I doubt they are remotely worried. I was at Brent Cross shopping center and the weekend and there was a 360 on demo at Dixons, it was just sitting there untouched most of the time, the odd person having a look.

It'd being over-hyped by nerds and real enthusiasts on forums but I don't think the general population are generally that excited.

Who was that with?

BazH

That was with GAME, literally days after they offered to let me cancel my order Just received the email in the last 5 minutes

davegtt

BazH

OK, what's the score here then, are game tring to take the ****, recd this email AFTER getting the one above saying i would be receiving my 360 tomorrow




Dear Customer,

Just to update you on your Xbox 360 order. As the X360 is released tomorrow we
have had to change the status of your order so that when we do receive stock we
can make the offer of a console to you as quickly as possible.

We have, as yet, not received confirmed numbers from Microsoft for further
supply, but are optimistic that we will be able to send you a secure link over
the next couple of weeks, this will be done in order by date pre-ordered.

As always we will keep you informed as we go forward and are doing our best to
obtain one for you.

Please note if you receive automated updates these are programmed to be sent as
we reach launch date and should be disregarded.

Yours faithfully

Jonny Austin

lol.. its funny you know, all you people fretting, I only decided last night I want one and should be fine for having mine at midnight

BazH

Certainly not fretting, just aghast at the shambles that is ordering through GAME online.

davegtt

I know, I hate ordering stuff online, knowing that whatever youve paid for is in the post and you have to sit and wait for it....

BazH

Ok folks, confirmation from GAME that i'm NOT getting one They changed all the orders from preorder to ordered and when they did this the system generated those effin emails incorrectly stating that it was on it's way. So, to recap, preordered on first day they were taking orders and NOT getting one.

davegtt

gutted mate Id be seriously pi55ed

question though, the £280 xbox360, does it come with access to xboxlive or do you have to sign up to that seperately?

kernel

Get 30 days free trial of Live Gold I believe, and you should be able to transfer over and existing XBox 1 live account to the 360

davegtt

thats a bit pants would have thought you get all the live kit you would have got a years free subscription.... otherwise your paying £70 for what? headset and a remote control?

BazH

Letter of complaint (no disguising how annoyed i am) is sent

RB5-Black

lol MS are making a loss on every console and you want another £40 of live for free

you get silver membership for free that's why you buy all the kit.

GrollySTI

Hard drive maybe?

kernel

I thought Silver was free with either kit, after all all the real content on silver is pay to get. With the premium you do get HD, remote control, wireless controller not wired and advanced AV cable for the 80 squids.

NWMark

headset
remote
wireless controller instead of wired one
harddrive
advanced TV cable
media remote control

bashman

Just got home and had a message to call the Manager at my local GAME store, before close of business tonight. I must admit I started to think the inevitable, since it had already been confirmed I was getting one!

I have just got off the phone and it was basically to confirm my XBOX360 was in and waiting for me! And what games did I want to reserve for tomorrow at a discounted price.

Two packs are apparently available:

1) 4 games of my choice and the XBOX full package @ £440
2) All 10 launch games and the XBOX full package + some other stuff @ £770

I decided to take advantage of one of the offers (making the games £40 each as opposed to £50 each) and have put aside:

PGR3
Call Of Duty
Need 4 Speed - Most Wanted
Project Dark Zero

I know what I will be doing tomorrow!

Regards,
Shaun.

Weird, the games in Newbury game are priced at £45 not £50. Ordered all mine from gameplay for about £38 each with my loyalty code

I'll be spending tomorrow playing as well

Scooby-Doo

Game are selling PGR3 for for £45 tomorrow. Well they are to me anyway if not I will be leaving with no games.

ex-webby

Sorry.... only THREE of the launch titles are £45.... the rest are £50.

Tried my local Asda earlier but they aren't getting any. Nearest store receiving is about 40 miles away and as i'm ill as a bugger I cant be arsed driving there.

At least I can carry on with the 205 this weekend though, rather than gaming

RB5-Black

well my ides was Asda too I called in at 1pm even then one bloke was there since 0730. called at 5pm to check on the stock they got and the lady informed me the que was 20 people long when they only had 10 consoles ..... just got to hope Amazon get their act together. What a bummer
