I doubt gamestores still have pre-orders for the first shipment. And since the second shipment could be quite a while, there is no point in getting on the second shipment.

If you live in the USA, your best bet on getting on at 12:01 on release day, would be to go to your local Super Walmart. They should have enough in stock if you are there around midnight. They always do, while all the gamestores are out of consoles/handhelds, Walmart always has them instock.

I would go to my local Best Buy or Circuit City at midnite. Or you can try the freexbox.com thing in my sig. I hear they are legit so I'm giving it a try. I just did the blockbuster online DVD rental thing.

Walmart is wil just have the $299 version, and the $399 version. They will not have any bundles. And are you sure walmart is taking preorders on it? I didn't think they did pre-orders on anything...

a brick and mortar walmart will NOT force you to buy a bundle.  buy the system only and walk out if you like.  as long as you get your butt there a couple hours before midnight, you should have no problem.  expect a line.  you can do the same at a walmart that opens at 7am.  or a target that opens at 8am.  again, just show up a couple hours early.  it's how i got my ps2 and gamecube.  i could have easily got another xbox this way.  also remember that rural walmarts tend to have some remaining systems throughout the day if you are willing to drive a little.

Ys, like madperry said.... The walmart bundles are online only, they won't be selling the bundles in-store.

Well... looks like i'm going to be standing in line that night... I am leaving my 2nd allocation reserve on because My buddy who works at GameCrazy says if someone comes up and cancels because they can't pay for it then I'm on the list... hopefully i'll be able to get one there is 4 walmarts within a 30 mile radius... plus a target, circuit city, and a best buy...

This brings me to the fact as I hate my Ex with a passion... she's the whole damn reason i missed the first allocation reserves...  :grr:

I recently pre-ordered one at EB Games 2 weeks ago. I'm on shipment two, hopefully that doesn't pull into next year, it'd be nice to have as early as possible!
