I'm not taking it too seriously, but it's fun to get caught-up a bit in the hype and excitement something that happens once every five years (err, thrice every five years if you count the "other" consoles).

Interesting post by a guy on Evilavatar about the "shortages". He said, "He raises a point which I've thought of myself - how much of the shortage is down to individual stores over-estimating how many machines they would get on launch day. I've personally spoken with a few district managers who were urged to 'get the customers money and let Microsoft take the heat for the shortages'. "
So Gamestop might be to blame more than Microsoft is.

Uhhh, they don't justify, they state it as immutable fact?
At least the guy on the phone replied instantly that I was "second shipment" when I told him the date of my pre-order. That's either a good sign or a(nother) blatant lie.

That why I've been asking what are the T&C's of pre-ordering, was it guaranteed or not?

Oh, I get it now. Well, it's not worth it to me to make a big stink over it. The one thing I recall (or invented??) is that I can use my pre-order $$$ as store credit if I back out.
I got a similar call this week from the local EB I pre-ordered from (at least it was an actual person) and they said it would be a week to two weeks late. I believe I was about the 30th pre-order. Oh well.
Now I'm thinking that the Target in SoBro (that's the yuppie name for the South Bronx) is my best option. I'll have to go there the day before to scout it out.
that helps.

I bet the truck gets robbed before making it to the store!
