We received the official word yesterday...the Magenic "holiday" gift going to all employees this year will be the XBox 360!!  Not sure if we'll be receiving the core or premium package, but they did say we'd be getting a hard drive and additional controller.  Woohoo! 

Of course, the big question is when will we actually receive our shiny new boxes.  In case you haven't noticed, the 360 isn't exactly available through traditional retail channels.  Of course, if you are willing to put out some big bucks, you can find one on Ebay.  On average, they seem to be going for $800 or more!  I personally enjoyed this listing (check out the buy it now price!) 

In the meantime, I'll be keeping my eye on this excellent inventory tracking website to get some idea of when I may expect my 360 to arrive.  What games should I get?
