Did they say how many they had in stock? And did you have to buy it as part of some crazy bundle?

Slado recall your store because alot of those names will be ones from after the deposit system ended so they may have picked up elsewhere in the meantime.

The store will call them and ask if they want one if they say no then the machine will become available for general sale m8

Thanks for the notice! I phoned around midday, the guy hadn't checked what was in the delivery but had a look and they'd had 2 premiums. He put one on one side for me and I picked it up a bit after. Wasn't any mention of bundles etc, could have got it without any games if I'd wanted.

There was a woman talking on her mobile outside the shop saying "tell him I tried to get one, they had two but they've been sold". She stood behind me looking as I said I'd had one reserved and come to pick it up.

And to think I was almost tempted just to get a core yesterday!

Game in Watford have them. Also if you pre-ordered one via the website you should be getting yours. Game Emailed me yesterday saying that they have some in stock. Here's the email I recieved.

Quote:
Dear Mr ****

Order number(s):
00000000/P

Great news! We have received a little extra stock of the Xbox 360 from Microsoft, this has been allocated on a first come, first served basis to the next group of customers on our preorder list.

I am pleased to inform you that your Preorder for Xbox 360 Console will be dispatched to you shortly!

Don't buy the BS that you have to buy the bundles.

Tell the store you have spoken to customer services and you are entitled to just buy the console. The lady I spoke to said to tell the store to phone customer services themselves, should they disagree.
