OT: Ordered my XBox 360

Best Buy announced an XBox 360 pre-order starting today at 10:00 CT (11 EST) After about 1/2 hour of mashing the submit key, it finally took my order, and I've got a 360 on the way next week. Yay!

At $500 for the bundle (XBox 360, a second wireless controller, and Madden 2006) it's the most expensive system I've gotten so far, and that's the cheapest I've seen it. Why is it so hard to pre-order the main system without a game I don't want...? Even without any 360 games, it's still a pretty loaded package, and should be quite usable on launch day with XBox games, media, DVD Player and a media center extender...

Hopefully, I'll be able to swap out Madden for something else, but at any rate, it's on it's way...

(The pre-order lasted less than 2 hours from what I can tell...)

Note: The pre-order was for "Reward Zone memebers" only. Not sure what that means as far as who got the email, but I got it, and ordered it. <grin>

I'm a reward zone member! I spend far too much $$$ at BB every year to not be a member
