According to the link, Best Buy by my work has premiums, while 4 of the 6 stores listed has the core. I've waited this long and I'm not hyped anymore. I'll wait for a price drop or ps3. More likely just buy both of em at the same time. By that time, 360 should have more must have games.

Edit: So I get there, and the last two premiums are being bought. Then, the first guy's credit card is declined and he walks off. So god bless, I have a 360 now.

Sounds like my story when I found out Sam's didn't take Visa, AMEX, or Mastercard. I was thisclose from giving up my 360 to someone behind me until I applied and got approved for their credit card. Although I did end up selling it, I at least made a profit and was able to pay off the credit I used.

Premium system
12-months of Gold XBox Live
Madden
Plug & Play
Wireless Modem
Plus I finally signed up for the BB Reward Zone.
One question for those who've purchased... did anyone get the 2-year BB protection plan? I'm usually very much against them, but I almost bit. 90 days from Microsoft is not enough on a new product, in my opinion.

I've debated getting the 60$ two year plan from microsoft. Unfortunately i accidentally trashed the form that came with my system so if i decide to go with the warranty i need to somehow contact microsoft.

The Best Buy's online thing should be accurate.
My best buy had them in yesterday, but the problem is, is that employees may be hiding the systems because they are allowed to purchase them now.

I'm able to find the hard drive online, but no stores anywhere around here have them in stock. Is the hard drive that difficult to find? I want to get it at Best Buy since I'll have plenty of reward certificates to use.
I did buy the HD component cable today. I have one game..NBA 2K6. I had to play it with composite the last couple days and after I hooked up the HD cables...WOW. The game looks great. Not to mention it's very fun to play.
Now I just need the HDD and a wireless controller.

They did in fact have 3 Core's at my Best Buy. I asked just for the heck of it. They said they had them in the back, and would only reveal they had them if someone asked.

Saw a Core on the shelf at Walmart here in Tally. I bought an HDD from Best Buy a few days before Xmas.

Saw premiums available once the Thursday after Xmas at Best Buy, Melbourne.
Thursdays seem to be a good day for the system and Best Buy

Sorry, but have to brag. Ordered a premium bundle from Dell Friday and already received it today. Awesome!
If anyone doesn't mind a small bundle, the Bens Bargains tracker has a discount code for a core bundle from Dell available now. (Wanted to say something constructive for those looking).
