Default Any Electronic Retail Store Employees?

I had a preorder for the xbox 360 @ eb games but they told me that i am unable to get mine until 2-3 weeks after the initial launch date.

Im gonna just cancel my preorder and go to the store and pick it up. I know best buy is going to have it but my questions is can i buy the $399.99 one and not have to worry about buying the games and all that...also are they going to be opening early for them as well. I also no circuit shitty is going to have them for sale on friday online...

Any help

Jae ... don't cancel that preorder. You'll be retarded if you do.

Monitor eBay ... if they're going for $500+ before xmas, consider this like a stock option. You're locked in for a set amount knowing it's worth more.

I did this with the PS2. I got one from Gamestop.com and EB.com ... AND slept on the curb of a Target. I unloaded these for uber profit right before xmas.

So you saying just hold on to that pre-order and go to lets say best buy and buy one and then use the best buy one for personal use and when i pick up the other one from EB then unload that on ebay FTW

bingo.

here's what you do.

1. keep the EB pre-order
2. buy the Best Buy one
3. monitor eBay
4. purchase the EB pre-order
5. make eBay decision
5a. sell
5b. return unopened 360 to either store.

It's a fool proof way to get cash.

im sure my store will open early cuz we're a 'buzz' store. (we get all the latest and greatest stuff). i dunno about other stores.. and as far as i know you can buy whatever the fuck you want with it.
