According to Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com/entry/1234000633065518/), a certain Gamestop has already received an initial shipment of XBox 360 systems. Unfortunately, we'll still have to wait a month to get our grubby little paws on them, friggin street dates.

Can you say display boxes?

Lets get this confirmed and then we can go A-Team on the store. Lets get a van and spray it black,put the EvAv logo on it and rumble through the store front and get us some 360 fun.

No pink balaclavas guys :D

Morratut,

When you go A-Team on a store your going to blow everything up. At least you won't kill anyone.

In similar news, a Gamestop employee, Mark Knoble, was quoted as saying, "I am amazed by the weight-saving technologies applied to Microsoft's latest console, the XBox 360. They must have taken a page out of Apple's book for the iPod, because I picked up a carton of at least 16 XBox 360s, and the entire package weighed about 4 pounds!"

And if you manage to get trapped the store will conveniently have a blowtorch handy for you to build something

Don't forget, we need some contrived reason to change the plan at the last second and require a helicopter evacuation by crazy Murdock, so that we can slip a mickey in B.A.'s milk. Cuz you know he ain't gettin' on no choppa.

Apart from the tires on the enemy vehicles, causing them to spectacularly flip over.

You know, it's funny, I totally used to watch A-Team as a kid, but I remember SO little about it.

Damn i didn't think of that. I don't want to be coming away from our little trip all dressed in black (apart from fitbabits) with just a smouldering ring of light.

I work at Best Buy, and yes, we have 50 of them in the back. We can't sell them until the street date.

Who would want to buy display boxes?

why is it so hard to believe? if you work at a gstop or eb and know they're display boxes, then that's all fine and dandy. but ms always ships there stuff early. when the xbox first came out they shipped the systems weeks ahead of time, and the games even earlier. halo 2 was in stores well before the release, and i think midtown madness was in the back of stores for over a month before you could sell it. i don't think anybody would have noticed if that one came out early or never came out at all, though.
