The # of Xbox360s your Best Buy will get. Read the list

[Anthony1]

So what time does Best Buy open?



I wouldn't mind going to a Best Buy that's getting like 100 of them, chances are, there won't be that many people there in the morning. Maybe 89 die hards, but probably not a 100. I need to check the list and see which store has the highest number in my area.



I don't mind waiting in line to snag one, but I'm not going to be waiting hours for one. I would like to try to show up fashionably late, but still being able to snag one. Only thing is, I gotta worry about the damn core system.

I was going to say, KMart is a good place to hit up.

Other places you may want to try:
Sams Club
Cosco
BJ's
Strawberries
Toys R Us
K Bee Toys
Circuit City

Does Office Depo sell consoles and console games? I've seen PC games in there....

Good call on costco and sams club, shouldn't be difficult to get one there. Most people I've talked to hate buying any system there because there always bundled. Best Buy's going to bundle the living !@#$ out of these systems anyways, so who cares. The BB I work at has put out a gameplan notice to presell the bundles to the line before the store opens.

Actually, Best Buy is where I bought my PSP at. It was only a few days after the launch and every other place I checked (Wal-Mart, EB, GameStop, etc.) was sold out of them. But when I walked into my Warwick RI BB, they had a table right at front with all of the systems, games, and accesories, and two people there, showing off the unit, letting you play it, answering questions, etc.

They were good sellers, also. Not pushy, they knew what they were talking about, allowed you to spend time with the system and any game you wanted to try with for a few minutes, and gave cupons to take discounts off it at the register. Plus the extended warrenty from them, which I was THRILLED to have a few months later when I accidently broke the on/off switch on my unit somehow.

I imagined BB would be doing a similar thing with the XBox 360. If they don't push too hard, and allow people to play the system and games, they should go like hotcakes.

I just checked the stores in Sac Town. The one closest to me is getting 62 total. 48 premiums and 14 cores. The next closest store is getting 54. 40 premiums and 14 cores. And then one other one is getting 48. 36 premiums and 12 cores.


Bottom line, I'm not going to Best Buy, cause there is easily going to be enough people waiting in line way too early for me.


Man, this one Best Buy was getting like 260 360's, I was totally amazed by that. I wonder what Best Buy that was.

The closest Best Buy to me which is about 5 miles away is getting 110. That might be enough. If not, There is one a few minutes from my work that is getting in 100. And if that is not enough, there is one about 30 minutes away that is getting 234.
I think my chances are pretty good

Wow, I just discovered that there are two bestbuys in the appleton area. Better news for me then.
