Re: XBOX 360 2nd shipment horror T_T noooooooo

"Baka Inu" indeed. I guess things are good with me not getting first shipment. The past generation has seen initially launched systems having faults in one way or another. And the big problem with manufacturing is (Moore and Allard both said this) that even with multiple factories working at full capacity, the yield of good chips to bad chips is the reason why the system's unit numbers are so low.

However, PS2 had 500,000 units at launch, so for Microsoft to have 1 million is an accomplishment, regardless of if they're being spread around the world.

Re: XBOX 360 2nd shipment horror T_T noooooooo

... I decided to give up my reserve and go sit outside walmart to get mine. (I got this idea from one of my friends, who runs the other EB in my Area, who also gave up his for a customer). I will be sitting outside Walmart for 7 hours to get mine).

BestBuy FTW, but it really dosent matter were you go. If your premiums got cut back for more cores, that means imma turn my 11 hour wait to roughly 12+ becuase im sure the same thing happened to other stores.. I am determined to get a premium package. My boss was looking for a x360 for her son and i told her that she can have my preorder if it comes out before christmas (since it wont be any use to her afterward). hopefully the second shipment does come out before hand then my preorder can go to some use. other wise i am getting my money back... might buy a snowbard with it. i saw this good RIDE bard with bindings for 349 at my local sports shop. couple that with that with some Forum boots and im all set ^_^. but back on topic. yeah, im that determined. oh yeah, if i cant get an xbox premium, i'll preorder the ps3 (if i get on first shipment and am no more than 20 reserves on the list.) Game store ownser should tell their customers what shipment they are on when they preorder big money stuff like that. or have a sign up for when they are taking orders and when each shipments category ends.

Uh, time to simplify this thread. So I reserved a Xbox360. I won't be getting it and I should get my money back?

Don't blame Gamestop, blame Microsoft for giving half their first units to Mountain Dew for extra publicity.

Lmao i was thinking this today. Gamestop, radio stations, comedy central. All of those givinig them away adds up.

Yeah, you'd think the first console of the next gen systems would sell itself.... you'd be wrong.

"Game store ownser should tell their customers what shipment they are on when they preorder big money stuff like that. "

TB: See, this is where the problem lies, this is what happened:

Microsoft: Hey, EBGames you're getting x systems.
EBGames: Thanks, we'll start pre-ordernow

We run out.

month later

Microsoft: Oi! EB, You get more systems!
EBGames: Thank you oh great microsoft.

2 months later

MC: Take more You get x+y+z systems now!
EB: THank you again!

2 weeks before release:

MC: "You got cut y+z systems"
EB: "WTF, you fucking bastards"
MC: "Too bad"


3 days later
MC: "You guys got cut again, but good news, you got more cores!"
EB: ....

Today:

Nothing Happened.

Re: XBOX 360 2nd shipment horror T_T noooooooo

What a certain retailer told me about X360

I went to a certain retailer of whom i wont say to cut down on the competion for standing in line. I happened to find out EXACTLY how many units that paticular store (and most likely the rest of the chain) got and the ratio of premium to cores. Needless to say, this store got above 40 Units and the premiums out number the core units 3/2 (most likely, i wasnt told the exact number of the ratio). I repeat, i will not tell you the name but it is a big store. A no, im not telling you the exact number, but it was a generous along the lines of what InuTrunks was saying in the other topic. Yeah i bought me a wireless controller for the X360 there too, it fits like glove in your hands ^^~

Similar to what you stated before about what each level of retail would get X amount of systems. like stores like walmart and target getting 7-10, which my friend did confirm who works at a target.
