Just so you know, the two times my 360 was processing at GS it lasted 24 hours. (The first time the rest of the bundle shipped but not the unit itself.)

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????

Early Sunday morning, got my confirmation number and everything. Order still says processing. I am going to cancel it if it's not shipped by tomorrow.

Exactly... it's all about supply and demand.

That doesn't make it any less slimey. Aren't you glad that doctors don't do that. I could just see emergency rooms where people have to bid the highest to see the doctor. "Who'll give me a $1000 to stop the bleeding? Do I hear $1100?"

Scalping is the lowest of the low. That's why you always see bottom feeders outside of stadiums doing it. And society doesn't approve of it, that's why it's illegal in most places.

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

Beandip and I were shooting the shit with one of the BB workers yesterday and he said they have a "Huge" order in that he says should be there around the first week of january. But he could be a complete jackass; take it for what it's worth I guess.

No need to explain. If you want 2, you can get 2. It's your right as a consumer.

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.

You're lucky! My Gamestop 360 has a tracking #, but the UPS site says that they don't have the package yet. This is ridiculous, the mailed this Sunday and I expected to have it today. I have no idea when this will arrive. After spending $1K, is it too much to ask for them to send out my stuff when they have it in stock? This is the last time I order from these bozos.

Mine has them (although, my store has a GameRush with it also). They have about ONE copy of each launch title though. (I think they have every game...not sure)

That's the thing. It hasn't even shipped yet. So it's not like I am watching for the UPS guy.

I got an email that said they had a problem processing my order, and it'd be processed ASAP. Nothing about when they'd ship.

Sounds like more waiting for me.
