Xbox 360 allocations for Best Buy by store

by Dan Choi on Nov 12th 2005 10:36PM

Wanna know how many Xbox 360s are coming to your local Best Buy? Find your store number(s) off Best Buy's official store locator, then check out the list for the right store for you to camp out next to on the 22nd or 21st.

Of course, knowing how many units have been allotted to the store of your choice doesn't guarantee you a system on launch day, but it is touching to know that being an official launch sponsor does indeed mean more boxes at launch than the other guys (up to possibly a tenth of total U.S. numbers).

So if these figures are correct, Best Buy's getting 40,770 systems in the U.S. total, split exactly 70-30 among Pro and Core systems. And as for those few anomalous stores with at least 100 Pro and 30 Core units? Just those among the 12 Best Buys around the nation slated to open their doors at midnight to sell the 360. #311 up there's in Burbank, Illinois. Good luck, all you early adopters!

"The Bellevue Washington store gets 200 Premium and 66 Core units. That's what living in Bill Gates' neighborhood gets you I guess."

Yeah, I called them... with 14 hours until launch, they already had 60-100 people in line. My local Walmart already has more people than units being sold. Luckily, my local Best Buy only had one guy in line after I called the Bellevue one. The Bellevue store said people have been hanging out there since THURSDAY. But I found out there was a G4 telecast there Thursday night, so that would be why. I'm getting one, hell or highwater. :)
