my point is it was/is freely availible information to anyone that rings any tesco store, it is not classed as confidental for this reason. Any store will be more than happy to tell you how many they have + what there realese plan was, i rang 2 stores myself to try and get hold of a 360 only to be told no luck

The list is mearly a free + easy way to do so (aka no hastle like a phonecall)

The information you posted was a direct print from the host system. Such information is private becuase it is on a nationwide scale.

The list is not, and never was intended for use by the public. It is for Tesco use only.

Either pre-order or take your chances at the larger Superstores of Currys. They tend to get more stock that smaller branches.

my guess for getting one now would be to wait for 2nd shipment whenever it happens. Bound to be messages on forums such as this one as soon as anyone picks one up.
Wonder is m$ will prioritise shipments to people like play.com who have loads of unfufilled pre-orders??
