I got my Xbox 360! Haha, that’s a funny joke.

No, boys and girls, I have no Xbox 360 yet. There are a lot of people who can make this funny joke with me. Go ahead, try it out on your friends.

Remember that Microsoft said there would be Xbox 360 units on retail shelves this past weekend? Did you see any? There are reports that a few Target stores were able to sell between 6 and 12 units. For people who randomly lined up at whatever random Targets got random supplies of random Xbox 360s.

The Xbox 360 is not readily available to the general public. It is available to people who camp out and people who have preorders. I do not consider the Xbox 360 to be on the shelf until you can walk into Target and find one at any time. Is this a terrible definition?

On to the rumors. The rumor that Best Buy is holding units until December 18th seems more accurate every day. I don’t think they’ll crack and sell units early. If December 18th is indeed their plan, it seems like a safe bet that it won’t change. You might want to make plans accordingly.

A few reports have come in saying that GameStops should get a decent sized shipment on December 13th. I doubt this will be enough to get past their many preorders, but it should make a few people with reservations happy. Including me. Fingers crossed.

14 days of finger crossing has left my bones sore and angry. I have angry bones. Thank you, Microsoft. Maybe you can give me a coupon for some milk.
