Here is some pre-order news: A news report on Yahoo stated that retailer Toys R Us Inc. said on Wednesday that its online store sold out its first batch of XBox game units in 30 minutes on Tuesday. Toysrus.com and its online partner Amazon.com Inc. began preselling the XBox this week, but only in a bundle for $200 above the suggested retail price.
A spokesman for Toysrus.com said that its entire batch sold out online in about 30 minutes.
Chris Co Depot: Best deal you will find is at EBworld,go online and get it while it lasts,it is said that it will last only days more. You get a choice, the most popular package as of now is MO,Halo, and DOA 3, all for $499.99. No tax unless you live in Nevada. About $14 for 2 day mail,and 20 for next day air. They will ship on November 7th,a day before the actual launch date. You also get an extra controller.
It's the best deal out there,there will be none other better.
As for buying just the XBOX and let's say MO with another controller it will be very difficult.With that deal you still will pay about $420. So the EB world deal you still get two of the top games.
From what I understand from various sources is that on launch day 11-8 ,all the stores selling will have lines of 200-400 people,you will have to get there something like 12-24 hours before hand to secure a spot near the front of the line.On top of that you will still not be 100% secure due to the individual stores giving out priority numbers,it's a possibilitie as of now. Another negative is that each store will be getting only 25-50 XBOX's on launch day with 200-400 people waiting and fighting in line.
Anyway if I hear something good I'll clue you in.
