Non-bundle Xbox 360 pre-order deal back in stock

I would recommend checking them out on resellerratings.com before telling people to buy from them.

Price over the recommended retail price, what's the deal with that ?.
I sweden i preorder the platinum system without any handdown payment or bundle.

Why would anyone pay more for the basic console packages?? The Costco pre-orders while they lasted actually were cheaper than buying the components seperately, and those components were definitely something almost everyone would buy - an extra wireless controller, and a Play&Charge kit, along with PGR3 (well, not every X360 buyer might want this game, which is really dumb BTW).

If anyone is interested, you can also pre-order the console only package at your local GameRush/BlockBuster store by paying $100 upfront, and the difference when you pickup the console at launch time. Pretty good deal, if you ask me. You will only pay the MS suggested retail price of $399 or $299 depending on your choice of the console SKU.

Too bad they don't have in-store pick-up.
There could be a 10-day delay between the time it launches and the time you get it.

Before you order from Ritz, inform yourself! Link Provided!

It is actually about 3 dollars cheaper if you order it online than if you purchase it in a store. The sales tax is not included so it pays for itself. I guess it depends what state you live in but in California where I live you break even about. %8.75 taxes...

Thanks for the reminder, CheapyD. (Someone remembered! =) Looks like it's been acknowledged.

You still can't find many consoles-only being sold anywhere, except for B&M stores. However, the bundles are getting to be very plentiful and they are actually shipping... this stockwatch board was lighting up green all day long yesterday:
