im happy for you all that are getting an xbox1 on launch must be really exciting

A guy ran up to our line and offered $50 in cash and a brand new (regular edition) Xbox One. Nobody bit. I thought it would be like the airlines and he would keep going up. But nope, he walked away.

Then we all got to talking about how that actually wasn't such a good idea. With the bonuses in the Day One edition.

There were two lines, the reserved and pre paid line I was in, then the hopeful new line for people wanting to buy that night. Some people came up just before midnight and they told them they were sold out. The non reserved line was a block or two long, guess they had figure they were going to sell them out, as I asked if they had a few extra for retail when I paid for mine and they said they did.

so that had a 6 foot high pallet or two of them (that I could see). How many Xbox Ones do you think that is?  (I guess 200-300 or so.)

I also had 2 pallets at my local store...

Xbox One shipped a lot more than some were predicting.

Have 2 Day One editions!

I'm pretty sure EB sold out completely. JB HiFi, an Australian retailer, had 5 standard editions only the day after. It will vary store to store.

Wow, I can't imagine stock being left over in those amounts. I suppose Australia got alot less though.

You should have tried Killer Instinct while you were there!!

Back and forth for over a week now and I still haven't landed a console yet. but what I did manage to get is an extra controller. just gives me something to do before the console gets here.........they promised me friday....
