well i basically knew im getting xbox for xmas. we went to babbages. thats where i need to get one because i have over a hundred dollars in credit there already. we got there and they are completely sold out and cant keep them on the shelf. this is a very good thing but a very bad thing for me. i probably wont be getting an xbox for xmas people. :( :( :( i hope you all enjoy yours. man i was wanting to get up on xmas and open it up and play it, but i guess ill have to wait till after xmas to get one. the funny thing was that gamecubes were EVERYWHERE!! even the people working at the store were surprised by the sales of the box. they were laughing about how they were drowning in gamecubes. oh well. good for xbox, bad for me. this sucks.:(

The stores are selling out of Gamecube and Xbox fast in my area. I will see on or the other in a store 1 day, and they are sold out soon after. Only system relatively easy to find is PS2.

go to comp usa :) they don't have the xbox on shelfs there. U have to ask them in order to see the xbox :)

Everybody comes in and thinks, because there is not a xbox on the shelfs its sold out.

I had a buddy buy one on-line recently from KBtoys.com . I figure, if you can get it on-line and then buy games at the store where you have $100 credit, that you will be in good shape :) Give that site a shot...if not, then you might have to tough it out.

By the way, I like how you worded your original post......you clearly communicated that it was a great thing that XBox is doing well, but, that it kind of sucks that you can't find one yourself...lol....I can only imagine the feeling...but, that's life...You'll get one soon after, though...hang in there, buddy!

Best Buy is your best bet little trooper dude!
I got mine their last Thursday (Best Buy @ Pentagon City, VA). Those cats had over 30 of dem joints son!
Best Buys all across the country always get shipments EVERY week! Check there every Tuesday or Thursday!

Note: you have to buy it at the customer service line exclusively, so be prepared to wait in line.

Circuit City has 'em in my area...I mean i literally just walked in one day and asked and the guy hooked me up with it!! You should call before you go and ask them to hold one on the side and find out if they have it...

well, thanks for the advice. thank ya also for realizing that i love that the xbox is doing well but that at the same time it sucks that i cant get one. well, we dont have any best buys around here i think, and circuit city is ALWAYS sold out in my area.:( somebody also mentioned that it wouldnt be the same without it on the actual xmas day...i totally agree. i wanted so freakin bad to wake up on a chilly christmas day and play it. oh well...im still keepin my head up cause at least i know that i will eventually get one. and who knows, i might even end up getting lucky and get one on christmas.:) we'll see. YO MAXIMUS! BEER AND XBOX!!! WOO HOO!!!!! lol
