I'm planning on buying an XBox this weekend. What I want to know is how hard are they to find. I hope not as hard as it was to find a ps2 last year. What I want to know is can I go into the store and pick one up? Or am I going to have to go at 3 a.m. and wait 10 hours to get one? :confused: :confused:
Thanks =)

Only you can find those answers my friend! What that means is--is that it all depends if a lot of customers were there before you to hog all of them, and if not, you're pretty lucky.. hehe :)

It seems that just enough are being released that those who are committed (heh heh ... he said committed) can probably score a console. I didn't pre-order but with a bit of luck and legwork was able to pick one up at Game Stop (mall store) on 11/16.

Good luck!

Just call everyone by you and all stores that sell it in like a 30 mile radius. Its possible, no doubt...but the trouble is finding the one that has it...or one that knows when they will get some in

Well, I don't really live in a big city, I've got a Wal-Mart/K-Mart/ToysRUs/and a pretty big mall with a Software etc. store. I guess this isnt the best time because I dont get my license until dec. 13th (when I turn 16 :D ) and I highly doubt my dad would understand the whole "camping" thing :p . So if I don't get one...... I'll be very disapointed :mad: . First game I get will probably be Halo, I think I'll rent some first to see though :D

lol, I found walmart to be a comfy place with the nice chairs they, um, provided...yes thats right...I would do it again as long as the people would be as nice and knowledgeable....dome punk kid thought he was so smart and he was, well an idiot. He was like bragging how much he has waited for the xbox to everyone and him and some 40 year old dad got all confused...they were going back and forth saying things like "Does the Xbox have a hard drive?" "Yeah I think its 80 megabytes, or it could be 800 megabytes." They were so misinformed. If the beast had an 80MB HD, umm I dont even know how they would make one. The platter would be like an inch...It might as well have a CF card...anyway it was amusing to listen to them talk to each other. The dad thought the kid was like a, dare i say an Xboxaddict? lol

I saw some at my local target store already. They said they get them in every week and that they usally sell out with in 2 days. Shouldn't be to hard to find one.
