    That is crazy. I prolly saw you but I was mad at the situation and having to get a core system at that point. Doubt you remember, but I had a red St. John's stocking hat on.

        Anyone have any suggestions on what day and maybe even the time the retail stores will likely be getting more systems next week? I've seen Tuesday and Thursday in different threads. Anyone here with retail job experience who might know if that's accurate?

          It's crazy, I wonder when they will start to show up. I stood in line at a Midnight Best Buy opening for 13 hours and was able to get one. I have a prepay at EB waiting on second shipment. I decided that I would just let my brother buy that one since he wants a system, unless he changes his mind and then I have one to sell.

                Best Buy in Charlotte would not comment.

                  Worcester Best Buy says they'll get one shipment before Christmas but possibly right afterward.

                    I screwed up in my initial post.

                    I was referring to getting a hard drive.
                    -------------------------------------------------
                    Grant it, I paid $76.00 over retail on ebay.

                    But it arrived today, once I got home from work.

                    At this point, I don't care.. I just know having the memory card only sucked a$$!

                      So has anyone gotten their hands on one after the initial release that wasnt a preorder? Its so frustrating cant get one anywhere, and retail store employees are getting extremely rude when you call and ask. Screw it im finding my nearest Microsoft factory and camping out there, it has to work.

                          In my opinion, they ought to do away with preorders and lining up. Just do lottery like walmarts do. That way, you get one system. If you want to sell it go ahead. If not, that's all you're going to get unless you have a friend who wins the lottery at another place and doesn't want his/hers.
                          I completely disagree. People who have the foresight and presence of mind to plan months ahead deserve to get a system more than those who wait till the last minute and just show up trying to get a system. As for the lottery preventing people from hoarding and selling systems on Ebay, it would not stop that either. People would do the same thing people did for this past launch, they would get some friends and go in cash-wise and spread out to win lotteries, then sell what they get on ebay. It's not that difficult at all to get any system, be it 360 or PS3 or whatever, so long as you plan ahead far enough and don't wait up until the last minute. I preordered my original system at Gamestop in March and was told I'd not get a launch system. Then I went to Ebgames and preordered there in April and was told I would. It ended up people dropped out of the preorder program at Gamestop so I moved up the list.

                          The bottom line is I ended up with two Xbox 360 Premium Systems because of a combination of planning ahead, ensuring I would get at least one system, and of course, blind luck. And although I know you said you didn't want an Xbox 360..the truth is that there is no reason to complain about how the system works. It may not seem fair to you but it really is because everyone who didn't get a 360 had the same chance as me to preorder back in March but they chose not to. But then again...who said capitalism was supposed to be fair?

                            I got "the call" today. Hopes high ... my local Gamestop wanted to know if I'd be interested in the core system ... *sigh*. It seems they received a couple core systems unexpectedly. Tough call, as I have the premium pre-ordered ... but I passed. They also told me that they received an email indicating they would get more this coming week. Should've asked if they were going to be the premium system ... LOL.

                            It appears that I'm next in line to get my pre-order from Gamestop. I think I can wait one more week to get the one I want.

                              If they get the Premium in next week, then I think you made the right call. The premium is such a good value. Plus I hear it's tough to find the hard drive. Good luck!

                                I heard that the HDD is hard to get a hold of. It's been going on ebay anywhere from $125-$200. That's almost 1/2 the price of the system. I should have bought a few HDD's at the midnight launch just to make some money.
