Bah, it's Perfect Dark, it's not gonna be GREAT, and it's not realistic graphicly, they were going for a more cartoony look.

Anyways, I went to get mine this morning, but they sold it AFTER THE STORE CLOSED LAST NIGHT. I waited in line 4 hours this morning, found out I wasn't getting one (I was 4th in line), and waited around to make sure the kid in front of me was able to get one. The first 2 folks in line were trying to buy all 3 of them at once (They were going to buy every single one the store had, and brought enough money for 10 of them). Anyways, the first 2 guys were brothers and their wives showed up at about 6 AM. They said they were holding a spot in line for their wives. Anyways, the store opens, they find out they can only buy one per person waiting in line all night, and when I stood up for the kid in front of me the guy threatened me and did the whole "Let's take it outside" thing.

I'm like WTF?!?!? You realize I'm THE REDZMAN?!?!?!?

LOL

He threatens to do something to my car if I don't go outside, so my wife goes out there to sit on the fender and watch the little b****. He cried and b****ed and then left. What an asshole

The kid's credit card finally worked and he got his 360, so I feel I half won for the day. I'm not depressed, just hope I get one before my birthday in 2 weeks!

Let me guess. YOu have your 360 standing on it's side vertically eh?

Put it down. It's all over the Xbox forums not to stand it up unless you like scratches.

Bring your game over, along with the case for it.

Must have bumped your 360.

I've got a refinisher mang.

Sure you didn't.

I don't have a buffer. I told you, I've got a REFINISHER. How do you think I got Halo 2 working again for me?

Bring it over ass, it'll take 5 minutes.

faith EXACT same thing happened to my friend, a PERFECT circle scratch in the middle of the CD, it goes perfectly around the CD.
Game still runs fine though, so far..
The 360 was standing upright.
Nobody bumped it, but it happened as soon as the game was ejected

One of the best things you can do to prevent this, besides getting one of the 360's later after they fix the issue (LOL), would be to get some of those DVD Skins.
