Im just suprised that every retailer didnt bundle. Had I been in charge of a retail chain I would have bundled the 360 too. The 360 was going to sell out regardless, might as well bundle it and maximize your profits.

before the advent of the internet and the ensuing public outcries, retailers used to do this sort of thing all the time and actually get away with it. did you think this was something they just made up randomly? NOPE!

thanks to sites like joystiq for shining the spotlight on some of the more shadier practices, maybe we can kill these policies once and for all.

A copy of this letter is linked to in a popup on the Best Buy website. Go to http://www.bestbuy.com/site//olspage.jsp?id=pcmcat66900050001&type=category and click on the image titled "Open letter to our Xbox 360 customers".

The Best Buy letter is actually up on their website. The most important bit of news is his invitation in the letter to visit their stores "later in the month" when they will have a new supply of consoles. This lends further evidence to the rumor of a December 18th "second launch."

I'm hoping this isnt just for Best Buy. I imagine it will be for other retailers like Eb Games, Walmart and Gamestop. Anybody have any info on other retailers?

And for those of you that waited outside and showed up with just enough money to buy the advertised core model, Best Buy would like to extend to you a heartfelt middle finger

BB should have just captioned it. We are sorry (that we got caught) forcing the bundle. You should have bought the extended care package.That way you could get refunds easier. But i would never force that on you (unless you want service from us.) Oh and don't forget most of the prices in our ad, refer to the AOL discount. No AOL no discount. Thanks for everything suckers. Signed Best Buy.
