I just got back from Best Buy and there is no chance I am getting one. They may have 266 in stock but the line is about that long and there is still another 12 hours before they open for the midnight launch. The line goes along the front of the store and down the side, across the parking lot and over to Home Depot. I stopped counting at 190. M$ really screwed the pooch on this one. Me being the pooch.

Here are some pictures. I didn't take these. Someone else did about the same time I was there. They where taken around noon. Bill Gates is supposed to be there to hand out the consoles.

You know, I'm gonna wait, read some reviews and stuff... and, last but not least wait for modchips to come out.
I don't think the 360 can beat the good old Xbox 1 in terms of customisation. It was the first console I ever owned (I've always been a pc gamer) and I think I only bought it because it was cheap an not that console-ish... I mean I don't need to tell you that the whole hard drive thing probably won't work that well on Billy's new baby. Guess they're not gonna make that mistake again, which is bad for me.
You know, to put it short: Xbox 1 is almost like a good friend to me. Apart from having sex it "does" a lot of things, and I don't think that the 360 will be more than "only" a nex gen console you can use to play games an watch videos. Or was the 360 this Windows-Spin-Off thingy?

I got one this morning along with PGR 3, Ridge Racer 6 and King Kong. Lucky me, I went to the Walmart this morning and they had 10 left . Cost me 600 bucks for the console and 3 games . This is a awsome console guys. Super smooth lightning fast graphics and gameplay. I think you guys will fall in love with it once you play it.
Get ready, The next generation is here!

Everybody in my town was sold out in a blink of an eye! (BUT) I knew someone at Target and the store in my home town didn't sell three core units and 2 harddrives becuase the people that drew numbers for them didn't purchase them. The stockperson I knew called me and and told me about it, I said I wanted everything, I ran him over the cash and he put it on his new employees discount card with 20% off everything. I sold everything but one console and one harddrive. I ended up with a free X-box 360 and some extra spending cash with the sales (Jackpot!).
