Ordered a HDMI unit from Amazon, having it delivered to my brother for his birthday, bastard better say thank you! 
If by some chance it has the 65nm chip, I'm giving him my old one and taking the new one.

Can't speak for all BB, but the one here in Macon was a non-HDMI system. The box had also been opened. It really looked like they just opened the box, put a copy of Top Spin in and then placed the sticker on it.
I was highly disappointed. It was the only one in the store. I am so close to just buying an Elite and be done with it. At least I will know it has the heatsink and quieter drive.

So...I haven't pre-ordered any of the Big Shit games coming out in the next couple months, but I should still be able to pretty much walk in and get them a few days after release right?

I liked the Stranglehold demo much more than I thought I would. I wasn't considering buying it, but now I probably will. It will probably wait until after Halo 3 and COD4, though.

I grabbed that Flatout UC (Ultimate Carnage) demo (off the Euro servers) the other day, I gotta say that is one hell of an engine.
The physics, unrealistic as they are, are amazing, and the amount going on onscreen with minimal-to-no slowdown is just incredible. It's a stunning (visually) game, and is pretty fun thus far. (The weird thing being, much like the bubbles in Farcry (Gorgeous game, let's have Sprite bubbles!), the only real graphical problem is on the engines when your hood gets ripped off.. hopfully they fixed that).

I submitted and shipped my red ring'd 360 from the service.xbox.com site and haven't gotten it back yet. I think it's status has been sitting on "recieved at service center" for at least a week, but I haven't really been paying attention. Oh well.
Hope i get a new system too!

It's stupid, but in Game Stop/EBs case, its intentional.

Well, I'm tired of trying to find one of the new premium systems with HDMI. I know it's still early but I'm ready to pull the trigger and pick up a 360.
I drove around to Costco (out of stock), Best Buy (out of stock) and Circuit City (had 2 systems left but were not HDMI).
Even though it's not as good a price compared to the premium after the price drop, I think I'm going to pick up an Elite so I know it at least has the better heat sync. The black will look nicer with my system as well.
Any last minute tips before ordering or package deals out there for Elites? I'll probably order tonight.
