You'll only find them in bundles. Gamestop is about to come out with some new bundles, walmart and amazon/toysrus also often have bundles in stock. Check techbargains.com daily to get an update on who has them. If you only want the xbox then you either have to wait a bit longer or figure out when your local stores are getting them in.

its not the retailers either, the fake shortage is over and now its because one of the chip companies sucks and is slow

no i think hes saying that the chip companies are just slow in making chips for the xbox...
and to answer your confusion from earlier....the retailers were holding back xbox's and letting employees and their family members get first dibs on the things....this left basically none for the regular customers....

you'd think during the fake shortage they would have better prepared for an actuall release

Don't look at Target for a 360...we still get them in but they're gone within hours. Microsoft gave them to the stores based on the their success with the Xbox the year they originally came out so since my store is new, and we've been out a year, we have no written records nor could we since we didn't exist. They gave them to the stores who sold the most Xbox's ect. in previous years...at Walmart you can drop $517 for a bundle. It might be worth it.

One thing is weird though when it says below the bundle description

liliItems might arrive in different boxes and at different times.


Whatever, pick your poison. Wait weeks to purchase a crappy core or spend the money to buy a good system with add-ons.

it's not some conspiracy, corporations like bestBuy were busting employees for doing this; for real, there was a chip deficiency caused by a company called Infineon. I walked right into bestbuy and bought 4 thanks to google alerts and it talking about a silent shipment

EDIT It lets you order them but it says they have zero in stock.

Here is a site with a premium bundle for $270, I'm not sure if they are legit though.

lol, if they made the xbox priced at 400.00 and put in stock they would be more likely to have takers. what an obvious scam though.
