Best Buy to Have Xbox 360 Console Dec 18

A (supposedly) leaked insider document from Best Buy shows they are stockpiling 360 consoles to go on sale on December 18th.
A scanned copy of this document is linked below, and it is not verified, but does seem legit.
Here's the juice:
"Hold All Xbox 360s for Dec. 18 Ad
The next Xbox 360 shipment arrives in stores between Dec. 11 and 16. All units need to be held for Sun., Dec. 18."
Best Buy stores are also told not to take pre-orders, force bundle purchases, create waiting lists or hold the product for customers or employees.
They are also instructed to not hold a midnight or early opening.
There you have it! Those of you who haven't yet snagged a 360, here's your chance. Be at Best Buy early for their store opening on Dec. 18.

Hi ive heard about this sunday shipment thing. My brother works at best buy and he says that they are making agreements with microsoft. He says that the xbox360s coming sunday is just a rumor. However if i does come…. best buy will be selling consoles that were meant to be saved for people that pre ordered and people that bought broken ones… however if they have more than they need and new shipments come… they will only sell the core system becuase its said that they dont have as many problems. Im not just saying this my brother seriously works there and highley doubts shipments sunday so dont get ur hopes up

That’s funny because the two Best Buy stores in my area don’t take pre-orders.

yeah, all best buys were instucted to not take any pre-orders under any circumstances. i know the one in my college town never did.

I mean the people that pre ordered for the realease date. My mistake. Nobody got their pre order xboxs so almost all of them are going to the people that pre ordered
