Normally I have conservative with what and where I spend my money. Right now I am just itchin' to lay down my cash on a preorder for the XBox. I know I could preorder it now on the web, but I want to get it locally. I like the idea of walking in the store and walking out with my load of X stuff. But dammit the guy at my local EB is still saying "I'm guessing sometime in early September." I guess I'll spend Halloween camped out in the mall parking lot.

I'm just curious to know if many others here are waiting to preorder locally? Or even if anyone knows of some big chains that are taking local preorders... Toys r Us...
