yah, most places near me have a weekly stock of em now (but small). They are usually sold quickly, but I too am glad that this whole shortage issue is starting to blow over.

I know what you mean. A lot of people were screwed over here at launch. People went to specific Bestbuys looking to buy a system for 400 USD, only to find out that the Bestbuy's would only sell them in bundles. People who didn't want to spend the 700-800 on them (and left), whom waited over night in line for a launch spot, were very pissed.

The headquarters ordered the Bestbuys that screwed the consumers to accept any returns of x360 items that were force bundled, then apologized to those who waited and couldn't get one because of it.

I'm sorry that you were a victim of crappy business services.

Friggin Hell!

Is it really THAT hard to get the Box in the USA???
Land of the infinite possibilities, ha?

The sale at my local shop (in Germany) was like this:
I came in. Waited in line. Got my Premium XBox Pack an a FREE W-Controller.
That´s about it. Okay after 45min. there was not one XBox left but who cares... got mine.

And for the bundles. There is not one shop here that is selling the Box in any kind of bundle. You can get the Core or the Premium Version... thats it.

Guess German marketing is not as sucky as it is the USA. No offense!

PEACE
(Excuse my bad english)
