It’s time for an Xbox 360 update. It looks like stock is about to re-hit shelves at stores near you in big numbers. A leaked Best Buy/Xbox 360 distribution list appeared on Kotaku.com today. It shows all the number of units that will make it to exactly which BB stores apparently sometime before Christmas. Now, that’s a wide period of time I know. But some were speculating they’d be on the shelves on the 18th, I don’t understand why it would be a Sunday but there you have it, yet another rumor. Use this handy dandy Xbox 360 locator if you’re interested in tracking 360 sightings in real time on the web.
Kotaku’s list is limited to US stores only but Canadian 360 hounds shouldn’t fret. I got some inside information from a local Future Shop (intimidation is a wonderful thing) location that they’ll be restocking units at various stores with up to 50 units this Friday. Yes, that’s exactly Dec. 16th Friday morning get to your local Future Shop location. Apparently one store got twenty something units last Monday and they sold out with two hours of the shop’s opening.
If you’re only in it for the hacks, there is some worthwhile news being reported on the BBC that the 360’s copy protections is being successfully cracked already. It won’t be long before your hacked Xbox 360s are making their way around town.
