One thread should be enough.

And yeah, I visited my local Fred Meyers and they were sold out. In fact, everyone is sold out so capatilists are taking advantage of those without patience.

Must be nice to have money to throw around in this day and age, but for an xbox, don`t figure...

Ok who`s hiding the smiles, I know there around here somewhere, stumbles around as if in the dark...... OUCH, ok, who didn`t push in the chair...

I kind of wish that I had waited in those lines now, so I could sell it off for four times the price on ebay. :D Although some of the 0 feedback bidders might not be serious about it.

Think of all those desperate parents... Sucks to be them.

I'll wait until version 1.01 of the X360 rolls around along with a price cut. $400 is way too much to spend on any console. Once I do get one though, I'll pick up PDZ, Oblivion, GR:AW (which is looking freakin' awesome), and some other titles.

Dont be shocked if that auction was rigged.  I'm finding that happened more and more often, especially on electronics.  It's funny to see a video card go for 500.000 used on ebay and find the exact same card for sale new at Fry's Electronics for 200.00.

amazing.
