they keep telling people there will be a shortage. I know a lot of the places are presold out...then they do those lotery deals.
I know that game stop in gilroy for example is sold out.
I have been half tempted to order one under my name and one under my girlfriends just to sell them on Ebay or craigslist. I have no desire to own one myself. Not impressed. Shoot in the few times I've been hanging out at gamestop in the last couple weeks I've seen person after person canceling their orders.
So me...personally...I doubt I'll pick one up. I don't think the shortage is real. If it is it will very much be temporary and only by the choice of xbox to try to create hype.
The PS3 is giong to own the xbox. I'll wait.

I stopped by two places but they only had an allotment of 14 (7 of each I think) and they were all gone. Target handed out tags to earlybirds in line outside.
I hope Microshaft comes out with a black or green xbox360, because that white thing will stick out like a sore D--- in my entertainment center.

My friend and I got there at 5 AM. I work at best buy, and knew people would be showing up super early. I wasn't willing to wait 14+ hours for a high def xbox.
The system is only backwards compatable with about 25% of the games, or so I've heard.

Hey guys... if anyone wants one, they may still have some left at the Fremont Costco.
My buddy said they were getting 150 of them, and many of the other bay area costcos didn't get any.
Edit- All sold in the first few minutes apparently
