Wasn't Xbox 360 released on November 22?

Yep.  I know because I bought mine exactly 1 month later.  One long month of false leads and disappointments.  Never had that hard of time finding a product I wanted to buy, good grief ...

exactly the same for me.. and I ended up getting one for the normal rrp on ebay in the end.. i bluffed the seller.

Really?  That's cool.

I hit up a ton of stores following online leads early in the morning, on lunch breaks and evenings.  Finally I got a call from my boss at time on morning and she said she got a call from her boss in another city that Best Buy got a shipment and he got one and I could come in late if I wanted to go get it.  I threw clothes on and rushed out to the closest one to find 2 ladies waiting near the games.  Turns out they passed out tickets for the exact number and all of the tickets were out.  But 3 weren't claimed yet and they had until a certain time to claim them.  So I hung around for 45 minutes not knowing if I would get that 3rd one or not ..... but I did.  : D
