But between the discussions here and the homemade videos on the 'net, it's only a matter of days before I crack down and buy it (and the 300+ page guide ;) )

Seriously, I owned Morrowind on the PC, played for about 10 hours total and wasn't too impressed with it. I'm sure I'll try it out one of these days.

Does the Best Buy tracker work anymore? I have been checking it for the past few weeks and nothing? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....&itemId=847033

Legolas 03-24-06 12:22 PM

Considering that a bunch of XBox 360 options were available yesterday at BestBuy.com (but everything's sold out today), it must be broken.

Draven 03-24-06 01:00 PM

Not necessarily - the Premiums were clearly marked as not being available in-store, which is what that tracker is tracking.

I don't know about that. About 3 weeks ago, I checked in the tracker and it stated that one of the stores had the system. When I called them, they said they only had the cores. On Wednesday, a couple of stores had the Core but on the tracker, it indicated no stores had 360's. So I'm assuming the tracker doesn't work anymore.

I was in my local Costco today and there were ton of bundles sitting around, nobody crowding or anything. At least 20 or 30 of them. It's almost like nobody was interested at all.

Barney1234 03-25-06 12:19 PM

YES, it still works, this link is all you need people.

And that's where I just bought mine. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Thanks for the Costco suggestion! Yeah, I had to pay $45 for a membership, but I made up half that cost already with the box of gummi bears I bought.

Hard to believe that after four months, these things are still kind of hard to find!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

WOOOO!

I was just in the Lansing, MI Target on Saginaw, and they had 6 premiums. 4 were out and the lady said there was 2 more in the back.

Michael T Hudson 03-25-06 08:01 PM

Costco Austin did not have any in stock today. Frys was also out.

nickdawgy 03-25-06 08:34 PM

It figures by the time they're readily available, I have no interest in one :lol:

Maybe if they drop to $300 for the Premium.... :D

K&AJones 03-26-06 10:19 AM

Lets see if this adds up.....

Shortage of systems + several new upcoming high priced games = lackluster sales. I guess they figure if you've got 4-$500 to spend then $60 is pocket change. You'll just be snapping up a game a week. My current paid for Xbox and countless available bargain games just might tie me over even longer.

By the way in todays paper Kmart had 360 "core" units listed but no premos. C.C hardly even mentions anything XBox, B.B had a few games and nothing with Target.

There isn't any shortage. They're all here http://video-games.listings.ebay.com...istingItemList

Check the postings on when bought. Also it's funny that last week they were advertising "3rd" generation and this week it's 4th. If MS really wants to help they need to step up and do more on getting the message out to consumers about stepping up production and more 360's are on the way. There just hasn't been much press about it or push on the retail end. If more people were aware then they would stop going to places like E-bay where most of the 360's end up instead of gamers hands.

jonw9 03-26-06 02:46 PM

Still one premium left in the Target display this afternoon. So a 360 has now officially been on the shelf for 24 hours :lol:

Raul3 03-26-06 03:23 PM

There were a lot of 360's yesterday in Costco, here in San Jose, CA. And they were selling them like pancakes, when I was in the store I saw a lot of people with 360 boxes in their carts.

Costco is just like Sam's Club isn't it? I went to Sam's today and they didn't have anything but games..

SpaceBoy 03-27-06 08:56 PM

Sorry to ask such a dumb question, but I see lots of bundles with the memory card and the hard drive. if you get the hard drive you don't need the memory card do you?

slop101 03-27-06 09:36 PM

only if you plan on playing using your save-game info on another 360 machine, like say going over to your friend's house to play on his 360, using the profile you already have on Halo 3, or whatever.

dvdsteve2000 03-28-06 05:21 AM

I picked one up last Thursday for my son's birthday in April. I was at Walmart on Tuesday and they didn't have any in the display case. We were there again on Thursday, still none in the case. As we were leaving, one of the 3 electronics department people said "Can I help you find anything?". I said Nah, I was just looking for a 360. He said "We got 12 in yesterday, and we have (He leaned behind the counter to look)...one left, but it's the good one, you know, for $400." I gave up asking if people had them until that day because the answer was always NO, man am I glad he asked if I needed any help. I guess they don't always put them in the display cases (In plain view).
