Mid morning Thursday my roommate called me telling me he’d found an XBox 360 at the Nashua, NH Best Buy. I had said I’d drive him to pick it up somewhere in the metro Boston area, but luckily he found one that was pretty close to work. I took off on my lunch break and grabbed one of the remaining few premium systems they had. New stock had only been delivered that morning and I was there by 1:00.

Last night we played Dead Or Alive 4 and will be getting Full Auto when that comes out. Finding in stock XBox’s requires this cool little toy called the XBOX 360 In-Store Tracker. It’s written in C# and scours the Best Buy and Circuit City websites looking for in stock XBox 360s. Thank god for people with extra time on their hands and some programming skillz.

Update: Having at least one play and charge is key to staying up all night and playing.
