3rd Shipment of Xbox 360 available at Best Buy this Week

Dec 22 2005, 1:39am EST | by Luigi Lugmayr

Best Buy is supposed to get Xbox 360 shipments this week. Some stores already might have got them by now.

Best Buy wants to avoid lines this time around. In an internal memo (which conveniently appeared on a Teamxbox forum) details how the Xbox 360 are supposed to be sold to avoid lines.
The Xbox 360 consoles will not be placed at the sales floor. No signs will be announcing that the Xbox 360 is in stock. You are supposed to be greeted at the door with the question: "What brings you in today?" Right answer is Xbox 360. Then they will tell you that the have inventory.
So good luck. I guess this means you have to go twice a day to your local Best Buy store to check if you get greeted.

Update:
I4U Reader Michael K. emailed us that he has been greeted at the Best Buy at Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh, NC today and he answered correctly. He was given a golden ticket (Xbox 360 Voucher). He says that this Best Buy got more Xbox 360 Premiums in stock today than at the '2nd launch'.Best Buy seems to have the upper hand on obtaining Xbox 360 shipments. Still there are reports about Xbox 360 trickling in at other stores.
Chris Lambert says his Xbox 360 live inventory locator helped 150 visitors to buy a Xbox 360 consoles at Toys R Us, Circuit City, and Amazon in the last week.
