Preorder X360 at EB for only....

[ChaoofNee]

Xbox 360 will be released in extremely limited quantities, so
EBgames.com is trying to offer bundles that will be affordable and
enjoyable for the biggest audience of our customers.

Awesome. So, I guess if I don't preorder, I'll have to wait a while to play the lack of games I want to play on it.

Those GameStop bundles are the biggest joke of them all... it's like everyone is trying to one up the other to see how ridiculous they can make it, and still have people buy it.

I can't wait for Blockbuster's deal where it's 4 wireless controllers, all with the play and charge kit, and every launch title, with two copies of PDZ for system link!

Since GS and EB are financially the same now, that might be exactly it.

Just go to a normal retail store and get your 360 and whatever the hell you want. Fuck those bullshit eaters at EB.
I don't think its even legal here in Wisconsin to force people to buy stuff in bundles like that.

I know this horse has been beaten to death, but I cannot fathom why anyone would shop at EB or GameStop at all, let alone pre-pay. You realize why they offer the "service", right? Your money earns them interest while you wait for the game, instead of it earning you interest. They should give you back 2 or 3% of the price, because they are making even more when you're a dumbass and preorder in full.

Most of the people who preordered from an actual eb store won't even get a system on launch day, and they'll be lucky if they get it that week.
I'll enjoy laughing at them while I'm playing my impulsively bought 360 on launch day.

I don't know why people put up with that shit. Why fight crowds of people waiting to get the same thing when you can go next door to a Target or Toys R Us and get in and out in seconds. I will NEVER EVER buy a huge game from an EB or GS.

The only valid reason to preorder is if there's some kind of discount or bonus.

As I've said before, I'm getting mine through work. I know there are at least 2 or 3 other people that will be doing it too, we just set it aside and don't sell those systems that day. No pre-orders, no money down, get whatever the hell I want, and on day one. I have all the money saved up already, it's just a matter of keeping it in the bank, keep making more money to keep saving, and then it won't hurt so much.

See, this is the way to do it. Anyone who doesn't follow this strategy is a moron, and EB loves them.
