Is "ringing up" after 6pm the same as just putting the full amount down at the time I pre-ordered it? I actually pre-ordered from GameStop at about 3:30 today and put the full price down. Should that mean I can go to line #1?

Sounds good, thanks for the info.

I'm considering picking up a new Vizio 32" or 37" LCD TV. I have a 360 and almost exclusively play rhythm games (i.e. rock band), so the main thing I am concerned about is lag. Can anyone with one of these TVs have any opinions about playing this type of game on it? Any issues?

There probably will be some fees that he has to pay when he accepts the package, but there shouldn't be any extra fees on your end.

You can get a tracking number as soon as Amazon sends the billing info to UPS- it doesn't necessarily mean that they have touched the package yet.

Ah yes perhaps.

Are you kidding me? I have personally pounded on them and they are a solid piece of equipment (for the price).

Most stores will probably have it by tomorrow if they don't already.

Nice! ebgames.com has started to process my order but I'm guessing they still aren't shipping it until Monday.

They have to localize it and they are putting in region-specific tracks PLUS they have to be able to produce enough hardware to stock the bundles with, etc. etc. It's not as simple as you think.

How soon before shipping a pre-ordered game do they usually put the full charge on your credit card? I ask because I pre-ordered Rock Band, which in theory should be shipping Monday the 19th, but they charged my card today and my order status says "processing..."

What are you worried about? All previews (and my personal demo experience) have pointed to it being awesome.. OXM gave it a 9.5/10 in their Dec. issue by the way. I believe GH3 got an 8.0.

Yes, I am definitely talking about real copies.

Two people have independently reported on the Rockband.com forums that they got the 360 bundle at a Walmart in Airmont, NY. Since Walmart only got PS3 demos, these must be the real thing- plus one guy posted pictures of the bass pedal.

A Walmart in Airmont, NY has broken the street date and sold at least 2 xbox 360 bundles.
