If it's your money, why would she care what you buy with it (especially if it's a better version of the same product)?

Please don't get this started again

Why wait for only Gamestop? Why not try doing the preorder layaway option at Walmart?

Umm, get what started again? This is the first time I've asked, and as far as I can tell, it's never been brought up before (at least on this thread), so I don't see how I'm starting anything up.

I'm just genuinely curious.

I went over to Wal-Mart they have the Delu><e only. It didn't take that long and I think the minimum you have to put down is like 45. Just make sure you don't pay the whole thing yet. Leave at least 1 cent to pay when you pick it up. They will have it at midnight.

It's in-store only.

Why not pay in full? I have mine fully paid for at gamestop, why is it bad?

That's just how the program/system works. It's suppose to be a layaway. I am just talking about Wal-Mart though.

to me i wouldnt pay in full just in case something happened with the pre order and could get a refund type stuff but thats just me :P

but anyway so question guys for those who pre ordered at walmart do you have to pick it up at midnight or can you pick it up during the day and still get a copy of that console before everyone goes crazy and get theres at midght and i wait till the morning when the store opens xD

As far as the Walmart layaway. They will keep a reserved copy for you until mid-December. You can pick yours up anytime from Nov. 18 till then.

At GS today, I saw a notice about the wait list. Apparently it will work like this: If you want a basic bundle, the moment the next one comes in and you are on the list, they will preorder it for you for 48 hours, meaning no more sudden sell outs like with the wii. Yay!

ok thank you! (:

i went a head and pre ordered on walmart today and such kinda didnt get to ask a question(but it just got answered here) since the person who worked there didnt know much :( but at least i got mine for sure (i left $43 and i was told they were charging me $5 for having the item in layaway)

but i did ask at GS before that a few more questions about the waiting list and basically what they told me if the following

who ever is on the list they will go down by each name and call when they re stock and have some available and you have 48 hrs to either go to the store or such if you dont then they skip over you and when they get more they come back to you and if you still dont get yours they take you off and continue with the list and so on o.o seems simple i guess but theres no guarantee that it be at launch or when after launch that they have some

This wait list is bugging me now again...

I was probably about 10 or 15th place in my store (Got on the day after the preorders sold out), and thursday they claimed I just signed up, and I can't get one till after christmas now from them. That's stupid that they did that!
