Hmm... Great. News leak on the 3rd shipment of the 360 on CNN... and I received reliable info from an employee that at least one of the local Best Buys around me is going to get a shipment in tomorrow. I'm thinking about camping it out tomorrow at another Best Buy that's closer(the one I called is an hour away)... I've learned from my mistake this weekend. If indeed they're going to receive a shipment tomorrow and sell Friday, I'm gonna make god damn sure I'm gettin one and camp out starting tomorrow morning... and keep in mind that this has been leaked on the news... Think this is a good idea? This might even turn out to be a repeat of this last weekend, probably not as bad since the leak was recent, but still... Could be the last chance before the holidays

US Nationalist, im from arlington too, what time are u gonna head up there?
tracemhunter
which best buy? parks or six flags?
Dominader786
im gonna try parks first. Also, if you noticed they just opened one up in mansfield that no one really knows about, could be worth it to try there too.

I'm headin up to the one at Lincoln Square as soon as they open, maybe a little later, and probably gonna bring a lawn chair with me for until friday, and some things to keep me occupied until then
US Nationalist
well guys, I'm gonna head off of here a little early(lol, 11:15pm=early) to rest up for tomorrow; I'm still debating on whether or not to stay there as soon as I get there when it opens, or go there a little later near midday and start waiting from there. I'll be waking up at 7:30 or so to look at the replies, and I'm gettin ready and headin off! Good luck to you all pop.gif
Dominader786
good luck, I'll give you an update if the mansfield or parks one has any in stock. I'll be up there at 8 in the morning to check it out.

Hope you guys didn't miss out already, the Best Buy here had theirs in this morning.

u guys are nucking futz. just wake up at 8am and surf the net until around 10am. wal-mart, circuit city, etc... they all in one way or another have them for sale. I got to work this week at 8am and basically checked the availability websites every 10 minutes and what do you know... this morning at like 9am i popped open CC dot com and the add to cart link was green! didn't even surf the avail. sites... just happen to be active on the net and I didn't have to wait in the cold for friggin 20 hrs.

i have a sister that works for BB in chicago and she says according to the computer her store is getting 36 tomorrow morning and that the truck usually arrives between 7am and noon but they arent putting them out till friday morning so im sure most all BB's will be getting some for friday morning sales

i've checked the systems and indeed best buy are going to get more shipments in tomorrow. but from their newsletter, they won't sell them until the next day. so if they received it on wednesday, sell on thurs, receive on thurs, sell on fri etc etc.
US Nationalist
Alright, today's the day! I'm still gathering things up to take with me to Best Buy, so I'll be leavin here in a few minutes. Gonna make damn sure I get one this time happy.gif and if anyone else is doing the same, good luck! I may be posting back tomorrow with pictures

looks like my speculations were true about Mansfield Best Buy. I went to the one at the parks at 8 AM and they said they only got 2 and sold them out. I went to the one in Mansfield (the one no one knows about because it opened recently) and they still had 3 left at 8:45. They're sold out now prolly.

Looks like I don't have to camp out as I expected... I finally got my hands on this baby smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif
They did the routine explained in the flyer; the guy asked me what brought me in, I told em, they tried to get me to buy 10 billion other things for it, went to the front, paid for it, the woman handed me one smile.gif I wanted to give her a hug love.gif So I finally got one, especially before Christmas.

If any of y'all in the same area didn't happen to go up to Best Buy, I went to the one in Lincoln Square, and hardly anyone was there, even at 8:30. I doubt they'll have them if you leave to go there now, they might, idk, but your next best bet is at Target at noon today. I'm gonna call em up and try to make sure they're going to receive this "midday shipment", and I'll post what they said

My christmas has already been made cool.gif Good luck to the rest of y'all!

Hey guys. I live in Carrollton and have been looking forever for the 360, and finally yesterday, I got one from circuit city online. Then my dad comes home from Philly last nite, and guess what he has in his suitcase - an xbox 360. So now I have two. If you can't find one, I do have one that I will sell for $550 (Premium). I can meet you somewhere.

I know this isn't the BST forum, but since you are close to me, I though I may be able to save you some grief.
