Now on eBay: A Target-acquired 360 Elite?

Has Target decided to jump the gun on the Xbox 360’s Elite’s reported release date? This appears to be the speculation on hand, as we pick up word of an ongoing eBay auction for Microsoft‘s 120GB incarnation of their 360 game console. The eBay seller advertised that the unit is not a pre-order, and is ready for shipping upon the auction’s end this April 21 – eight days before the Elite’s estimated April 29 launch.

As for the matter of our first line, one of the images posted on eBay included a receipt indicating that the 360 Elite was originally bought at a Target store outlet. If this is true, then the retailer may have indeed decided quietly sell their Elites early to get a jump on the competition. We leave it to our reader’s discretion regarding the authenticity of this deal. For the more prudent guys who decide to wait for the Elite’s official release, we advise them to try to take advantage of GameStop’s ongoing Xbox 360 trade-in plan.
