May have secured an XBOX 360
OK, I know that just a week or so ago I was claiming that I wasn't going to buy a 360 at launch. Well, a week is a mighty long time and now I am in a panic trying to figure out where to buy a non-bundled console.
Fortunately, I think I have found one. It turns out that I know someone who works for a retailer that will be carrying the 360 (but that most people wouldn't think of). So there will be no lining up for the midnight madness nonsense involved. I should be able to get up early on the morning of the 22nd and pick one up (hopefully). They are only going to have 20 units, so I can't really share the location (sorry).
Of course, we are leaving for a Thanksgiving vacation on the 23rd, so I will have to get all of my gaming done before we leave. Bummer.
