I guess I'll have to go pick one up.Although I might have to wait because I didn't pre-order it.

Just get in the crowd and use a stun gun, when the person buckles, grab the box, and yell "Epilepsy!" Is there a DR in the house?"

Walk away man, walk away

I was contemplating riding by future shop with my bike and pulling a hit and run with some water balloons. Drive by bombing they drop the box I pick up and go with it and don't look back. Sadly that could be the most half baked useless plan I have ever come up with. Sadly its the only way I will be getting one right now.

We've seen the 360 system at countless press conferences and numerous hands-on events, but it's still an incredibly gratifying experience to actually get a system into our offices for some quality testing without having to worry about a PR representative watching our every move.

The $399 Xbox 360 system comes with chrome trim, and a super-sized power brick.

The Xbox 360 system has a clean face, and all the front elements incorporate curved edges and rounded buttons to fit in with the console's modern design. Looking at our system, we immediately noticed that the DVD media tray and eject button feature chrome highlights. In comparison, the media tray on the Core system only has a plain plastic exterior that matches the rest of the case--yet another reason to choose the full Xbox 360 system over the Core model.

I've read that the original xbox was out about 6 months before the mod chip was released. Some info i've seen suggests that the 360's mod chip will be released quicker than 6 months because of smartxxx aquiring the developer kit months ago.

The xbox 360 was build with anti-piracy as their 1st thought....and the ONLY reason it has been released so soon in my opinion (because of the xbox's piracy problems).

Ne007 your right the xbox mod chip took about 6 months before it got released. As for this one getting moded we have to wait and see. Seems like they built it so its hard to crack into the case. What I can see being released is a special case for moded xbox 360's.
