I will not be standing in line but I am going to my local Best Buy at midnight to get one. They will have 266. It will be Glorious.

266!! Are you serious? My local bestbuy is getting 43. My local ebgames is only getting 14 (out of 40+ pre-orders)!! I wish I had as much luck as you do lol. I really don't think I will be getting one at launch.

There are only 12 stores that will open at midnight and they are each getting 100 extra. I work in Bellevue, WA and that store is on the list. 200 Premium and 66 Core systems.

My backup is Costco. I can get in 1-1/2 hours before most people but I have heard rumors that they will not be selling them until everyone can come in as it is not really fair to all.

Yah, I think that I will go to bestbuy, if that fails, then costco is across the parking lot. I haven't talked to see if they will sell on black friday or the 22nd. They just sell bundles with PGR3 though..

I thin kwalmart and target will be my next chouce after that.

NOooooo. Actually, bestbuy will be opening at 9 on d-day, and they will be giving tickets to those who go in wanting to buy a 360. If you go in without a ticket, they won't sell one to you, apparently.

A day or two? I say if you're not there when they open you're not getting one. No confirmation on when second shipment is or how many there will be either. I'm sure it will be before Xmas.

Many people on the second shipment have been getting emails that they will get theirs on december second. Only a week or so after launch, but I will get drilled by my friends if they get theirs on the first day, and I don't lol.

Will wait as long as it takes (upto mod chip release day)?

For you that cannot wait go to Game, Dixons and play the demos?

My hopes of the first day are tarnished...My bestbuy was supposed to get 43, but I just got an ad in the paper stating that it will only be getting 20 premiums and 10 cores.

For the love of god, MS, hurry and make some more.

EDIT: oh thank god someone pointed this out to me. It says "minimum" of 20 premiums. Whew, i almost had a heart attack.

I drove by my Best Buy this morning (Sunday) and there is already a line. Only a few people but they must really want one. I might stop by about 10pm on Monday but if I have to wait longer than 2 hours in line to get one I will just wait for the next shipment.
