Whoever told you that is very mistaken. The Elites are limited right now, but MS has already confirmed that they are ramping up production on them & they will be readily available come this holiday season. So no worries, you'll be able to find one then. Good luck!

Another example of someone afraid to say, "I dont know". He just makes something that sounds right in his head up and hopes you believe it.

More of the Elites will become available before Christmas.

They are there to combat a possible PS3 price drop.

Sounds like he was messing with you. Back when I used to work retail and younger I never really cared because you never get in trouble. An example would be taking a call and just making stuff up or putting people on hold and then hanging up. Somebody asking you a question and saying "Let me check it out for you" then going to lunch.

Well i live in Red Deer. i went to EB games and Best Buy there. they said they still make them but they sold out very fast. The stores do not know when the Shipment comes as toldby the manager. The People that ship them do not tell when they will be getting them. They dont want another "Riot for a new Xbox" so they keep it a secret so there is no Peeved off costumers and Angry Children.

Retail blows. But my guess is that you were probably the 50th person to call in and ask.

I work at a Best Buy here in Toronto and we only got a shipment of 30 units on the elite launch. We have never recieved a shipment after that for some reason. No body that works at our store knows whats going on with the elites either lol.

I seriously think no one even cares about the Xbox 360 Elite.

I came in today at 8:30 and there were 6. I left the store at 4:30 and there were still 6.

People are not steadily buying 360s. However people are steadily returning them. ;)

I've never seen a console with so many ****ing problems. Inventory devos out 3 or more every week!! No joke.

I had a guy call into Customer Service today and was pissed because he had bought a 360 and a week later and then it broke. So we exchanged it today and he got home and he said it turned on for 2 seconds then turned off and wouldn't turn back on.

I hope to God Microsoft NEVER gets with IBM and makes a computer. They seriously need to fix this problem. It is seriously out of control.

I work at Best Buy in orlando, FL

Employees of Best Buy would never yell at you like that. However that is correct. The Elite is a limited time only deal. ;)

ALSO ACORDING TO THE WEEKLY AD WE HAVE THEM THIS WEEK.... OMG!!!! WOW.....

In fact my store has 6 left.

Shows how much you know. :P

Well, I can't say whether you work at Best Buy or not but i can say you don't know what your talking about because the Elites are not a limited time only deal, but it does have limited quantities until the holidays though.

I admit that I do not have evidence to support the idea that the elite is a limited edition console, other than the info I read on Xbox-Scene by the guy from Microsoft whol leaked the Elite early this year.

There was talk about a white version of the Elite taking its place in the future. Have no idea if thats true or not.

Sorry if I came off the wrong way or came off as lying. It is not my intention whatsoever.

I called around and and best buy said they had a lot and so did wall mart, target said they had a few and when I called circuit city they said they weren't allowed to sell them anymore?!? I ended up getting it from sam's club and got a bundle so I saved $50:D
