Please let me know if you manage to get one from Asda - I'd pre-ordered mine online with Asda on the 7th October - and they've now said they can't fulfil their pre-orders in time for xmas because Microsoft have let them down - so I'd be interested to see if they manage to get some for their stores.

Asda in livingston have told me they have 14 but theres already more than 14 folk Q'ing up for the 6 o'clock opening time so they do have them instore but I'm not going down anymore just thought i'd let you know

Hi folks,
I got up early today and walked into the city centre (CHESTER) for around half eight this morning. I tried the following stores in my recon: WHSmith, Woolies, Dixons and Virgin Mega - all sold to pre-orders. Then as it was next to dixons I saw GAME opening up and I was the first one in and I managed to get a CORE system for 210quid plus PGR3 for 45quid. So the 700quid packages rumoured on these forums were not true!!! I doubt they will have any left now.
While I was hunting for a 20GBHDD for the 360 2 lads came up and offered me 350 quid for the box I was carrying!!!
I must admit I was tempted but I was uncomfortable doing a cash deal on the street - reliability of notes etc!

On a more positive note the chaps in Virgin Mega. said that they will get another shipment on the 9th so I assume its worth getting up early and trying again next Friday. (having said that the store only received 7 systems!).

So its true that the early bird does get the worm!!!

The above info. applies really to Chester only though I'm sure the situation is similar around the UK.
