Does anyone know if there are any places still offering preorders for the first batch of XBOX 360s in London?

All the websites are saying "can't guarantee" now.

I forgot to order mine

And they come out on 2/12, which is the day before my birthday.

At this rate I might actually have to go OUT or something.

Your best bet is to find out which stores are going to have stock for people turning up to the midnight openenings, and go and join the queue.

Remember to get there early!

Great way to see in my birthday though.

Especailly after the stick I gave my sister for doing the same with Harry Potter

Have you tried the less obvious shops like Woolworths, WH Smith, Tesco, all those ones? No idea if they do preorders but most gamers will have ordered from Gamestation and the like

Just seen the X05 video footage, and to be honest i'm starting to think maybe i shouldn't of bothered pre-ordering at all.

im not joking, xbox quality graphics at 30fps - just stick with the xbox until second gen games come out

I was told that game specialist shops got priority over normal shops like tesco's (unlike now, where the big shops have priority). So id recon that a gameshop is your best chance. Or else, import em from somewhere in europe.

Hmmm ok thanks all

I ordered one from Comet and one from Dixons...

The dixons one didn't go through this afternoon due to "high demand" but went through just now...

If I end up with two suppose i'll just ebay one. Either that or someone gets an xbox 360 for xmas, and everybody else gets nothing...
