XBox 360 has record Black Friday. Where you one of the 1.7M that bought in November?

The Xbox 360 was the top selling piece of gear for the month and NPD notes that the "gap between 360 sales and sales of the next best selling platform was the largest we've seen since December 2008 when the Nintendo DS was the top selling system." Microsoft Chief of Interactive Entertainment Aaron Greenberg later added via Twitter that the Xbox 360 sold 1.7 million consoles during the month of November, up 23% year over year. For the month, Nintendo announced it sold more than 860,000 Wii systems, more than 795,000 Nintendo 3DS systems and more than 350,000 Nintendo DS systems.

I'm not suprised.  I saw a few stores with the 4GB console AND a Kinect for $199.  A lot of stores were giving $50 gift cards with purchases too.

Yeah, the prices on XBoxes were so low that I sort of considered getting one. Then I remembered how there aren't enough years left in my life to finish all the PS3 and Wii games I already have. . .

I had picked up MW3 when it launched. Sat on it for a week or so...when I opened it up to throw in, found out my XBOX was dead.
So, yes...I was a buyer on Black Friday.
I got in on the 250gb Kinect + 2 games bundle at Buy.com for $260. Got it on Tuesday after Thanksgiving...sweet deal.

I just hope that nobody tells my son there's a Kinect Star Wars game.

The Star Wars game won't be out until April, I believe. Unfortunately, it looks pretty bad.
