I have seen them at Best Buy. They are not in quantity anywhere that I know of. But they can be found. You do have to hunt. The latest rumor is that they cost MS $715 a unit, and that is why production has been so low. I would not doubt that figure though. 299304@blogcritics.org Tue, 3 Jan 2006 01:14:13 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/22/075748.php#comment-299265 That's why he is satan. Is April '06 the actual next available date or will they be trickling out? 299265@blogcritics.org Mon, 2 Jan 2006 23:36:30 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/22/075748.php#comment-299261 Yes, because blaming the kid behind the counter who has no control over the situation is the right course of action. 299261@blogcritics.org Mon, 2 Jan 2006 23:25:15 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/22/075748.php#comment-298455 I had my 360 ordered 3 months in advance only to be told on launch day that i would have to wait until April 2006 to get my preorder!!! I told the little pisshead behind the counter that I would kill him if he didn't give me my money back and finally after security came and several racist comments were shouted back and forth they refunded me and I walked away. Fuck the 360 Fuck microsoft. I used my 800.00 refund to buy two nice real shotguns and a cardboard stand-up of bill gates. 298455@blogcritics.org Sun, 1 Jan 2006 12:23:13 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/22/075748.php#comment-287154 Supposbly the new cell technology shall be superior to the graphics of the 360.It will be able to produce real time graphics that will be amazing.Although I will still miss Halo so Im still undecided but still angry at MS! 287154@blogcritics.org Sun, 11 Dec 2005 20:13:54 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/22/075748.php#comment-285115 wats so good about the ps3 285115@blogcritics.org Wed, 7 Dec 2005 19:42:08 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/22/075748.php#comment-285026 Think ill wait for the ps3 instead now 285026@blogcritics.org Wed, 7 Dec 2005 17:01:57 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/22/075748.php#comment-282895 I must say that Im really disappointed about the shortage deal.I myself have also been waiting for a couple years now for the release and for what, nothing!Sold out!Well maybe MS should have postponed the release until they had enough for everyone.What really urkes me is the whole selling them online thing.I want so badly just to have one and buttheads bought them just to sell to try to make a quick buck,get a job losers.I might just end up waiting for the ps3 if I have to wait! 282895@blogcritics.org Sat, 3 Dec 2005 18:51:55 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/22/075748.php#comment-279626 My brother almost got jumped getting TWO 360's on the 22nd... One for him and one for me.. :-) Did I mention that he's my favorite brother? :-) 279626@blogcritics.org Mon, 28 Nov 2005 20:17:46 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/22/075748.php#comment-279474 Microsoft claims they are shipping more units out weekly but we will see how it acutally plays out. i have a feeling if they dont get more units out fast they are going to have a lot of people pissed off at them. I know im pissed. went to a walmart and they only had core systems for release. I dont want to sit in line to have to spend an extra $200 to upgrade. Microsoft is really screwin up on this launch. Sure media looks good now but if no one is getting them in 2 weeks its gonna be all negative feedback. 279474@blogcritics.org Mon, 28 Nov 2005 14:28:23 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/22/075748.php#comment-278918 I hope they ship more 360's. I've been looking forward to the new xbox for at least 2 years. I had the chance to pre-order one last summer. Gamestop said I would be the first on list. My mom told me not to and now I feel bad that i didn't. 278918@blogcritics.org Sun, 27 Nov 2005 21:42:18 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/22/075748.php#comment-278363 I pretty much agree. The world-wide launch was a gamble, but a risk MS was willing to take. IF, and I repeat, IF, they can get a decent number of units in the stores before christmas, I think these first few days will be quickly forgotten. If not, then Microsoft's gamble might not pay off. 278363@blogcritics.org Sat, 26 Nov 2005 08:45:17 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/22/075748.php#comment-277748 Oh man microsofts gay... i just wanna sit in my room for a year and play my xbox 360, but nO!!! 277748@blogcritics.org Thu, 24 Nov 2005 21:13:17 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/22/075748.php#comment-277688 i was expectin a 360 day it came out but was knocked to the second shippin list cause of the shortage 277688@blogcritics.org Thu, 24 Nov 2005 18:44:08 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/22/075748.php#comment-277452 That is because I got mine early. But don't tell anyone. 277452@blogcritics.org Wed, 23 Nov 2005 23:39:03 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/22/075748.php#comment-276714 Screens and electronics are taking over the world, and it's scary. Take me for example. Here I am at 3:30 in the afternoon sitting at my computer posting a comment onto some internet site that has a fully detailed description on a game console that has just come out several hours ago. 276714@blogcritics.org Tue, 22 Nov 2005 18:26:25 EST
