I went to gamestop and the employee (who I don't think any of these guys really know what is going on) told me that walmarts were only selling Core systems. I called walmart and they said they didn't know. They told me to call back about one and a half weeks before release. Hello, walmart that's only like 3 days away. Idiots. Finally I called two different Bestbuys in my area. First store said they were getting 40 systems (no break down on cores/premiums) and were opening at 8am. The other store was opening at 9am and didn't know how many they were getting. This goes to show that everybodies towns are different even dwon to specific stores. Well I'm waiting in line about 4 hourse early at Walmart for midnight release and if I can't get it there I'm heading straight to bestbuy and will camp out for 8 hours in front of the door. I've already taken off work and skipped school. I WILL HAVE A 360 ON NOV 22

Wow... I hope Wal-Mart has Preimum because if they don't I'm going to have to wait to get mine.

I honestly think they should make EBgames,gamestop,ect be run by computers, now that my friend would actually be a smart move, and the computers could tell us updates on things down to the last thing!

I'd lay you 20-1 odds that the clerk was blowing smoke up your arse. Most (but not all) people who work at an EB or GameStop are retarded chimpanzees. It's hard enough getting an accurate answer about what their own store will have, let alone knowing what a Wal-Mart will get.
Let's just think about this for a second... how did this fool get this info? Obviously he didn't call them, they would have told him what they told you. The internet is a possibility, and we all know how accurate everything on the web is. Maybe his manager told him. Ah, there's a reliable sourse.
Seriously, you should stay away from stores that employ people who say things that retarded. It's a huge red flag. If they're going to lie to you, they might as well mix in some freakin plausibility into their story.
The idea of having computers replace the brain stems these places employ is a pretty good idea.

Ok for the last time. Stop with asking Gamestop if Walmart will have Xbox 360s. That is like asking a bunch of Republicians if There are any Democratic shirts in the world. Walmart will get Premium 360s. look at the website for Walmart. The release is 12 days away not 3. Get the dates straight. Walmart will get it in. If MS did not sell Xbox 360s at Walmart, it would be a big loss for them.
One more note. If you actually believe the Gamestop employess about Walmart getting core systems you better go back to school. Gamestop is the biggest bunch of liars. They don't even know when stuff comes out. How would they know about Walmart anyway. The Guy form Walmart dosen't know anything. The Xbox 360s go to the central base and are shipped out to other stores. That guy must be stupid.
One more thing no disrespect to you, but I am tired of these threads "OMG Walmart will selll cores only!11!" and I hear "Someone from Gamestop told me this" that line right there is BS and that tics me off.

He didnt say that the launch was 3 days away, he said walmart told him to call them back a week and a half before launch which is in 3 days. I think everyone just needs to quit asking Gamestop, EB, and walmart when theyre getting the 360's or how many, there's been like 30 threads started on what the idiots at these stores say and everyone of them says something different. they just want you to think they know what theyre talking about and have the inside word on whats going on. Were never going to get a straight answer, just worry about getting yours on launch and everythings going to be cool, we only have 12 days left. I know its hard to wait but thats all we can do. Atleast you guys will most likely get yours on the 22nd, I ordered mine online so I have to wait until the 23rd. I had to pay 40 bucks for overnight shipping.
