I was in Walmart last Wed. and I was looking around. I asked if they had a Xbox and the lady at the counter said she did and pulled one out from behind the counter. She told me that some guy bought three of them and then returned them Wednesday morning. I looked at the boxes and they had been opened. I asked if I could get a discount since the boxes were opened and they would not budge. I decided not to get one and went with a Gamecube instead.
So I was wondering why someone would do this? Do you think he took them apart and stole the HD or some other component and then returned them? It seems that this may be possible as not that many Walmart employees would think to check to see if it worked before accepting the return. I had the thought of the missing HD at the time which is why I opted not to get one. Are there any other components in there that would be worth anything besides the hard drive?
Or do you think that this guy might just have it out for Bill Gates and thinks that if he does this it will affect he and Microsoft's bottom line? I could understand if he bought them to try to auction and then found that he would not make that much so he just returned them, but why would he open them and then return them? I might understand opening one, not liking it and returning it, but not opening 3.
By the way this store was in Greenville, Mississippi. It had at least 6 Gamecubes as well. I got a black one and the lady had to go to the back to get it. They had 3 purples in the case and she brought out 3 black ones.
I was also in the Cary, NC Target store tonight and they had 3 Xbox's if anybody needs one still.
