Man, there is egg on my face. Remember when I said that the Ballmer family wouldn't be scoring a free Xbox 360? Well that part holds true, but they sure got one easily enough. The manager of a Best Buy in Bellevue, Washington alerted Microsoft employees of a shipment coming in the following day, Ballmer says many Microsoft employees shop at the store, so it's not that big of a deal. Which may be true, but that doesn't mean I can't still be a little jealous, right?

Thanks Chilly, count backwards from 10.
