I went by my local Target yesterday during lunch, and they had a few premium X360s and a few core X360s. Is the drought coming to an end, or was it just a lucky sighting?
Cheers,
Ben

Best Buy and CompUSA still don't have them, last time I was there. But Circuit City, Target, and Wal-Mart did.
Target had 2 cores. Wally world had 3 cores and 2 premiums (but I doubt anyone who lives near that wal-mart could afford one). CC only had 1 core.
CompUSA (the one by me) looks like they had quit selling xbox stuff, altogether. They had nothing. Not even for the regular Xbox. No perepherials, no games... Nothing. Just an empty display.

Yeah, the drought is coming to an end.
Two weeks ago i saw a core at a K mart, and EB said they got in two cores, though i didn't see the 360s.

The drought for cores was never even there. The drought for premiums in this region ended a while ago. I sold like ten to walk-ins over the past week. Most Gamestops have the majority of their reserves sold and are getting regular shipments in.

Over the weekend, I saw a total of 1 premium and 2 core systems in 2 different stores. That's exactly 3 more 360s than I've seen at any point since the system launched -- which means that the drought (at least in my area) is probably starting to come to an end.

Yeah, looks like the drought is coming to an end. I saw 2 premiums at Target today. First time I've ever seen one sitting on a store shelf.

I usually see 3-4 premiums and at least 1 core system every other week at Target.

They've overcome the intial problems, plus they've added another manufacturer. So yes, the drought is over.

I didn't even realise there was a drought.
We've had loads of 360s around here, for quite awhile now. At Christmas, and just after they were nowhere to be seen, but all the local retailers have had plenty of them.
I just don't have the cash :(
