No they will be out for awhile, at least in my area. I talked to people in Gamestop and EB, both said they are so backed up on reserves they won't fill them all until Feb. I'm pist I didn't get one, but I'm not about to pay triple the retail for it. I did get 4 Perfect Dark Zero's lol, too bad I have nothing to play them on.

Lots of 0 and low feedback winners on the $1000+ auctions. Going to be interesting to see how many have to get relisted and possibly miss out on the frenzy because of jackass bidders.
Yesterday they where solidly going for $650-700, but maybe that's just because it hadn't hit the news yet and now parents are starting to sweat about getting it for xmas.

You Americans are 
You always camp out or way overpay for "crazy" stuff such as this, when in a couple of weeks it would become widely available and abundant. Crazies are paying a few thousand $$ for something that would be a couple hundred bucks a couple weeks from now.

I think it's awesome that people are capitalizing on other's impatience and selling these things at a 200% markup.

Lord knows most Asians are too cheap to overpay that much and wouldn't bother to wait in the cold either.

When I said "Americans", I really meant white people. Lord knows most Asians are too cheap to overpay that much and wouldn't bother to wait in the cold either.
