I wouldn't hold your breath, the lady specifically said it was an error on the site.

No clue, but she asked like she'd gotten the question a lot. When it does let you order it it doesn't actually say it's available. It just allows you to order.

Meh... clerks make errors too.



I finally called the Gamestop, where we put down $50 back in September. They said they closed the preorder list right after we got on it, so we are pretty much the last ones to be on it.

They supposedly have only gotten one shipment since release, and it was coincidentally yesterday.

And they got 2 units.

And one person called and cancelled their pre-order, moving us a total of 3 positions since release day.

Now we are only 28th on the list....

Amazon still has crappy $1000 core bundles in stock. They have been there since 8am. Is this the longest a bundle has ever been in stock at amazon?



On another note I went to a Media Play that was going out of business and picked up Project Gotham 3 for $45 and the wireless adapter for $80. They were wiped out of 360 stuff.

If someone's going to pay $1000 for a system chances are they want the premium. I'm not suprised those those are flying off the site.

Well, in all fairness, are they actually available from Amazon itself, or through 3rd party sellers in Amazon's Marketplace?

You might want to change the referring info to "dvdtalk".


Though that popup when you point to the link is quite impressive. I've never seen that before.

I don't know what I did, I thought I just copied and pasted it?


Looks like it's gone already anyway.

EDIT: Or maybe not just yet...

CC.com had them up for about two minutes again just now. Don't try it's sold out already but it's interesting that they sold them at least twice that I know of yesterday and again today.

What the heck, I'm monitoring this page but it didn't change for me:

http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/gener...yword=xbox+360

Didn't someone say CC shipped everything besides the console?

That was me. I just checked again and see that even the console has shipped! It was shipped separately, but shipped none the less! I should have it on the 20th at 7PM!

No, no matter how hard my brother tries to convert me I continue to use IE. I had it set to monitor specific things on the page, but now I have it monitoring the entire page for changes.

Debating whether or not to get the Amazon core bundle. Is it worth it to sell/trade in some games and get the hdd?

Target has the platinum ultra bundle in stock. For $2200, I'm not surprised.

No, sorry. Plenty of the ultra brunettes with the optional dye kit available, though.
