According to this
site[=http//xbox.clambert.org/]site, bestbuys are getting a huge shipment on December 18th. You can enter your zip code and find out how many will be near you. It looks like you may have to camp out if you want one, but maybe you'll get lucky and just be able to walk in the next morning and get one. Good luck! D

I might try this out, hopefully there arent too many nerds around here that will camp out. Even tho when Halo 2 launched there were at least 50 people outside EB.

I might have to go get one. I'm sick of waiting for freepay. But then to keep it or ebay it?
There are about 15 BB's within 15 miles of me with between 24-50 360's each for that day. It's good to live in the city with Best Buy Corporate.

Hard to tell, but they'll probably be worth a lot on e-bay by then.

I'm guessing since the eBay price dropped so much, after this shipment it will be down even more.

Well I have had my $500 bestbuy gift card from trainn since before the first shipment I just never tried to get the xbox. I guess I will try this shipment. The xbox isn't awesome but it is good. PS3 will still kill it, but why wait 6 months or more for more games.

how do we know the site isnt a scam? they could be pulling numbers out of anywhere so they can boost their hits.. can anyone confirm the best buy thing they are doing?

well its been rumored that BB was getting more the 16th, selling them on the 18th... so im sure they have some kind of insider info.
Daggoth
10-12-2005 14:06:35
I wonder if Trainn are receiving any extra XBOXs.

Do you guys think that to get one you must wait before the store opens again?

depends how many they get, not as many people are going to know they are getting them in stock as the launch, so numbers wont be as high, but tehre will still be a lot of dedicated people camping out for it to make sure

They were the same people who provided info for how any many 360s Bestbuys would be getting on launch day (Nov 22). I'm pretty sure they have accurate insider information.

they were pretty close to the amount the best buys around here received. they were only 2 off.

ill take your word for it then.. it sucks though.. i compared the number of 360s to me in ohio to best buys around cali.. and cali gets an average of 2x as much.. 60-70 in most stores in cali around LA and in the 30s for my area.. 44 is the most around me.. they get the nice weather and 360s! evil

Im hoping that Trainn will have a representative camp out at every store and buy them all out.

you gotta admit that would be sweeeeeeeeet for the people who ordered an XBOX on Trainn.

This has been confirmed at 2 local Best Buys and my local best buy manager. I was holding on to 4 core systems to sell right before X-Mas BUT I just tossed them on ebay with BIN of $550 (they are selling for about $600 right now). Im going to use the money to buy premiums and sell them instead.
so far in the first hour -- 1 gone and I just got an email from som1 wanting the last 3 -- we will see what happends.
I will be again camping out and paying people to stand on line for me. I need to get my hands on 5 premiums.

I really hope this gets no advertising what-so-ever, because I'm thinking about heading out to BB and trying to pick one up and then directly turning it for profit. <3 profit.

So if I'm number 16 on the preorder list and its says there are 26 at the best buy near me, will I get one or do i need to try and get to the store real early?

What preorder list?

My best buy had it so you could preorder the 360 and I am now 16 on the list.

Then i would go in and talk to a manager now, and tell him you know they are getting 360's in, and you should have one put aside. Seems pretty gay of them to give away ones to people while people who pre-ordered are waiting.
