I don't see how it can be so hard in the states to get an xbox360. Here in sweden I can go into my local gameshop and say "x360 premium now! oh btw give me Condemned, Call of Duty 2 and Kameo aswell... hmm maybe an extra controller too?" and get the response "mkay, you want something to carry it in too?".
So why haven't I done it? Because I am still waiting for Oblivion so when that gets released it is x360 time.
Real simple life here...
