Does anyone know when I can pre-order one of theses babies? I am hoping to do so at Best Buy if possible, I from the US.

Why not ask at Best Buy?

Game stores such as EB games and Gamestop are already taking pre-order's I'm not sure about best buy but if the store takes pre-orders they probably have already started. Call them and if they do they may be out of first shipments. If that's the case two major chains that don't take pre-orders are walmart and Fry's electronics. So if you can't get a pre-order you can always wait infront of one of those stores at midnight to get one.

Ebgames is,,,
50$ minimum on hardware
5$ minimum on games

Although when they come out you will likly only be able to buy a package so idk how everything will work with the pre-orders.

Meijer does not take preorders either. They do a midnight drawing (basically everyone who shows up puts their name in a hat and a few lucky ones actually get the thing) to prevent situations where they have gamers in line for hours that day.

I got my Xbox on release day that way, and I plan to do the same for my 360. There's enough places in town that don't preorder so I can just run from one store to the next.

yer just camp out just before launch and buy one, best way or early morning, i've never liked the idea of preorder. Dunno why but I never have.

I think some Best Buys do preorder but not all of them... I remember preordering Halo 2 at Best Buy...

I just returned from the local EB Games and they said they were out of spots on the pre-order. I too pre-order Halo2 from Best Buy, so I am hoping I can get a hold of someone there to see if they are doing the same thing with Xbox 360.

I remember EB started taking pre-orders the day right after the MTV Special, tis when I went and pre-ordered. Just wait at midnight or something at a major store like bestbuy and you should be fine.

Andy51 · « **Reply #10 on:** June 27, 2005, 10:06:00 AM »

Yeah, but I'm not preordering.. as I will never..

Does any one know off the top of their heads if GameCrazy is taking preorders yet. They are the closest video game store to me. I got Halo 2, Doom 3 and GTA SA through them.
