C|Net | at | by Mike
Leading retailer Toys "R" Us said Wednesday that its online store sold out its first batch of Xbox video game units in 30 minutes on Tuesday. Toysrus.com and its online partner, Amazon.com, began taking preorders for Microsoft's new game console this week, but only in a bundle with $200 worth of extra hardware and games. The Xbox will be available at retail outlets on Nov. 8 with a suggested price of $299. However, Amazon and Toysrus.com take advance Xbox orders for $499 with a number of games and accessories included.
