    2nd shipment..is around

    Last night i had nothing better to do...but 2nd shipment is coming.

    Here are some stories:

    Well, at least in a Midwest Circuit City warehouse.

    My manager checked today and found that a CC in the Midwest had 500 units. So most likely more CCities will be getting 360s in.

    (Sucks that our warehouse doesn't have any )

    This isn't speculation.
    so i work for best buy in product process (aka shipping) and I knew 2 days before the "document" was released that we would not be getting the till the 16th. and no one really believed me. now I have talked to three other wherehouses I know people in and thay HAVE THEM and are trucking them out, they SHOULD without any problems be in by sunday MORN. now this was for EB and Gamestop since they are the same essentially. if your on second shipment i wish you the best. I was not told how many would ship tho.
    Update for La Crosse, WI:

    -Target: Initial shipment of 15 units. Have only received 1 other shipment of 5 units since launch.
    -Best Buy: Had an initial shipment. No shipments since launch. However, the person I talked to did confirm the Dec. 18th sale of incoming 360 units.
    -Walmart: No new shipments since launch.
    nothing at target (greatland) in troy (maple coolidge). i was first in line today and got the pleasure of being told they didn't get any. apparently 12 yesterday though. dont know whether to bother tmw./this week.
    Stopped by Wal-Mart this morning at 8 a.m. and scored a Premium! They received 4 last night. They also had 3 hard drives.
    So guys MS did not lie at all..they are all being shipped out, the first quote I posted sounds great...500 units in one warehouse.

    Good luck guys, MS did not lie!

        I have a brother who works at BB here in Montreal and he said they should be getting them in a few days.

            I second that, but I'm still waiting for the pre-pay I still have at EB for my little brother.

              Dang, trying to get the undercover flow on these releases is so crucial. I'm struggling hard trying to figure out stuff for my sister's fiancee`. That seems like the only way I'll be getting one anytime soon. Sure would be nice to have him let me babysit his system a little while. Hopefully he finds one at BB or CC sometime this week. I told him to check last week. I'm sure he's a little tired of coming across empty-handed. Only way to get one, though, is to be on it. Maybe one of these times he'll be getting what he deserves for his hard work. Good looking out again fellaz.......

                Local Best Buy says keep calling because they don't know when they'll be getting any more. One of the guys there did tell me last week that if they get any it will be on a Monday and they won't be put out until after hours so they will first be available Tuesday at openning.

                Local Walmart is playing dumb and saying they think they'll get another shipment after Xmas.

                  To be honest, MS is full of ****. Major Nelson came right and said there would be some this weekend, and there's nothing. Wasted my time going to target both mornings. I've read all the comments from everywhere, seems like there's around 100 total that targets got this weekend, and that's about it. I don't really care that they don't have any, but to come out and say that there will be this weekend and then have nothing show up, that's utter bs. Shortage, no problem, lying about it, yes that's a problem.

                      That's exactly how I'm feeling. And, yeah, maybe there are a FEW systems out here and there in the U.S., but there definitely aren't any in my area (Kenosha, Wis.) I called every major retailer that carries XBox 360 merchandise in Kenosha and Racine, Wis., both Saturday and today, and not one store had received even a single unit, according to their sales representatives.

                        Here's what was said:

                        Speaking to USA Today, um, yesterday, Microsoft’s Molly O’Donnell said that replacement stock was, “on the way, and it should be on retailers' shelves by the end of the week or for the weekend."

                        So where should I go? Bestbuy, Target, Walmart, Toysrus, Gamestop, ebgames--none have any in, nor have they had any since launch. Microsoft is producing 33,000 a day or more--where are they? Not here evidentally. There's none online, and none locally. So the above statement was a total lie in my opinion.

                          The key word there is SHOULD be IMO. It sucks that you dont have one, but I'm sure if you are patient and make sure to followup with stores, you can snag one. Good luck to all

                              It is a known fact that many of Circuit City, Walmart, and Best Buy employees are buying them up before they make it onto the shelves and then turning around and selling them on Ebay!
