Less Than 25% of GameStop Preorders Filled

Filed in archive Xbox 360 on January 21, 2006

I feel so bad for those people who threw down an absurd amount of money for one of GameStop's bundles. Remember their bundles started out around $700 and topped out at over $2,000. With the holiday season winding down, there is less pressure to get the bundle out immediately, but I'd still be pretty upset if a console I preordered and expected to get on November 22nd, hasn't arrived yet. It's tough to decide exactly who it is that gamers should be mad at, GameStop didn't oversell preorders intentionally, and Microsoft didn't plan on having the shortages that they are experiencing.

No matter how you dice it, I'm glad I got in on the first shipment.

Sorry, guys.
