There is also the fact that the US, Europe and Asia launch are very close together. I think that's a first. But hardware shortages at launch are nothing new.

I can only imagine the type of chick you're going to pick up at a XBox camp out - I'd rather go chick hunting at a Star Trek convention.

how the hell did you manage to get 4? the walmarts i went to, gave out tickets, and you can only purchase 1.

I went to two different walmarts and nothing. I called 5 this morning, and they are all sold out.

so, you want to sell me one?

Yeah, i wonder how he got 4 too. I was gonna get two premiums at Toy's R Us but I was only able to get 1.

It was great though. Pre-paid at 10pm. WENT HOME. Picked up at 8am.
