Important that you all know first that I'm in Canada so I can't order off sites like Amazon or Wal-mart, etc. I've tried big canadian sites like bestbuy.ca and futureshop.ca but they don't have any 360's. Not even the CORES. And I really would prefer to get my brother a premium.

I haven't been having fun playin 360 cuz I've had no RL friends to share the experience with so I'm going to help my brother get an x360 for his birthday (March 17th). However, I can't find one. I know they're on ebay but they all are going for like 500-600$ US. Is that my only option? ANyone know of anywhere else you can get em?

EB is reliable but they don't get much shipments... Future Shop gets them quite frequently so try there again. Get them to phone you. I don't know where else in Canada you could get em. :?

just remember if you dont have a costco membership you have to pay a 5% surcharge but even then its not a huge deal.

and if u buy from futureshop there is a $50 off $500
code.

heres the code.

Lol. My brother can't touch me in console games, neither can most. You just wait til a good FPS comes out, I'd like to play you and maybe tone down your attitude towards "older" players.

HE owns me up at WoW or WC3 though.

GR:AW isn't far away. I'd play you in quake 4 and school you but I doubt you have that game. I don't have PDZ cuz i gave it to a friend or I'd show you how to play that as well.
Battlefield 2 and Far Cry: Instincts predator are just weeks away as well.
