Major Nelson, in his never ending effort to get a 360 into your living room, points out a blog with a somewhat foolproof (in theory) method to acquire an Xbox 360 via online retailers. Blogger Sean Alexander suggests bookmarking Ben's Bargains and then download URly configure it to warn you when three words change on a page (i.e., In Stock or Out of Stock) and have the whole shebang check for new information every minute or so.

Now that it's all set up, I'd suggest prayer of some kind, because I think if you don't have one by now - it's going to take a miracle to get a 360 by Christmas.
