I reserved my Xbox 360 back in July. And a week ago, I finally finish paying off my reserved. So I call them to ask them when would be a good time for me to pick it up. And they have the audacity to say that my console won't be in the store for another 2 WEEKS! Arrrghh!!

So now I'm on the waiting list. They NEVER done this to me before. Even when I reserved my copy of Halo 2 they had my copy at midnight. They fail me!

Poor WD.

Gamestop isn't always the most reliable video game store. That's why I go there mostly to buy DVD's. Although I did reserve my copy of SOCOM 3 there.

I'm sure you can find something to do for 2 weeks. Polishing your warhammer figures perhaps?

I noticed you're a bookworm. Try looking for books by David Eddings, and them read them. preferably the Belgariad.

Bloody good books.

Nactous
I KNEW THEY WOULD.

WindDancer
They always been reliable to me. I been a customer for 2 years. It sucks!

Yes! Reading might calm my nerves. big grin

Erg, that sucks erm I guess that most stores are going to have a shortage of 360s at first, and even preordering doesn't guarantee that you'll get one tomorrow. It must really suck to be one of those people who didn't preorder and are going to try and get one tomorrow.

I played the 360 at Target. Looks great. But I wont be purchasing one for a long time. I'm just going to wait until the price drops. I never really was a huge video game fanatic. I spend too much time watching movies, writing down my film ideas, and reading books. But I do love a good online game here and there. The PS3 looks promising, I'm still debating on which one I will end up with.

Lana
Meh, I never plan on getting one, I'm not an Xbox fan. No point when nearly every game gets ported to the other systems or PC, you know?

When it comes to the next-gens I plan on waiting for the Nintendo Revolution.

Yeah, that's terrible. erm At least it's 2 weeks and not 2 months like some other people have to wait.

EBGames betrayed me recently. I preordered Call of Duty 2 for my 360, it was supposed to ship on the 16th with Next Day Air, I have yet to see it, but it should be here today.

WindDancer
What is this? Has Ken gone soft? No tauting because you're getting your Xbox earlier and not me? stick out tongue




Speaking of releases there was a limited amount of games not schedule for a Nov. 22th released. I wonder why the shortages. blink



Thinking of pre-ordering or just wait?

Lana
I'll wait until it gets closer to the release date (which I don't think is even set yet) before I decide on that....stick out tongue

And I guess the shortages are because it's being released world-wide the same day, and Microsoft, being the geniuses they are, didn't ship enough systems. roll eyes (sarcastic)

The Revolution is either going to rule, or bomb. The controllers can be used greatly if Nintendo decides to use them to the best of their advantage. Just wondering what those controllers can do when playing in a light saber duel, in a starwars game makes me Drool.

El_NINO
Micorosft didnt ship consoles, it could be that they want to have shortages this way they can find out if they will be making money from all the orders comming in. In which case would make them genuises because then people will buy it with an even more passion.

My dad and I are going to pick up our copy tomorrow and we'll get there before it opens to get ours.We didn't pre-order though,we never pre-order.

BackFire
That sucks, WD, but you're not alone.

Two of my friends work at GS and this is a problem across the board. GS dropped the ball on this bigtime by leading people to believe that they would have enough on launch day for everyone who pre-ordered it.

I'd suggest you go to bestbuy/walmart on opening day and see if you can't get one. They aren't doing reserves (well, bestbuy isn't anyways), it's first come first serve. So try and buy one from one of those stores and then go to GS and get your preorder money back.

It's crap like this that keeps me from preordering ANYTHING.

This is going to hurt GS big time, I think. People are going to be very hesitant to preorder anything for a long time.

DarkC
At the local Future Shop where I buy most of my gaming accessories, they really overstock; they did it for Halo 2 and all the major movies, like SWIII. Never ran dry of resources. The large general electronics stores tend to be a lot more reliable.

Indeed, I'm not to happy with them because of this issue. And wouldn't hesitate for a minute to drive to Best Buy to buy me a console and get my money back from GS. Unfortunally, because of my recent budget expenses on my new hobbie. I can't get another $400.00 for the console. I fully agree that this will get GS a bad reputation that might cost them the lost of customers.

Picked a bad time to start warhammer, eh?

How's that going for you, anyways? Enjoying it?

What you could do is just get a refund from GS before launch day, and just hope to get lucky at bestbuy and get one. Though that's taking a big risk.

I had everything plan pefectly. Finish paying my xbox, then build my WH army, and save some bucks by avoiding buying extra DVDs. And it all backfire on me. (no pun intended)

I might consider your suggestion for tomorrow. But I have to work and by the time I get to Best buy or Fry's they might sold out. I'll think of something.

