Woohoo! I actually did get an Xbox 360 yesterday. As I was writing yesterday’s blog article, I revisited many of the links I had for Xbox inventory tracking. Using the “Guide to finding an Xbox 360” I found that our local Best Buy had stock on the premium version.
But…ugh…I had several hours of meetings before lunch when I could get over there. My heart dropped when the person at the front door said that there were no Xbox 360s. But, I found the guy in the know in the gaming department, and he walked me to the storeroom where he handed me a premium.
It was quite easy to hook everything up, sign up for an Xbox Live account, and network it to my Media Center PC. In fact, as I was upstairs just finishing installing the extender on my PC, my 6 year old son figured out how to get his favorite music video started on the Xbox and watched it before I got back downstairs.
