Order placed, thanks to my lovely gf ^^ Finally, the hunt comes to an end.
I had been waiting for 360s to come in stock somewhere new to see if the tracker I was using would actually pick it up...

F.A.G.'ers
My my, aren't you classy? :roll:
This is not something to hoard. There is no longer any profit to be made off of buying a 360, and the announcement earlier this week that production increased significantly will make situations such as this a more common occurrance over time. We all knew that would happen eventually, and ready availability combined with low/no profit margins makes this a no-brainer to not hoard.
Now, I hope this means that FreePay will finally get their hands on a 360, since I fulfilled all their pyramid scheme requirements on 11/22 and still haven't received a console from them (then again, no one has).

umm, that hasn't hapened before with any system just a year after its release. The only system to bundle was Xbox during the holiday season.

In related news, there was a stack of core and premiums (4 and 8 respectively) at my Best Buy this morning. There was also a nice amount at Fred Meyer's. I would assume that other retailers are the same. It looks like the demand and the supply have finally begun to level off. Now is a good time to pick one up for those that haven't been looking very hard... erm, I mean "unable to find one" since November.

RAWFUL at those who shelled out $800 for core packs on ebay

Just so you all know, the 360's a great system. Even if there aren't a lot of games you want now, you'll get a lot of value in the meanwhile from Live Arcade. Certainly enough to justify getting it now rather than waiting for a price drop that'll be no sooner than a year away.

Possibly worth another thread, but there was about a dozen each of the core and premium systems at the CompUSA in Burbank (the one near Ikea). No bundles needed.

If it was in stock online for that long today you can be sure it's gonna be in all the stores soon.

Still says it's in stock at TRU/Amazon. Only $4.49 for shipping!
I almost wish I hadn't gotten in on the Best Buy deal. Would have saved $11 or $12 in shipping. But I'm just happy to get one, so I'm not complaining.
Edit: Updated OP with link to the Core System, which is also in stock at Amazon/TRU.

Hopefully satisfying the regular X360 buyers will free up demand for people who want a free extended warranty and a good bundle like the Costco one. :D

Didn't the gamecube start offering a free $49.99 game choice with purchase of the system. I think the Dreamcast was dirt cheap by Christmas time 2000.

Last I checked the Costco around here doesn't have em'. Maybe they just have a really shitty record of getting them as compared to everyone else Costcowise.

Wow, you got it in time for the weekend and everything. That's great. I doubt I'll be so lucky.
Looks like it's OOS everywhere at the moment. I'll update the thread title to reflect that. If anyone sees any non-bundled systems in stock, please post that info here. I'll try to check in regularly and update the OP.

I placed my order yesterday right after the OP. Oddly, I did not order overnight shipping - I ordered ground. Maybe it was so fast because I live close to the shipping point in Ohio.

Given that production has supposedly ramped up, 360 systems should be flooding stores in the next few weeks. As a result, I'm probably going to wait until some local store offers a free game or controller with it before I bite (since I missed out on the free remote with launch). If this doesn't happen in the next few months, I can always wait for a price drop next year. I've got more time than money at present. :cry:
D. Monic
03-24-2006, 12:35 PM
Hey looky! Mine just arrived too. I guess I won't complain about the $15 shipping since it arrived overnight. Hard to beat that, especially since this box weighs a ton.
I just used regular ground shipping, but since it shipped from Findlay OH, it only took one day (I live in MI).
Now the work day can't end soon enough. Can't wait to stop by my local Family Video tonight to see if Condemed, Oblivion, GRAW, Full Auto, or Fight Night are available.
I hope the rest of you get a nice surprise from the UPS guy today as well.