And yes! I'm loving Warhammer. big grin

I will soon finish painting my dwarf army and engage on war campaign this thanksgiving weekend. Is all good!

That's the reason why I NEVER pre-order games.It's to big a risk of you getting screwed out of your money or having to wait a long time before you get what you pre-ordered.

Makae
Sorry WD. I work at a GameStop, and we were told that we were going to have an exact amout of X-Boxes in for the 22nd. So we pre-ordered that amout. And then like three days before we got the systems in Microsoft tells us that they don't have as many games as they thought.

The whole thing bites.

I would never, ever pay a penny more for a console than the standard set price by the company.

powerfulone1987
What's WD's ebay.

I heard on news today that many people bought the systems to sell them on ebay.
One was as high as $1700.

Is it comprehensible.....

WindDancer's ebay post.. the post before mine, saying people paid upwards of $5100 for a 360.

That's ridiculous but I find this particular part funny though: "By mid-afternoon, one buyer was so eager to own one of the new systems paid $5,100 for a hard-drive enabled machine and a copy of "Need for Speed: Most Wanted" - and the eager beaver will have to wait another two weeks before the console is shipped, according to the seller."

That was just stupid. And I wouldn't want a Xbox 360 that's already been purchased by someone else anyway. I never buy used stuff over the internet. And I especially wouldn't buy a used system.
They do say "patience is a virtue".
Obviously people don't want vir....anyway, I don't know what I'm saying, my mind is just trying to wrap around this phenomena of stupidity.

By the way Jkozzy, how is Microsoft gaining/getting anything out of people selling them on ebay?

Is it comprehensible.....

WindDancer
I don't point the blame directly at Microsoft. My disappointment is directed towards Gamestop. They were very clear on saying "If you reserved an Xbox 360 before the 22nd of November and if you fully paid for it, you will get the console that same day".

On the link I provided the point I'd tried to make (which I didn't make it clear) is that there are some scams going around the web selling the console at outrageous prices. Don't be fooled by them.

BackFire
So WD, what did you decide to do? Gonna just wait a couple weeks for gamestop to get yours in? or are you going to try to get it elsewhere?

TwisterGameX
some how I think they still won't have it, in a couple weeks for you.

Is it comprehensible..... It gives them the satisfaction that their (limited) console launch is a huge success, and shows how far their fanbase is willing to go to get their hands on the system. In this instance, they were extremely successful.

There is no point in driving around looking for one. All the electronic stores have sold out. I'll just stay put and wait two weeks. In the mean time I'll be working on my WH army.

What about you BF? Thinking of getting one in the future?

Sir Mist
http://search.ebay.com/xbox-360_W0QQfromZR40

I think nearly all of these are over $700 shock Some breaking $1000.

People are insanely stupid.


How long until Microsoft starts shipping decent amounts out to the public?

JKozzy
A few months, maybe longer?

Ken Kenobi
Those people at eBay...idiots with too much money.

JKozzy
Not necessarily... maybe they're deciding not to eat for the next year stick out tongue

Sir Mist
What's the RRP in the US for a 360?

Cinemaddiction
I predict a lot of relisted 360's on eBay. People bidding on things they can't afford.

Frankly, it'll be atleast a year before I consider buying one. $60 per game is just too much, and considering what's available now, it isn't really worth it. There's absolutely nothing wrong with X-Box and games like Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory that look just as good on a regular unit as they do on a 360.

Probably a wise decision you made, from the sounds of it, as you said, every store is sold out of them.

I have no plans of getting one. The only reason I'd ever buy one is to resell it for a higher price. All of the games I'd be interested in playing, save Perfect Dark: Zero, are available for the PC. Seeing as I have a good PC I have no problem playing them on a solid resolution making them look pretty much just as good as they would on the 360.

The only way I'll be buying one is if RARE makes a new Killer Instinct game for the system. I would buy the system for that game, most likely.

Smasandian
This usually happens with most console releases. I do agree that the shortage of 360's are because of MS having the release date so bloody soon.
What I dont like about the new HD era of videogames is that some games look really bad on standard tv's, while some games work incredibly well on standard tv's but look crappier on HDTV's. They're no consistincy in terms of graphics, something console's have been better than PC games. And considering the ridiculous price of the games, thats bullshit.
That's why I still like Nintendo's approach about serving up quality gaming for everybody, and not just the rich.

Wolf Dog
Wow, people suck bad. Thousands of dollars being wasted on an overhyped machine. no And you know MS created the "shortage" on purpose for that green, you know it, i know it. I don't remember the PS2 launch being as hectic as this, or was it?

Smasandian
I dont remember also.
But they're was a shortage also.

Gamespot has an article on how much money XBOX is losing on the 360.
Every 360 bought, MS is losing $126. Thats $1 more than how much xbox lost.

