I was guaranteed console release date at GS for each one I purchased. Had to put 100 down on each, but that wasn't an issue for me.
You know they will be, last gen there were 360's selling for 2-4 thousand on eBay.........and actually selling. No way would I pay that much for something I could wait another month or so for at regular price, but there're many idiots out there with mommy and daddy's credit cards.
