I ask "can u reserve it for me" WOMAN on phone says NO?

Ok, so i jump in mi car, brake every speed limit, parkup, run all the way across Leeds, get to shop, tell WOMAN i have come for the 360 Premium, she directs me to the shelf and ask's which bundel i would like,
1 System + 4 games £460.00
2 System + 6 games £550.00
or
3 System + 8 Games £640.00

What a f***er only drought £330.00

Why the hell dident the WOMAN tell me on the phone about the bundles?

And as for 8 games? there wasent 8 diffrent games on the shelf.

I know what you mean. A lot of people were screwed over here at launch. People went to specific Bestbuys looking to buy a system for 400 USD, only to find out that the Bestbuy's would only sell them in bundles. People who didn't want to spend the 700-800 on them (and left), whom waited over night in line for a launch spot, were very pissed.

The headquarters ordered the Bestbuys that screwed the consumers to accept any returns of x360 items that were force bundled, then apologized to those who waited and couldn't get one because of it.

I'm sorry that you were a victim of crappy business services.

Friggin Hell!

Is it really THAT hard to get the Box in the USA???
Land of the infinite possibilities, ha?

The sale at my local shop (in Germany) was like this:
I came in. Waited in line. Got my Premium XBox Pack an a FREE W-Controller.
That´s about it. Okay after 45min. there was not one XBox left but who cares... got mine.

And for the bundles. There is not one shop here that is selling the Box in any kind of bundle. You can get the Core or the Premium Version... thats it.

Guess German marketing is not as sucky as it is the USA. No offense!

PEACE
(Excuse my bad english)

i had the same problem when i tried first time to get one from game up here near durham. i called game and asked if they had any systemd left, they said they had 4 systems but would only sell with the 8 game bundle for £680 no exceptions. so i waited a extra week and luckily managed to be im pc world as a new ship-ment came in.

honestley the 360's are rarer than rockie horse sh==e here in the uk.
