Xbox 360...where to find them

Original post by MCDO15

Ok...i posted this in FM to a couple of people that wanted mine when the thing first came out but now, Best Buy's acourse the country will have to stock at least 20 units on Dec 18th but they may just hold the number below of units they have to that day. Im not sure if these are premiums systems or cores. My suggestion is if you really want one, you get there early and stand in line for a couple of hours (like i did) as this will be the last major shipment to a major store before xmas. Please do not quote me on this infomation (i would do more research and contact your local best buy to verify this info) But this is a master list given from a discrict manager at best buy. It will be 1 per person online and this may or may not be a bundle purchase (meaning you it comes with games, controllers, etc..)

86th And Lexingtn NY (Store 835) 54 systems
Bay Shore NY (Store 442) 44 systems
Brooklyn NY (Store 599) 52 systems
Chelsea NY (Store 482) 80 systems

its offical..update the first post

each store has to have 20..looks like this list will be acurate



What time do you think I should go to wait in line???



depends what town you live in..depends if you really want one..

On PS2 launch (2001) i went online at 2 am and was still the 100th person out of 175 units.

On 360 launch (nov) i got online at 4:30 a am at Costco and was number 15 of 24. Nobody suspected costco would have them on day1.

I would try around 4am or so depending on the weather conditions.

how close are you to the store? which store are you going to? i know this sounds odd, but get there first, this way you dont have to worry about it. so what if you wait a couple of hours, you can buy it what its suppose to cost and the only thing you will be losing is a couple of sleep. Pull your car up and wait, once people start coming, claim you spot in line. dress warm


Thanks sooo much for the advice!! I live in Poughkeepsie and am going to the Poughkeepsie Galleria Mall to their Best Buy. Do they open early for this thing?? I dont even know what time they normally open.

It wasn't bad at all!!! We would sit in the car and then go back out at times when we got too cold. The people were all friendly and talked alot so that made the time go by real fast!!!
