Ooh, my Nephews are after a 360 for Christmas. Looks like I may be buying it sooner rather than later.

I am thinking this.... but at the same time, what is the response of other retailers going to be?

Glad I sold mine a month back :)

(I set a rule on when I'd get a Wii, and I haven't achieved that goal yet, so no Wii).
