    I'll drop by my local walmart to see if they have it. I'll try not to forget to bring a camera and take pictures.

    Makes sense.
    Both the Xbox and GC were playable in demo stations a few months before their US releases...first Xbox game I ever played was the demo level of Munch's Oddyssee.

    I must wait till Xbox 360 will be shown up in Germany and grab it there, because it won't be available in Poland :(

  10. What the hell? Freaking Minnesota and Indiana have three locations apiece, but nothing in Oregon or California.

    And who designed that map, anyways? Where the hell is Sun Prarie, Wisconsin or DeKalb, Illinois?

    I imagine the centralized locations are due to a single Microsoft representative in those areas...visiting the store...putting it out a little earlier than he should.

    Addison's about 5 minutes from mine! In fact, I drove by twice today. Gonna check this out tomorrow.... Too bad DOA4 isn't playable. =(

    If you're going, it's at the intersection of Lake St. and Rohlwing Rd. Look for a lot with a Denny's, Best Buy, Walmart, Office Depot and Sam's Club.

    I live in Circleville Ohio about 20 miles south of columbus and our new super walmart has had a 360 for 2 days now. Me and my buddy went out and played it yesterday. I expected there to be a line but since we are the only real gamers in this area I think we are the only people who really noticed lol.

    actually I didnt play a game. The demo disk had a bunch of games to choose from like the new need for speed and stuff but all they had was movies you could watch of them. A cool thing was I could see the 360 right in front of me behind the glass and it has a little green ring around the button like the old xbox but a quater of the ring lights up for each player connected. So if you have to people playing the top part of the circle power light would be on but the bottem would be off. And if 4 ppl were playing the whole thing would light up. Plus they have them on the controllers. Little X in the middle with a green ring around (led ring) and the lights work the same, a quater of it lights up for each player hooked in :D Preatty sweet effect if you ask me ^^

    Also someone managed to get pics of the console outside of the box... inc pictures of the new most likely final PSU.
