Over the summer I preordered the Xbox 360 system. I was told when I reserved the system that I would "be guarenteed to get Xbox 360 before Christmas." Albeit, I recieve an automated call (which Gamestop requently does to alert reservees of their preorder status) claiming tha my specific shipment, and mine alone, will be delayed to some time after Christmas.

Furious, I called my Gamestop. Apparently, alot of people from my shipment called with the same complaint. I asked the employee for a number in which I could complain to, and here I am now, waiting to give Gamestop and Microsoft a piece of my mind. I'll see if they are willing to compensate for this injustice.

Anyone else in my boat?

It's same thing here, when they should be giving the 360's for the people who pre-ordered them first. My mom's in such a bunch because that was my Christmas gift and it's not coming until after the Holiday.

Yeah, nothing sucks like not getting something when you pre-order it. O_o

I wonder if this happened with OoT....

Anyways, I'm waiting until Halo 3 comes out to buy the 360.

Have a spare 100 on you? You can get the system now if you flash a little more money...

Preordering is a complete scam. Your best bet is to show up at the store bright and early on the launch date.

I didn't pre-order one, I was going to have to wait for one for awhile anyway....

Walk up to the store clerk and bribe him. Tell him you will give him, and only him, an extra 100 dollars...

Simple right?