Wolf Dog
I think i remember an article say MS was expecting that. They rely on games to make a real profit....i mean they rely on ONE game-Halo.

WindDancer
Two weeks have passed and now they're telling me it will take another two weeks until my console arrive.

I'd tried other places and no luck finding one. Fustration and tension building up.

*BEEP*

JKozzy
Microsoft has halted shipments until the week of December 12th, apparently, in order to fix the defective consoles and to make sure the ones that they do ship out to stores aren't defective. I'd just wait at Gamestop.

WindDancer
I heard of those defective issues. But in my local gamestop there hasn't been a return so far. I really don't want to wait till January. If they do, I will just a get a full refund. No point in waiting.

TwisterGameX
u still didn't get the 360 winde dancer ?


what games you getting anyway

WindDancer
No 360 games for now. I want to play Halo 2 in the 360 above all other games. Then buy Call of Duty.

What really gets me in a foul mood is that gamestop has fool me twice. First was in July and then two weeks ago when they told me it would arrive this week. And so far nothing at all. I ask the clerk if they're going by monthly reservations. All he replies is "We will call you when it gets here" I'm like WTF! answer my godamn question.

At a different time.. when I had recieved a defective halo disc.. (it wouldnt load the 3rd level/map).. I noticed on the underside of the disc, that the foil had a hole in it... I brought it back to EB and I was like "Err.. this is defective.. wont load the 3rd level.. can I exchange it for a new one?"..he asks why.. I tell him theres a defect in the foil.. and he sits there and has me wait for 5 minutes while he tries to see the hole in the foil..which you know he's a n00b so he doesnt know what I'm talking about... then he goes "Oh, there it is.. ok.." *hands me new halo*.. I was like /sigh.. I wish they would employ gamers sometimes... but I guess that would get scary after a while..

WindDancer
Just to update you guys on my current situation. I call the store again today to see if there were any news on arriving Xbox 360. I assure you guys I was very relax and calm when I made the call. Whoever, when I call the service guy....he just said a big "NO" to me over the phone. Then I ask for the manager and he told me that there is small chance I would get my 360....sometime during THE LAST WEEK OF FEBRUARY 2006!!!

That was the last straw! I going today to get a full refund on my reservation. I'm sick of Gamestops lies and their poor customer service. At this moment I seriously don't feel like doing business with Gamestop. Maybe in the future....but not today. It will be a very long time till I set foot on a gamestop again. I'm very disappointed...not even a free gift! Or a complemantary T-shirt.

BackFire
Just don't preorder anymore, and don't buy used games, that's where they make most of their profit. Preordering is almost always a pointless endeaver anyways.

Sorry to hear about your annoyance, WD. It really sucks that you won't be getting your xbox as you were promised originally.

WindDancer
It is very disappointing BF. Heck, if they're would have been nice enough to say "we're sorry for the delay" that would have been understanble. Gamestop needs to improve in the customer service dept. I doubt this whole Xbox 360 will bad for them. They got the PS2, PC, and Nintendo fans that support them.

After reading this thread, I'm not.

ONe of the employees at the Gamestop here was going to rip the store off by stuffing four sixty day game cards into one box, and buying it at the end of his shift. I know this because my friend came in and bought the one with four game cards in it.

We don't have the smartest of people here in Hawaii

TwisterGameX
Do you know whats funny. The fact that in the past when I preordered something from gamestop, and went to pick it up, I was on line at the store, and the guy in front of me asked for the same game I had and they gave it to him then I am next in line and asked for my game, and they said that guy just got th elast one...I said you son of a...I pre ordered mine and you guys said pick it up today..that other guy didn't even pre order...WTFFFF

the 360 situation, while a great business move by microsoft, definitely deserves to be called out for what it is for them: a way to make more money and increase hype. gonna be some sad faces come christmas day.

my opinion on it is that its a beautiful game and everything... but the gameplay feels devoid of life... perhaps its cuz I was fighting the computer, and a friend who's not very good at it.. but it just felt more familiar than it should have, considering the last time I played DoA series was when DoA2 hit dreamcast.. messed

No, not Master Chief, but another Spartan. A girl, Nicole, I think her name is.

SaTsuJiN
are her moves bs'ed?.. or does it look like the type of combat that a spartan would partake in?

DarkC
Oh, I've seen the video and definitely it's Spartanish.


One of her moves, she picks them up by their neck and does some sort of fury-superpunch that knocks her opponent flying about three meters away.

BackFire
I don't like the spartan character in DOA, she's really shitty. She has one cool move, where she hits them and puts a sticky grenade on them, then pushes them away as it explodes.

My nephew just got a summer job at a local Gamestop.

I may start loving Gamestop again....If I get the hook ups with the freebies.
