    Re: For those that pre-ordered x360's at EB

    Does anyone know if places like Best Buy or Circuit City will be doing any sort of midnight launch?

      Well Where I live, there are 2 bestbuys right down the street from eachother, and I called one bestbuy and they said they will open at 5am to start selling the 360, the other store said they are opening at 8am, and the store that will open at 5am told me I should come at 2am, and the other store that will open at 8am told me to come at 12am, I told that store I'm running, I wouldn't wait in any line for no freakin 8 hours for anything, unless Mariah Carey was bending over at the end of that line. I'm sure I will find one somewhere if I can't get one at my ebgames, I have so many stores in my aera It's just a given I will get one.

          I got good news too. I just found out that im in the top 5 at my store and we were only getting 35. It paid to reserve the 360 way back on May 14.

            My store is getting in 50, and I'm #1, so I'm not worried. Yes, I preordered before E3. LOL

                FF,

                I'm just going off of experience when the PS2 came out and there was a shortage. I live just outside of Baltimore and in my area we have 2 Best buys, 2 Walmarts, 2 Targets, 1 Toys R US and 1 Sears within 20 minutes. Every single one of them had a line around the block at 8 am. I know this because like an idiot I drove around all morning looking for a ps2. The point is if the rumors of a shortage are true, Its gonna be difficult to get one w/o preordering or waiting in line for 5+ hours.

                  I agree with that, I waited 8 hours for a PS2, but it was such a great time. Waiting in line with a bunch of gamers and just bs'ing. One of the most fun nights.

                      Is there a date set for when the PS3 comes out? I don't want to have any of the same trouble with the 360. Does anyone have any idea how many months in advance places like ebgames lets you pre-order?

                        No date set for the ps3. EB and Gamestop didnt let you preorder until after the MTV special. During the special, MS announced that the system would be released in November, so they had at least a target month. Sony hasnt even announced a target month yet.

                            I asked the woman at EB Games yesterday and she didn't even know when it was going to be released. I guess Sony doesn't even know yet I suppose.

                                I went to the EB I used to workat and one of my former Co Workers explained to me what happened. He said Microoft was not prepared for the amount of Preorders they recieved and had to cut the amount the offered at launch as they could not handle the order. He said that will be releasing a shipment each week speciafically for Preorders until EB's preorders are filled and that they also had a meeting about accessories as well as microsoft has stated that there wont be a a whole lot of extras shipped to stores like the EBs as they are concentrating on the preorders. My boy said this launch of Xbox 360 preorder wise is the highest ever even more than PS2
