I became an Xbox owner on 3-11-02, I remember distinctly because that day was also the 6-month anniversery of the NY attacks.

Ordered on a drunken Christmas spending spree on 12/25/01. Received a couple days later.

As to the 12/25/02 date, I was wondering if all the new games were out then? ;)

Same here, although my mom said she didn't buy it. So, I waited and waited day after day because she said she was going to buy it for christmas. Well, when december 20th I got kinda ****ed cause I didn't think she got it:mad: So, I started looking around the house for it, and I came across the reciept. Well, I wasn't sure though because she did say she put it on layaway so I wasn't sure. I asked her to take me to the school dance on the 23th of december, and when she was taking me home a heard a "Uhh" and I said "What?". She said "well, um, I forgot to put you XBOX back in its case. (she was trying it out to see if it worked) and I was like "WHAT?!" "XBOX?!" "YES!!". Then I was like MOM!! your so ***! she was like "WHY", I said " cause you have had it all this time" she was like "merry christmas"

hehe well at least i got one

woo that took long to type:)

The day I got mine was 12/23/01. Yep, 2 days before Christmas. I walked into Costco saw about 20 there and walked out. Even better was that it was bundled with 2 games and an extra controller.

11/15/01

was working at best buy and i saw all these people coming in and buying their xbox so i got really jealous, asked my boss if i could take my lunch break and buy one for myself. So about 9am (store was opened for just the xbox people) i got my xbox. I was so happy, although i had to wait till later in the evening to play it as i had school.

Still looking for some games i like.... so far i'm only happy with Halo. =)
