I'm surprised no one is using this software: http://untitlednet.com/ It's how I found 360's for four of my friends in the past week. Updates in realtime and sends you a text message to your phone or e-mail alerting you that they're in stock at either a number of Best Buy stores near you or Circuit City.

Thanks to this software, I am now in the club! Woohoo! Was working at my desk, got a notice that it was at the Circuit City down the street from me, and immediately took a quick "coffee" break. Even with the rapid notice I barely got the 4th out of 4 premiums they got in today. Anyways, I fully vouch for the software, and I think I'll even PayPal the guy a few bucks for making it.

Sounds like there was a big shipment recently as my pre-order finally came in today! sweeet!

[ocelittle]

rastex: where did you pre-order? what country?

Give info dude :)

Yea, Best Buy near me got like 15 in yesterday. My friend finally got his 360.

I think the tide is starting to turn. I bet within a month or so people will be able to walk right in and buy one at any time.

Pre-ordered in like mid-October with EBGames in Ktichener-Waterloo, Ontario.

Yep. When I got my 360 yesterday, they had six Premiums in stock.

edit - Thanks for the Linksys gaming router recommendation. Works VERY well

Aw man, I pre-ordered in late Oct in Torotno, but I had to cancel it and re-preorder on Monday in Calgary.

Crapload of 360 premiums are availible in Bay Area Best Buys, well atleast as of an hour ago. I picked one up with DOA4. No bundles!!!!!!!!!

Found it by using the tool Speed razor posted, I'd suggest using that to help find one in your area.

[JuanMR2]

Which Best Buy did you get yours at Dante?

[Dante]

I got it at the Best Buy On 17th and Harrison.

[Spaceman Spiff]

Nice to see some California bay area Best Buy stores are (finally) getting 360s in stock, but it is still far too sporadic. When I got my console last month, I thought that MS would be sticking to replenishing stock weekly, but it's sad that systems are only now coming in. Who knows when the next shipment will be in?

I've had a friend who has been looking for a system for the last two weeks, to no avail. These online tracking tools really seem to do the trick, though; I directed him to one I saw posted at TXB, (say what you will about the place, but every once in a long while they come through...), and lo and behold, he was able to score himself a Premium system today.

Sad part is, he preordered his system last August. :/ I remember him telling me "You won't get a system unless you've preordered... blah, blah, blah..." Now I'm laughing, because the guy who "reserved" a console ended up getting one after me, who couldn't be bothered to do so.

That says something...

[Docpan]

I finally, FINALLY fuckin' got one.

Long story. I'll tell all later.

All I'd like to say now is that Xbox Live is now finally worth the price it costs. Microsoft did this right.

[Hayami]

no thanks.

[Docpan]

[m0dus]

Who here still wants one? is there anyone in this thread still looking for one? (preferrebly in the continental US?)

[Dr_Cogent]

?

Pay no attention to him. His posts are worthless 99-100% of the time.

but what if this is that 1%?

[Dr_Cogent]

It's not. And I was giving him the benefit of the doubt. It's 100%.

[DaCocoBrova]

Why don't you guys go to Craig's List? They have tons of unopened 360s with warranties and all that.

Cause they overcharge

[Kung Fu Jedi]

I'm still looking. I'm using the tool posted earlier in this thread to see when they come in stock in my area. There have been some in the Best Buys and Circuit Cities, but they've all been sold before I've had a chance to go get one.

As I've said a few times though, I'm patient. I really only want one by March so I'm ready for Oblivion and GRAW. I should have one by then. :)

[DaCocoBrova]

'They' is relative since there are new sellers everyday. I paid 375 w/ 3 controllers for a Premium, so no.

There's on there for a little over $400.

[truffleshuffle83]

but but but it doesnt fit on top of the original????? congrats dacocobrova whats your GT

Good deal. Did you haggle?

[DaCocoBrova]

Nope. This lady bought it for her kids. They played it only a few times then it collected dust.

Timing is everything!

Probably because there aren't any true AAA games for the damn thing yet though ;)



I want my Next-Gen!

[SonnyBoy]

We need a game rental availablity thread too. I want to try more 360 games but I refuse to pay for some of that trash . BB is pissing me off by dragging their feet and I live in Baltimore so Gamefly is going to be more like Gamewalk.

[DaCocoBrova]

I'm in DC and use Gamefly. There's a thing you can do to speed up game delivery. Ask DarienA for more details.

[Marlowe]

I am still looking to buy a premium system and I am in the continental U.S. -- I WILL NOT BUNDLE! IT IS EVIL! :-)

Thanks for the heads up. I'll hit him up.

I love older ladies w/ kids (heh). I sold an X360 to one at launch; she paid the ridiculous premium even though she wasn't going to give it to her grandkids until Christmas Day.

Now you got me sifting through Craigslist for one...

[Kung Fu Jedi]

The Good News: The Inventory Tracker says that the CC near my place just got some 360's instock. :)

The Bad News: We're having a board meeting at my job today, so not only will I be unable to sneak out at lunch to get one, I'm working late tonight as well. :(

[DaCocoBrova]

Would you have to go to the board meeting if you were vomitting profusely due to a bad McDonald's breakfast sandwich?

Make an excuse to leave temporarily and go get that bitch!

or

[snatches]

It's not. And I was giving him the benefit of the doubt. It's 100%.

Can't you just slip out right now?

[trmas]

Circuit City, Best Buy and WalMart seem to have gotten a decent size restock recently. However, I'm wondering how Gamestop and such are feeling about MS given they STILL can't fill all their preorders and MS continues to ship the majority of its stock to the retail stores.

[Kung Fu Jedi]

Can't you just slip out right now?

Nope. We're all suppose to be on our best behavior today, and as the IT Guy, I'm needed for setting up some things (projectors, laptops, wireless) and to be sorta on call if anything goes awry.

I also haven't been working here all that long (about 5 1/2 months) so I'm still on double secret probation! ;)

you don't have a damned assistant? Say you are about to take a crap, that could take up to 45 mins sometimes.

Can someone go buy it for you and you pay them back?

[truffleshuffle83]

PM modus, sounds like he has one to get rid of

[Kung Fu Jedi]

I called the girlfriend. She's going to see if she can grab one for me on her way home from class. Maybe I'll have a 360 for the weekend! Wee!!!

[DustinC]

Walked into a local EB Games here in Cinci and picked one up this morning. It was there last night, but all I had was the checkbook, and they don't take 'em. Thankfully it was still there this morning...

[m0dus]

I do indeed. For, like, ubercheap. It's funny, though, NOBODY seemed to notice my post

[JuanMR2]

kmart has Premium System in stock http://www.kmart.com/catalog/product...oductId=139471

Computerbrain does too http://www.computerbrain.com/applica...360PLAT&sc=FRG

Dell http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/p...9&sku=A0561503


And for those still in the hunt you can check these two sites periodically

[AZ Greg]

I think the drought is ending. Online stores seem to be getting them in more frequently and stores like Best Buy and TRU in my area have some in stock.

[ocelittle]

And yet the EB's in Canada get one to two per month.

Hurray!

[Kung Fu Jedi]

Well, no luck. :( My gf did stop at Circuit City, and they told her they were not instock, despite the fact that the Inventory Tool says that they are. Since I was in meetings most of the afternoon, the Tool has updated and says that they are instock in the other Circuit Cities in my area as well.

I'm guessin that some bozo doesn't know they are in back, but they may have been checked in, but not put on the floor. I may still stop on the way home tonight, or go first thing in the morning, as the last time CC had them instock, the were there for a day or two according to this software.

Of course, the other alternative is that the software is competely wrong.
