XBOX 360 for the Holidays?
Anxious to pick up an XBOX 360 for your little nephew, who will stop thinking of you as his favorite uncle if you fail to deliver? You've got options. Pay $700 on eBay? Nah, that's for chumps. Wait until February when they release not only more systems, but also maybe some games that might be fun to play? Nah, the fanboy in you can't have THAT noise. The way I see it, you've got two options.
1. It's all about December 18th. I have it on pretty good authority from a Best Buy employee, that they will be receiving a fresh shipment that day. In fact, the December 18th Best Buy advertisement will be featuring the system, so you had better believe that they will have a few in stock. If you live in New York or Los Angeles, you're probably screwed, as word will travel fast and you'll STILL have to get there at 11PM the night before. But New Haven, Minneapolis, or Worcester, you're in good shape.
2. The Target Store Line is its own worst enemy: If you call "guest services," (you can read that as "2000 miles of voicemail") sometime after midnight but before 8 AM, when the stores open, go through the system to inquire about the availability of an item. The machine will ask for some of your personal info (name, address, phone number, email, etc) and then the SKU/Item number you’d like them to do an inventory search for. They will search the inventory database within a certain radius of your home zip code and tell you what stores have the item in their inventory as of the refresh from the prior night. What does this mean to you? You know as soon as all the individual stores do, what's in stock and what's not.
