XBox 360 Launch Week 2: Nerds Held Hostage

| | Comments (0)

I've been scouring message boards for a week since the XBox 360 launch, looking for evidence of a second shipment. Lots of people said that today (Tuesday) would see a second shipment of 360s arriving in stores. I found one such case on IGN 360 boards: this fellow walked into a Target in Minnesota as the clerk was restocking the shelves. Lucky bastard picked one up; I think I would have bought two. Other nerds are stalking Best Buy stores with such frequency that they may have to file restraining orders. J.C. Penney might have tried to sell the XBox 360 premium for $800, although it has been removed and looks bogus to me. One fellow said he ordered the XBox 360 from Sears.com on Thanksgiving Day and he has received it already.

I had a big dilemna this morning: go to work or check out Target? In the end, work won, I need a paycheck for the 360 and the plasma TV. Let me know if you find evidence of second shipments. Nuff said.
