Say No to Console Bundles!

That's another thing I'm not willing to do: Shell out for a pre-order. Fully paid or not, once I pay for my ticket it should be guaranteed. I don't want to hear about how they went overboard with pre-orders and cannot meet demand and so those that paid full-price get it first. This happened to me with the PS2. I refuse to be had like that again.

I think they learned from that mistake and will only take preorders on what they will be receiving. They did that for the Wii and PS3. There are some Best Buy stores that will give out tickets for those waiting in line and once the lines near the last person that got the ticket and there are more, they'll go out and give additional tickets those standing in line.

I was working at the EB in Manhattan Mall during PS2, GC, DS release. At that time, we took preorders regardless of how many we were getting.

Last Saturday night I went to Best Buy and there were two ugly girls with crooked teeth sitting on a mattress outside the store waiting overnight for a Wii the next morning. It was fucking freezing cold and raining all night. lol @ them.

Forced bundling should not be done. If someone wants to start off with $300 to get a Wii and just one game, let them. Don't cram 5 games down their throat that they may not even want.

Sure, the games you don't want could be left unopened and sent to the 'Bay to get back some of what you spend. But you shouldn't be forced to resort to such a hassle.

This bullshit is why I hit up NCSX for a Japanese Wii and an import Ghost Squad. I refuse to support forced bundles. Hell will freeze over before I pay $500+ for an eBayed Wii.

Why not take the "shop somewhere else" option?

Why not just buy a 360 instead

Because he likes shooters and light gun games?

Maybe the Wii will improve their chance with the boys.

I just bought my Wii off of eBay and I ended up paying like 50 extra dollars for it. Better then getting some bundle and getting shit I didn't want or waiting outside of a store like a moron.

This thread's existence is annoying. The answers are simple. Like having stomach cramps and asking TNL if you should take a shit or not.

You bought a Wii.

Lets not make you out to be some Einstein level do-gooder because you made a move that a was less-stupid than everyone else.
