Xbox 360s available 3.5 days early (Friday, 2pm ET) from Circuit City

Circuit City Xbox 360s go on sale Friday

Whoa whoa whoa, what's going on here? Circuit City's website has
promised that Xbox 360 units will be available at 2pm ET this Friday.
That's a good 3.5 days (82 hours) ahead of schedule.

According to a Circuit City customer service rep we spoke to when we
called 1-800-843-2489, every physical Circuit City location will be
selling the console this Friday at 2pm ET. Just to be sure, we called
again and spoke to a second rep at 1-800-843-2489: "Yes, it will be
available this Friday at 2pm ET online as well as at our stores."

Better call in sick to work on Friday if you intend to snag one,
though, because that line will be forming on Thursday at some
locations. Also, be prepared to shell out more than you may have
budgeted, as Circuit City will only be selling systems bundled with games.

Of course it's entirely possible that Circuit City's web team has just
messed up with their updates of two separate pages (1, 2). We've seen
bigger blunders, so it's not out of the realm of possibility. It's
also possible that Circuit City is just being tricksy with their
marketing and intend to take pre-orders only this Friday. Not cool, if so.

Circuit City’s PR managers have responded to our request for clarification on the confusing language on the Circuit City website. Here’s the real deal:

Circuit City will begin selling a limited supply of Xbox 360 bundles on www.circuitcity.com beginning 2 p.m. Friday, Nov. 18, 2005. These units will ship on 11/21/2005; customers who opt to pay extra for next-day delivery can do so to get their Xbox in their homes on 11/22/2005.
We are not selling them earlier in our stores; I apologize for the misinformation you received from the call center. We will have Xbox 360 units for sale in all Circuit City stores nationwide beginning 10 a.m. local time on 11/22/2005. They are first-come, first-served as we did not allow any preorders.

Yeah and even if they were, they ship out monday, and at earliest arrive at your house on launch day anyway so mods should really lock this thread.
