    Default Chance of getting my 360 on launch?

    Hello everyone I pre ordered Xbox 360 Premium Pack at EB games back in september and I am getting it before Dec 15th But I already got 3 games Kameo, Condemned and PGR 3 so I have no point in waiting. I did NOT cancle my pre order yet as I am keeping it in back up, I have best buy and toys r us right next to each other and it takes me to get there like 15 mins. I called up my Best Buy they getting 100+ 360s and Toys Rus 30+ 360s at SAME PLACE they're right next to each other. On tuesday I am going to wake up at 7:30 AM and be there at 8:30. At 9 AM Toys Rus opens up and 10 AM Best Buy opens up. What are my chances of getting a 360?

    I would show up earlier. Last year, I camped outside at 5:00pm the day before and the store opened up at 8:00am. Yes, I was first in line, but, at Midnight, there were atleast 20 people there. At 6:00am, there were over 100 people. Then, we come to find out that the store only had 30 consoles...so, I don't know, man...other than show up earlier.

    I would have to say out of 100% and 100% say that you are getting it with no problem i would have to say about 75% from what my xbox360 calculator says. You go Savage-360 oh and welcome to xboxaddict.com. Where all your Xbox and xbox360 wishes come true.

    8:30 gives you a really good chance of getting one. In my experience, 80% of those willing to even show up by opening will arrive in the last 20 minutes before opening.

    It was particularily smart to find out how many consoles each store will be getting that morning, since now you can count those in line at toysrus and if need be, shift over to the BB lineup, and you'll beat anyone who walks into toysrus and gets turned down.

    You would also be wise to call and check if they're setting any rules as to the # of consoles / person. If toysrus is willing to give several to a single customer, then counting heads might not work out too well.

Heres my chances 1 walmart opening up at midnight has 10 xboxs to sell in a town of 100,000 people im goin there at like 9-10 but I dont think Il be able to get one but its worth a try.

    The place I'm buying mine has exactly 10 XBox 360s in stock...sitting in back waiting for the morning of the 22nd. This is one of the only places in my area that absolutely does not accept pre-orders...so, camping in line is the only way. Everywhere else, the console is completely sold out...months ago. Yep, it's going to be a long ass night...

    Ah...the prices we pay to be gamers...

    If you're really serious about the 360 then camp out side the shop with a friend overnight. Could have some good fun

    If not then just hope for the best - good luck for getting it on launch
