      I got my Xbox 360 today from FYE. They kept saying don't say Xbox 360 out load as to not create pandemonium or something. And they even offered an employee to walk me to my car so no one tries to jump me and take it. I was like... "I'll be fine."

          It was surreal, they brought it out from lock and key in the back..TRIPLE bagged it, once people in lines with dvds and cds saw it they started asking me and the employees questions. They recieved 17 premiums and 1 core to fufill all remaining second shipment pre-orders, which was weird because they were only allowed to take 2 pre-orders for the Nov. 22 first shipment. The funny thing is the actual story behind my 360. In early summer when everyone was putting in their pre-orders for the 360 at gamestop and ebgames etc. I waited it out, saying there is no way there would be a shortage of these products ala PS2, Xbox etc. There was no way these companies would do this AGAIN, and release in limited quantaties (but alas its a marketing scheme, create higher demand by releasing fewer). In Late September I decide I will pre-order one, b/c I was starting to get nervous. I would call all EB and Gamestops in my area hoping to get a spot on a pre-order sheet, and everytime I called I was basically laughed at in a pretentious and condescending tone as if I will never get a 360. Then one day in the late October I go to lunch with a co-worker. We happened to be walking the mall during our break and we wanted to eat at the bottom level food court. So we're eating and I see an FYE tucked away in the area of the food court. Next to the window I see a sign advertising 360 pre-orders. So I went and took a shot in the dark to see if they had any pre-orders avaialable. Luckily there was 4-5 left, and I put $50 down. Well poetic justice is served up, as I got my 360 before most of my friends who pre-ordered through the first F'ing shipment with EBgames and Gamestop....HAHA (same people who laughed at me on the phone). Crazy stuff. And to think I pre-ordered in LATE OCTOBER. I think EB and Gamestop have severily miss-managed this who pre-order ordeal. I will definetely be pre-ordering the PS3 through this FYE. They were very effecient and friendly. And btw, while I was walking out of the mall tonight..at least 5-6 people stopped and asked me where I got the 360 and/or if they could buy it off me. LOL...

              i had some time with the 360, with games like Live, COD2 and Madden. The graphics ain't that big of a difference, I don't care what anybody says. Live is all about sweat and I love the fact that you practice with a player as you wait a good 5 mins for any game to load. The 360 itself is a mini-pc...
              Anyways, I rather spend the money on a psp and keep either of the old-gen system than buy the 360 for over $500.

                    Well, I no longer belong to Operation Sports Without a 360 club. I got up early this morning and was thinking about going up to my local Best Buy to see how many million campers were out. Thinking how bad it was going to suck, I decided to hop up on Best Buy Online and noticed they were selling an Xbox Premium for $399.99. I quickly added it to my shopping cart and needless to say, it is set to arrive at my door by December 23rd. Woot woot!!! Good luck to those who are still searching.

                          Thanks brother! I went out Christmas shopping last night and I was unable to find one anywhere. I really had my doubts that I was going to be able to get one this month as I heard the Best Buy lines this morning were ridiculous. It took less that 2 minutes to sell out online by the time I noticed it. They were selling just the 360 Premium for $399.99 and another bundle with Quake and PDZ for $589.99. Keep an eye on both them and Circuit City online as my Xbox 360 tracker did not pick it up in time. I just randomly checked and found it available so there are systems coming guys. Keep the faith and I hope you guys land one soon.

                            Brother, I know how bad it sucks as I have been on the hunt with the rest of you guys. I tried to add another system with mine but it sold out so fast that I was fortunate to get the one I had in my cart. Unlike Circuit City.com were it was in my cart and then unavailable when I clicked checkout.

                              I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                              I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(
