360 degrees of waiting
Dec. 9th, 2005 02:41 pmAt work, we have an internal email list for people who like to play Xbox games. I just got this email:
-------------------------
The Mountain View Costco has xbox 360 units right now! They came in about an hr ago.
If Anybody's still missing one (Like I was) -- They have the premium bundle. When I left 15 or so minutes ago they still had about 30 to sell off. Limit 1 per cardholder. You'd probably have to leave right now as lines forming and people were calling other people.
$479.99 -- with tax its about $520 (remember they take cash or amex.. and I think checks) *theres a bank of america on San Antonio or an ATM in store ;)
Comes with extra wireless controller, PGR3, Plug n Charge kit

-------------------------
One mad dash down there (and with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
capricious_k in tow, since she's got a Costco card) I am now the prowd owner of an Xbox 360. I also picked up a copy of Call of Duty 2. Not surprisingly, only an hour after the original email had gone out, they were down to just five units left.
Of course I'm going to Tahoe this evening, and I'll be out on Monday night too, so I won't be able to even plug the thing in until Tuesday night. But it's mine, I tell you, MINE!!
