Post by: mgamer20o0 on September 10, 2005, 07:07:00 PM
does anyone know of any places that are selling preorders without a bundle?

There aren't any yet, to the best of my knowledge. Just be like the rest of us and check frantically every day. Amazon might be your best bet. I've heard that they might have a bundleless package but it's not up yet.  beerchug.gif

Walk into EB and you can order the "core" system for $299.

i don't think some places take pre-orders tho, for example im 99% sure amazon doesn;t, same with best buy.  ur best bet would be to show up at best buy early.  or heres a trick for u.  go into best buy a lot, buying things and such, and be-friend one of the employes (or i guess u could pay him/her).  then what u do is ask them to not reserve but "put a side" a 360 and like 2 games (i think u have to buy at least 2 at bestbuy, but u may wanna ask about that part cuz u said u don't want any bundles, but it usually ok cuz u can chose).  Thats how i got my psp first day.  my dad goes into best-buy every tuesday at like the same time for dvd's/cd's and so he knew the guy.  so when my dad asked about reserving one for me he said he could "put 1 aside" as long as he got there like in the first hour of the opening, after that he would put it on the shelves.  it worked great.  thats how i got mine the first day and how i was 1 of only ~10 ppl who got ridge racer that day at best buy (they had like no stock of that game).

Gamestop or eb more than likely allows yo to pre order the core systems.

i pre-ordered chaos theory from gamestop months ahead of time and when i went to get it on launch they apologized for selling it to someone... i wouldnt trust them with a 360 order.

Meh... screw all these pre-order bundles.  I'm not even going to try and pre-order now.  I'm going to walk into one of a dozen local Wal-Marts at midnight and get one.  Seems easy enough (in theory anyway smile.gif)

Best Buy is going to offer pre-orders only for Reward Zone Members. They will get an email "soon" I was told when I asked an employee last Tuesday. I hope he wasn't lying.

it has to be day one. when i got my first xbox i got it from best buy day one. there are no 24/7 walmarts around me for some reason. i never really liked pre orders always have a bad time with them. as much as i dont like them i would rather try to be safe but just cuz i pre order doesnt mean ill end up getting one.

aepuppetmaster that day is a holiday. everyone at work knows i wont be there that day. i know they will try to get as many systems as they can out but i think no matter how many i think they will sell out.

yeah u maybe right bout there being a rush, but 3 plants churning those things out, granted for all the world (but basically europe and north america).  not to mention the fact that they will be building them in antsipation.  i remeber reading in the newz paper that they had this whole thing planed out.  like i said 3 factories, and a great distribution scem, i think there plaing deliveries at least 2wice a week if not 3 times.  but ur right, iono what i was thinking, i must play quake 4 release day  <drowls on self>, who gives a fuck bout school and sleep!!!!!!

Honestly why not get the budle, you get an extra control if I understand correctly, (which is wireless, 30-40 bucks) and you get a HD to save your games so you dont need a mem card, another 30 bucks. I know you get some more items in the bundlle but those 2 reasons alone in my mind make the bundle worth it. Yes there is still a 30-40 dollar difference, but when you get a game that requires the HD or need a 2nd card BAM.

No bundle Option From ritz camera.  $20 more than retail, but no tax, depending where u live it could be cheaper to buy from ritz, but u must consider shipping.

mine would cost 426.00 with tax here in St.Paul  MN
