I want one, but not for over 600! Might as well get one from ebay for like 350.

So i think I'm getting somewhere. I might be able to get some kind of delivery times from them if its UPS or like, FedEx.

Does anyone know which delivery company Target has?

you do realize that it comes with 8 games that you can take back to the store so you are only paying 250 for the system.

You're right. Good idea. Only for me it's impractical. I don't live even remotely by any walmarts... So at least for me, it's out of the question.

I called the walmart 1800 number and spoke to a customer service lady who confirmed that I could indeed return the games back to the store. I actually spoke to two different ladies today who both told me I could return the games.

Just got back home and dropped by a few targets and a toys r us. One guy at Target told me to check back tomorrow and the toys r us guy said they might have them on Sunday and to drop by then(his demeanor and what he wore suggests he was above a line-level holiday temp employee, maybe a senior or lead).

EDIT: Almost forgot, this is for the so cal area.

That said i won't have it til sunday when it can be dropped off where i go to college, none the less

So...excluding running around and checking stores every day, would one say that my best bet is to pick a store (probably Best Buy or Wal-Mart from what I'm hearing) that seems to be selling on sunday, 12/3, and get up at like 4am and wait there?

If not, what would your advice be, and if yes, which store?

cheers

i just got done calling around 10 places...most stores dont even botherd to tell me anything about the next shipment. the ones that did, however, stated that its most likely gonna be around "late this week / early next week"...so this basically means that its either gonna be sunday camping (i dont really wanna camp all night tho to be honest) or luck on fri/sat morning...

plus: i believe some stores are holding back for dec 6th. i dont get why tho. its not really like they dont sell without any special ads or anything.

so basically we should all start looking 1st-6th of dec. well at least that's not a really braod amount of time... >.> this whole things sucks. is it a marketing scheme or something? Because I would just produce a bunch... enough, even.. cause I would think they would sell - and sell more, at that!
