I have seen the top of the mountain, and it is good.
My XBOX 360 shipped this afternoon. I should have it in my hands by Monday or Tuesday.
Thanks to Colin for getting me in on a few that were in stock at an online retailer. They sold out within 22 minutes, and I had my doubts on whether they would even fulfill my order. But they did, and I got shipping confirmation.
I got the Core System, which means no hard drive. I did get a bundle, but it wasn’t a useless one. Extra controller, 64-meg memory card, Project Gotham Racing 3. I’ll buy the hard drive at some point. Not bad.
Interesting. Caesar over at Ars has a real 360 on pre-order, and apparently was offered a core system early. He turned it down, as did the dozen or so people in front of him on the waiting list the guy from the store called before calling him.
And who hooked you up with the hard to find hdd?
