Now I'm pissed at them for another reason: They assigned a tracking # over 24 hours ago, and UPS still doesn't have the package. I paid for overnight shipping, and I was hoping to get it today, but would settle for Tuesday. Now it looks like it'll be Wed. at the earliest. Why has it been sitting on their dock for a day????

It's a few notches below "Used Car Salesmen". Fuck that shit.

My gamestop.com order has shipped. Everything except for Call of Duty 2 that is. It is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. They must be real slow at updating their site. At midnight it still said "processing". 3:30 am, shipped. Happy days for me.

But then again "Ticket Brokers", who often have offices right across from the stadiums while selling tickets for inflated prices, are "legit". Frankly I see no difference between them and the serious street sellers trying to make a buck. Granted, the laws against scalping using involve selling on stadium property.
Supply and demand, supply and demand...

Apparently there's some people at FW that used some sort of trick to order from Best Buy and they got them to ship their systems. That sucks if that's true, since I ordered normally. My order still hasn't shipped.
Actually, some people are having the same problem as me, it looks like.

"we should have them in stock if your order says waiting to be fulfilled. we wouldnt leave it that way for a long time...Its either backordered or being fulfilled."
i just think alot of people ordered and you are just in the line of people ...
