The core system sold out before the premium system. How funny.

Keep checking Sam's club and Costco. Those seem like the best places to try.

That Amazon bundle cracks me up. To think I was close to pulling the trigger on that a week or so ago.

I have a 25% off coupon, but only good for up to $150 off, $150 off too much by $500 is still too much by $350

Well... THIS I wasn't expecting... You bastiches said it wouldn't ship.


THANKS FOR SHOPPING AT WWW.KMART.COM!

Good news! Your order has been shipped and you can look forward to receiving it soon. We hope you enjoy it.

---------------------------------------------------------------
NAME: JOSEPH
SHIPPING ADDRESS: 9999 xxxxxx xxxxx
ROUND ROCK, TX 78664
ORDER # : 999999999
ORDER DATE: 12/21/2005 (that date is a little ****ed up)
---------------------------------------------------------------
ITEMS:

Description: XBox 360 Platinum System
Qty: 1
Price: $399.99
Status: SHIPPED


MERCHANDISE TOTAL: $399.99
+TAX: $33.00
+SHIPPING: $7.67
GRAND TOTAL: ***$440.66***
The email had a "check status of shipping" link, but it isn't showing up in that system, though to be fair the email was from 11pm last night, so perhaps it hasn't been "picked up".

Who knows when it will arrive?

Who wants it?

I don't even have a local Kmart to return it to (though I'll be going to San Antonio, I would dread what the lines look like next week)...

Though it looks like it is coming ultimately via USPS, since the shipper states "Saturday Delivery Available at no extra charge". A drive to my place could be better than sleeping on a sidewalk at the best buy for someone.

Try and sell it around local. That seems to be the best way to unload them nowadays.

No, just put an ad in your paper or something.

Well, the bitch is that I don't know when it's really going to arrive. I can't even guarantee I will have it before Christmas, depending on where it ships from.

It's a worst case scenario, for someone who didn't want one right now...

Can't give it to my kid, cause his grades suck too bad.

Of course, we COULD just leave it in the box in the living room and then when he says he has "nothing to study" point at it as a carrot.

Anyone been to Best Buy today? I know the original word was that they were handing out tix the day before they put their stock on sale, but the document linked to earlier today indicates they'll be handing them out on the day of the sale. My boss is trying to get one for his son for xmas, so when I told him they were getting some, he was more than glad to agree to let me come in late tomorrow and Friday if necessary. Just trying to figure out if I should try to fit in a trip to my local Best Buy today as well, as I'm pretty tight on time this afternoon and evening.

My Best Buy didn't look too crowded, so maybe they didn't have any in.

I'll probably play COD2, Condemned and then Madden. I have heard Madden wasn't that good though. Should be awesome to play on a large screen in HD though.

The order I placed yesterday with computers4sure.com arrived at my bosses doorstep this morning. She called me very excited, she couldn't believe it came so fast. I am bosses pet! I am bosses pet!
