If you want to play Xbox 360 early, you could take your chances on eBay and hope it's somehow legit. Or simply visit the handy map locator at frappr.com/xbox360kiosks to find an in-store kiosk near you.

This has forced a temporary shutdown of the game demo stations in some places, so you may want to call first to see if it's actually running. Gamers also report some stations have been set up for the wrong screen size and at lower output resolutions that don't exactly show off the next-gen system to the fullest.
