That has to be mistake on Circuit City's part but if it is...

my whole lauch plan would be all out of whack...

Does someone have access to a store allocation list like the one posted for Best Buy?

When I called the 800 # for Circuit City as well as the two stores in my area they all repeated that the ability to preorder the bundles would be available on Friday, not the actual system itself. In fact according to all three the Circuit City stores wont receive their 360's until Tuesday, the 22nd, which seems strange considering the smallest shipping delay will scew everything up for the 22nd but thats what I was told.

From what I understand, they'll be selling PRE-ORDERS Friday at 2PM. They will ship Nov. 21st..just what I've heard.

no mistake my friends, I just called that 1800 number thats was in that joystick link, and I just spoke to a women on the phone....this is how it went....


CC: Hello circut city How may I assist you

ME: Yes I just came across your website saying your releasing the xbox 360 on friday at 2pm, is this correct.

CC: Yes SIR, that is correct

ME: WOW I thought the release date was the 22nd

CC: Yup that was the original release date

ME: How are you guys able to release it on friday then

CC: We got our Release date pushed up

ME: Really, are you the only guys that were able to do this

CC: So far yes, we searched out competitor websites and they are still
releasing on the 22nd, so I guess we are the only ones. We just got the ok...

ME: HMMMMMMMMMMMM, Thank you very much.

CC: No problem, make sure you get there early there may be some big lines..Oh yeah don't forget you can order online at 2pm also..

ME: thanks a lot for the INFO

GUys this just keeps getting better and better each day, I love also this hoopla....In the end we may be seeing the system being released friday everywhere.....I just don't see how circut city could release it before anyone else, so i think Circut City may have leaked this......It's all good, just to think I may be playing my 360 for the weekend.

I just can't see them doing that. No way they'd push up a system launch like that, would they?!

Microsoft will get wind of this and kill it.

Re: Circuit City to be selling Xbox 360s in store on Friday?

Ill be pissed if only Circuit City can sell them friday.

I dont see it happening. No way MS gives Circuit City the okay and not anyone else.

I do not think we have the whole story. I believe it is preorders they are selling and not the actual system. Circuit City does not have more pull over any of the other retailers when it comes to this.

for sure, I just think CC just doesn't know what the hell there talking about, I have no clue why this lady told me this. I think that you will only be able order online, and they think that there going to sell it in stores....lol...Yeah of all stores circut city, like who are they...
