Ok i just got of from work, stop at a place down here in texas called gamecrazy. I went to pre-order my 360. I asked the manager, when is the system is coming out. He told me he talked to his district manager this morning. He was informed that its gonna release on nov.16 or 17. And the launch system will be sold, as bundles for $500. It will come with a extra controller, extended memory port , and two games of your choice. Now you dont have to believe me, but i really have no reason to lie.

hmm, I dont have a single Gamecrazy around here at last check(Must be uber rare as I have a ton of EB/Gamestops within a 30 mile radius) so I think EB/Gamestop will get my business

They require bundles for consoles launches as well... And the games are pre-selected, not your choice...

Well, online that's how it works..

In-Stores, EB/Gamestop just says put down $50 and be guaranteed the Xbox 360. Didnt mention anything abuot a bundle

I like bundles. Makes it easier to snag a game of your choice... And you're gonna eventually need an extra controller and memory card anyways.
