Due to some medical stuff, I can no longer afford a 360.
Problem solved!

I love how MS has responded to their statement of weekly shipments and being in stores by the weekend. It is odd they have made no statement since, they need to put some spin out there so us consumers do not feel like we are just twisting in the wind.

So the only way you can get one now is a bundle? $400 was bad enough but $1,000? I'll be damned if I pay $1,000 for video games 
I might not have spent that much this whole year on games.

They're STILL accepting orders...30 minutes later, which means something is broken. I think we can be pretty sure now that they're NOT going to be shipping on the 12th.

I'll too fear something is amiss.

I was specifically addressing your previous statement where you claimed that these gameshops oversold their pre-order allotments.

I dunno if that's sarcasm or not, but thanks anyways
I wasn't trying to make enemies/piss people off...just trying to give my knowledge from the store side of things. We still have yet to get anything besides HD's since the launch....not even Kameo/Amped/COD2 restock. Doesn't even look good on getting systems next week. As for the whole marketshare thing....I was just passing on the info we got from the Microsoft peeps/corporate bigwigs at our yearly conference in Texas. By combining with EB, we have like 30% share, while BB and Walmart sit around 20-25% each. Since that's true (presumably), MS is granting us a majority of systems...which still sits at 0.Thats about it...good luck.

no luck at Target this morning...
BTW, CC has the core package listed as "in stock" on their web site, but it won't let you check out...

They were available online from CC for about 20 minutes this morning. I placed an order but got stuck on the processing screen so I'm actually on the phone with them now. Also I am on a no obligation preorder list now in slot #15 I think so maybe if the CC thing doesn't pan out that will come through for me.

circuitcity.com has core bundles in stock. You don't have to buy the bundle either. After adding it to your cart you can get rid of what you don't want. Too bad I am waiting for a premium though.
