I ordered one from circuitcity.com on the 21st, should get here on the 24th. Talk about last minute, I was expecting not to find one until at least January. CC really did a good job, I didn't have to buy anything extra except for a wireless controller, and they shipped it out less than 3 hours after I ordered it. Had they not done that, it wouldn't get here before Christmas, and I used the free standard shipping.
Maybe you should change your title to something like, 'How did you get your 360?' Or something like that.
