I surely wish that this could of happened sooner, but did not want to make promises I can't keep. I live in Brunswick in Ga, which is right on the eastcoast, about midway between Savannah Ga. and Jacksonville Fl.
Zip is 31523

I just purchased an X-BOX 360 from my local specialty game retailer. I paid 399.99 for it plus Ga. state tax, for a total of 423.99. That is my FM price to good polkies. I would like to give Priority to club members with children, we were told it could be as long as February before stores were "fully" stocked with these although there will likely be a trickle supply. I will include priority shipping/registered insured through the USPS as a Chirstmas Bonus to you. If you are close enough and want to come pick it up that is fine.

The unit has not been removed from the box and the original receipt is included. NO DIBS

X-BOX IS SOLD

RT1

Merry Chistmas to all.

    very nice of you, RT! thanks for your kindness. Have a great Christmas!
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    Based upon the time board/pm notification was sent to me stating that the member would buy the XBOX 360 unit the order is:

    Mantis
    HydroBud
    Rnp614

    My only regret is that the store did not have three of them ( I was amazed my children even found two of them of course they are keeping one). Alas, if I was truly Santa I could make it happen but I am just a helper.

    Everyone have a Merry Chistmas.

    Evidently, Santa has elves even in Coastal Ga. Of course he is the BIGGEST elf you would ever want to see. MERRY CHRISTMAS TED!

    Well, Mantis had to drop out.

    So, PM, sent to Hydrobud as he was next up. Santa works in strange ways.

    I don't blame him, I've been hooked on Call of Duty 2. Nothing like playing a HD game on a 53" HD screen. Nauseating, literally!

    Haha yeah I'm at home right now in Nebraska, and I've been calling/visiting the local target, kmart, and wal-mart non-stop to no success (no Best Buys in this town or I'd have thought about camping out)!!


    I've been dying to check out PGR3 and Madden. Being a car freak and a sports fanatic its been tough waiting :D:p .

    Starchaser/RT1jr,

    You have many other things you need for your rig besides an xbox!!!

    Starchaser is in fact my brother, and very new to audio, please give him a good newbie welcome. Hopefully, he wont get burned in newbie flame!!! :)

    At this point HydroBud has told me he wants the XBOX 360.

    I will keep an eye for you RNP, I guess this little boutique store gets as many as the big boys, but no one except their regulars look there as they dont do internet etc. As Tour says, wants it is not buying, but Hydro did say he will take it and seemed quite sincere.

    Yep, Tour my little bro, he is just getting going and has put together a nice little starter rig with Fry's specials, I am sure their will be bigger and better things in his future. Right now he is getting his read on along with a couple tips from big bro, feel free to help him along his path. And feel free to swing by South Georgia on your next trip. Always have room in the shed.

    Just a note to say the X-BOX 360 is sold.

    Thank you to everyone for the kind words. I have reaped many benefits from the FM and the Club. Just paying it forward a bit.
