Default Anyone waiting for the xbox360 on launch?

Was wondering if anyone is waiting for the xbox 360 at launch. If that's the case maybe a few of us can get together and do a meet/xbox 360 dealie,

I might wait overnight with one of my co-workers. I currently have 3 separate pre-orders for a 360 in ... and I have no clue when I'll get any of them. If I want to get one before Christmas, I may end up just having to wait on line overnight! ..

There's a $300 version and a $400 version. Not much point in buying the $300 version though ... The $400 version includes a hard drive which enables backwards compatibility and other shit like expansion packs, etc etc and it includes a wireless controller versus a wired one and a free remote control for playing DVDs.

Best Buy in Sterling, VA near Dulles Town Center will be open at 12:01am on November 22nd (the night of the 21st).

Best Buy in Sterling, VA is only one of 12 BB's officially approved by their corporation to open @ Midnight and they are receiving an extra 100 units because of this.

They are scheduled to get 146 Xbox 360 Premium Systems, but supposedly only 100 will be available @ 12:01am and the remaining 46 will be available for purchase when they open at their normal time of 9am (something about being required to have a minimum qty for opening due to advertising).

I think BB in Sterling will probably be a madhouse because a lot of people know they're going to be open at midnight.

Circuitcity.com will be offering pre-orders online of Xbox 360 bundles this Friday @ 2pm.

If you order one and pay for overnight shipping you'll receive it on the 22nd.

i remember when the xbox first came out, i was visiting my GF in farmville, va and stopped by the walmart just to see if they had it. they had about 20 of them. i bought 5 and sold them on ebay for $75 over. nice little pocket change.

Am I the only one here who is content in just waiting another year or two and then buying an Xbox 360 when it's $200 instead of $400?
