Here's where one has to understand what or more appropriately where, the console is available today. Excitedly, I trekked to the local Microsoft Store only to be shown an older Xbox 360 by the Microsoft sales rep, who then inquired if I meant the Xbox One. Next, a shrug of the shoulders when I insisted at E3 today, a new Xbox 360 console had been advertised as available today.Ok, next to GameStop. At least the GameStop rep was aware of the console, and was willing to take a pre-order. Ok, if this console is available today, the question is where?
To make a long story short, Microsoftstore.com is where the new Xbox 360 console is available today. Take a look at this screen shot from the web site:
Hopefully this post will help you avoid the time, frustration and expense of searching for the new Xbox 360, I just incurred. Will you be accepting Microsoft's invitation?
