There is one in walking distance from my apartment, so I will be annoying them all day

Stopped by Sears this afternoon. They said they got 2 systems in this morning and they sold both of them immediately when the store opened. They said they have no idea when more will be coming...just keep checking back in store.

It was $799 with premium system, 5 games, extra controller, silver faceplate, play/charge kit and so on.

You can always ebay or return the items that you dont want to Toysrus or walmart.

Im giving this one to my friend who has been wanting one (at cost of course).

I got the same one. I think it was the "mature" bundle. I'm only going to return 2 of the games and keep everything else since I was planning on getting all that stuff anyway.

So RockStrongo, will Toys R Us will take the games back without a problem since they are partnered with Amazon?

Yeah, I've been studying for exams at my computer and have been checking the forum quite frequently, but I got up to get myself something to eat, and in that 15 minutes I missed a good oppertunity...

I used this site to get in on the Amazon thing.
http://bensbargains.net/xbox360/xbox360.php

But it never said it was in stock when I clicked it. I think it said "timed out", or "error" or something weird like that. So if you see those things again give it a shot.

I've been looking at that too. I just can' sit at my computer all day long. Well, I guess I could, but don't want to.

I only have it up because I'm in the process of writing a term paper. Otherwise I never would have caught it.

I have the link to that one on my desktop. I also have this one too.

Hopefully something will pop up tonight. I really dont want to be at Best Buy when they open. If they don't have any systems I will be pissed.

More should pop up at Amazon. I think that they are staggering it because they had some available yesterday that I missed out on. Yet they came back with more today.

No it says they have to hold 20 for the 18th. So if they get more than 20 they can put them out.

The way I interpret that is the 16th is the next "Official" shipment coming from the warehouse. It makes sense to me that they would still get drop shipments till then and that if you're interested in the Core system you can probably get one on the 16th or 17th since it says they're getting them but it's not part of the ad. Hell I might see if I can get a core unit and hold it till the 18th so that if I can indeed get a premium or hopefully more than one premium for some friends I can sell the core unit to someone.
