you know, I didn't even think to remove any of the games i didn't want. I was too busy trying to key in my CC info and all. A co-worker who sits behind me had one in his cart, but could not check out .. kept getting a busy message. I wonder if he will still have it in there.

Everything but the console arrived on Tuesday, and I returned all of it except for Madden 06 without any problems. The console is arriving today - it's out for delivery at the moment, according to FedEx's website.

That is messed up about returning everything. Makes you wonder if there is any point to it at all for all the retailers if they are just taking everything back anyway.

I would think most big businesses can do this.

I just happened to check the tracker at Ben's Bargains, I saw that CC had the premium system in stock, but once I tried to add it to my cart it was sold out.
Then went back to the tracker and the CC bundle had a timeout or error message next to it. I clicked it and there it was available. Just got lucky I guess. It seems like everywhere is starting to get more in with all the activity lately so just keep checking.

San Diego Fry's has them hiding in the back. I got one BUT it's a bundle:
Buy an Xbox Premium
Plus 4 games of your choosing
Plus an additional wireless Controller
So Xbox +Kameo + Condemned + Tony Hawk + Perfect Dark Zero limited + controller was $732.64 with tax.
You'll have to ask the employees to write up a quote as the systems are locked up.
Don't ask why i wasn't at work. And I sold it to my friend for the exact cost. His preorder never came in.
