I just took back two Xbox 360 games from another bundle I bought with no problems and got a giftcard. Best Buy, Kmart and Meijers all refused to return them without a receipt.

Has anybody's Xbox360 from walmart.com shipped yet? Mine still says processing.

i would shy away from bundles at this point as others hae mentioned... just too much $$ up front even if you can return

I don't get everyone worrying about these overpriced things being in stock. My local Wal-Mart has had at least 10 of the "premium" ones and 5 of the "core" ones on the shelf since they came out. They have had no problem keeping them in stock.

Just bc your walmart has them doesnt mean everyones does. I've been checking online inventories everyday for Bestbuy and CC and haven't been able to find anything within a 100 mile radius. My local walmart has only had two shipments in, both sold out within in an hour.

I guess if they ship via USPS they wouldnt have gone out today. No email confirmation at all here.

this is well not really hot, but well it is in stock so if you want one its ok.

they do force you to take crap like, a faceplate, the charging kit, the full price xbox live card and 6 games at full price.



i actually was able to get mine at a local best buy when a coworker told me it was in stock with no bundle. granted they only had 2, but at least i wasnt made to buy all this stuff i would not really want. then you end up buying all this stuff people are selling off from bundles that they really did not want. if you want this stuff though its not bad.



i figure you have $400 system, $20 face plate, $50 extra wireless control, $20 charge kit, $50 xbox live card, $50x3 for 3 games, + $180 for the other 3.


so that is 870. i suppose if you really wanted you could just buy 2 copies of the 3 $50 games.

but yeah... once you ebay some fo those games off and the useless faceplate its not too bad really.

Lets see how many complain about this post. I did find a place online that does have them in stock. I ordered from them to be sure it was real and a week later Fedex was at my door. I havnt checked back but they had them in stock a few weeks ago.

Yeah I think they are a smaller compnay probably dont have much of a web presence yet. I found them by doing a froogle search they were listed higher up in the listing at the time. I jsut didnt believe that someone had them in stock so I ordered it waiting for the OUT of Stock message.

Also, they have the regular premium bundles without forcing you to buy 3 games and extras to boost it to $900.

Wallermicro is selling the jap version, not the American version. Plus its $499 for just the console and nothing with it. Not hot

*EDIT*

They are selling the US version for $699 with no games....DEFINATELY NOT HOT

My local WalFart had a unit or two in when I was browsing... no biggie I don't think. Only a biggie to the tards at GameStop that sold pre-orders out 6 months after launch. Yeah, now there they are rare.

Your not going to find them for Average retail price anywhere, prices get jacked up due to supply and demand. I own a retail gaming store in my town and even the distributors are jacking up the prices so most retailers dont have a choice but to sell them at higher prices most of them are not makign a penny on the systems. Anyways I went back to www.wallermicro.com today because my cousin wants one and they droppped the prices on the US version of the Xbox 360 to 579.99 and they also now have a Black and Charcoal System listed for 439.99. Still a litte over the 399.99 mark but I was not awre that they were going to make them in different colors. They must be part of the 2nd Gen that came out that supposedly has the issues fixed.
