Laughed at.
Swore at.
Hung up at....
These are just some of the woes I've had trying to get my self a Xbox 360.
I pre-orderd one ages ago oh yes I did... I was on the top list of gameplay and rearing to go for the many months of wait and play time on 2nd of DEC...
But then something bad happend, something I can't reverse or to be the honest one I woulden't like to after experincing it but this resulited in panic of money and closed my pre-order.
So.. months down the line everything seems fine and few people chip in to help me get one for the family to play on.
So as its near the launch I was hoping from talking on these boards I could get one from a supermarket or dixons etc.
Tonight I made about 100+ calls...
First hope was Tescos that had 5 and alreayd 5 people queing..@ 5pm.
Next was Tescos further away which was not 100% sure if they getting any at all.
That hope went....
Next was many other calls which each answer Pre-orders only or not even selling.
A few calls stick out which was HMV laughing at me to even ask.... I felt demoraled.
Second was Game, I asked if I could coem in for some spare and he told me yes for the ?770 package.
I asked if we could buy the prem pack on its own and he said we can't do this, our main competatior is Ebay and we are trying to match their prices...
Oh right.. so if ebay put seman in a cup and sold it for 1p you'r do the same?
Is this breaking no law of rights?
I asked him if he could explain why they need to match Ebay's prices when its a Auction Site and their prices are at the CON level. I asked if it was breaking any customer rights laws and he told me to **** off and hung up.
Thanks bud! See you when i pop in next.
At now 7pm most stores have closed apart from 12pm open ones but their have gone.
I've tried, I've failed and I've let the family down I feel like a unworthy man.
It sounds pathetic and it is... but I never knew what it felt like to really want or need something and not get it.
This whole xbox 360 launch is a shambles and I just can not wait to see my phone bill after talking to some indian chap who i did nto understand for 20 minutes just to give me a list of stores selling them at 12pm or tommorw..
After 20 mins he said oh.. its pre-orders only.
I just feel really down, I was so excited on here posting after post about HDTV, xbox 360! and playing Live with all you guys and gals... So exicted about getting that arcade game of gaunlet and linking on live with you all to hear your voices....
My excitement has gone ;(.
Never mind though it was all fun being on a mission to find one.
Thanks, good luck and have fun to all whom has one or is getting one I am guessing your having a wonderful time.
luv
