I know this isn't a deal, but I'm sure others have had the same problem of finding a cube (w/o being in a bundle) that I have had. So I figured I pass this along.

Man, where I live I haven't been able to NOT find one!! I noticed an X-Box shortage for about 1 week after launch, but other than that, both systems have been more than abundant, especially the Cube. I'm actually starting to think about getting one just because I see so many of 'em.

I'm surprised at how hard it is to find a GC...

I just got mine a little under two weeks ago and I had to call all over town before finding an EB that had ONE in stock.

A friend of mine also wanted one shorty after I got mine and he couldn't even find one in town at all, let alone for order online (everywhere he tried would get him through the order process before letting him know that the system was out of stock and he was on a backorder list). He was lucky enough to stop in a Walmart around 5am on the 30th and they just happened to have gotten some stock in.

What's the deal with this system being so hard to find?!?

It's been hit or miss around here. One day the shelves are filled with Gamcubes and Xboxen and the next day they are empty. It depends on if you get to the store on the right day.

I haven't been able to find one in Los Angeles for weeks. Not at Best Buy, Circuit City, Fry's, KB or Wal-Mart.

I'm picky too, it's got to be black.
