These kind of things are shipped to the warehouses at least 3 months before release, then shipped to stores about a month before. Unless there are instructions to keep them in the back, and if there's a spot on the floorplan (plan-o-gram) for them, they will go out.

You can also try some social engineering, ask a random $6/hour non-fanboy to check the stock on XYZ item. If there are none put out, and it says there are 100 in stock, ask him to grab one for you.

I've had prerelease games sold to me days early this way.]]>Aug 19th 2006 8:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/]]>Aug 19th 2006 9:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/Aug 19th 2006 9:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/

I'd sure hope it's better seeing as how it is actually new and the EyeToy is... well... old. >.>

The EyeToy did have a built-in microphone though, so that's one 1up for it.]]>Aug 19th 2006 10:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/
True, but then again it could never face map onto an FPS, nor could you use it for streaming webcam or gamerpic options. It owns the Eyetoy.]]>Aug 19th 2006 11:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/
You can conduct a video chat with friends - with or without them having a camera. The Vision software won't let you have a video chat while in a game - it just takes over the Dashboard app. Everyone I've tested with were quite impressed with the video quality - even while I was connect via WiFI. When using it with Uno, most folks thought it was a new gamertag until I started to move, then they were shocked and wondered how I got the camera early. Next week Texas Hold'em will be out and it supports the camera. ]]>Aug 19th 2006 11:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/Aug 19th 2006 11:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/let you know by tomorrow]]>Aug 19th 2006 11:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/
I know, I was just saying one thing that it doesn't have the the EyeToy did. In all reality, you could use the EyeToy as a fully functional webcam though. My boyfriend has it for his and it works really really well.

I wasn't trying to wail on the Live Vision at all, like I said, it should be doing things better than that old EyeToy. :D]]>Aug 20th 2006 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/http://www.gamespot.com/pages/profile/index.php?user=Jeff

It shows that he paid $34466856590 for the camera and at the top of the Recipt on the smaller picture he bought it in California the problem I have is that California sales tax is at minimum 7.25 and this says 6.00 so it is another problem, which translates to Fake recipt and probably photoshop the package.]]>Aug 20th 2006 9:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/Aug 20th 2006 10:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/Aug 20th 2006 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/Aug 20th 2006 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/
Get a grip dood. I hope your kid is not dumb enough to get solicated online by some stranger. Plus anyone attempting to do something like that will be easily tracked down. At worst you may hear of an attempt, but I highly doubt you'll hear anyone falling victim.]]>Aug 20th 2006 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/19/xbox-live-vision-sneaks-onto-store-shelf/

My question is, people, Why can't Microsoft sell them now? Excluding some kind of advertising blitz, if the system is up and running (which has been since the last update), and they have obviously been shipped, why can't they just start selling them now?

Thanks,
Bryan
