Do I have any hope of finding a xbox kinect sensor?

Check out Walmart.com, they have them in stock. I believe it comes with 2 games.

If you go to

http://wiialerts.com

you can subscribe to instock text alerts for the Kinect and hard to find products like that.

Wiialerts.com site does work well, I've used it for getting several Wiis for my family, Wii Fits and other products like that in the last couple of years.

Black Friday weekend I saw them at Game Stop, Best Buy and Target. Did you try Best Buy online? I would keep checking, particularly at Game Stop and Best Buy. I bet you can get one before Christmas. I would NOT pay over $149 for one...that's crazy!

I've visited our local wal-mart twice in the past week and both times there was the sensor in the case. Guess the hype was just that. I'm torn - the games out for the sensor don't really have much that appeals to me. Don't know whether I should just wait it out and maybe make it a gift from the easter bunny, or if I should bite the bullet and have santa bring it.

Everyone was telling me they saw them everywhere too - Target, Gamestop, Walmart, but when I went to those places, they didn't have them, they had empty boxes sitting on the shelves where they should be as a marketing thing. My mother told me she had just seen three at Target that morning, I went right there and was told they didn't have them and hadn't in days - I said "but my mother saw 3 here this morning" and they pointed to the shelf where there were 3 empty boxes sitting as display. Walmart and Gamestop do the same thing. The ones that actually have a sensor in them are in the back, or behind the counter...they just put empty boxes on the shelf to advertise them.

So I did have a hard time getting one, but ended up getting one, (this was like a couple days after they came out though) at Gamestop. Go to a couple of different locations and find one where they are helpful. There is one near me where the manager told me what time their shippment comes in each day. I showed up every day at that time and he would unpack the box and for 2 day there weren't any, but on the 3rd day he had 4 come in and I was there as he unpacked them.

I actually asked at all three and they are in stock. Must be regional. All three stores had the dancing Mickey things too. I guess people in my area are just not up on the current "in demand" items (or maybe we live in a highly populated area and we get more of thse items sent to our area?

Glad you found it!
