Found this on an XBox forum....... Someone figured out how to surf Target's internal inventory system......
"I was able to follow the instructions to a "T" yesterday and was able to pick up an Xbox 360 at my local Target. I called at 7am and was told that there were 2 at one store. I was able to drive down prior to them opening, was the only one in line, and was able to snag the 360. I was in and out in 10 minutes.
Great post. It does work.

I got a premium system at target yesterday (I live north of denver). It died after 30 minutes, but I got another today at a different target (exchanged, no issues). Here's how to check availability at target stores in your area:
call 1-8000303-0308, navigate through menus 3-3-2-1
give them item number 207-21-0001 (premium system)
they'll get your name address, zip code, and search stores in your area for stock. do this around 7am, stores open at 8am. If none today, have them give you a reference number, you can just give them that the next time(s) you call, and they'll search again for you. Took me 4 days, and then the last 2 days there have been different stores with quite a few in stock near where I live.
Wow, this method worked. Although I missed my window of opportunity...I went to a local target yesterday afternoon. But they had sold the premiums they recieved earlier that day. I'll retry again."
