    Cheets,

    I'm almost sure 'ignorate' is not a real word.

    Maybe get a dictionary next?

    i pre-ordered 2 360 prem packs way back in august, i knew there would be a demand, and shame on the people trying to go to asda at 12.

    i saw it coming, and i knew i could sell one on for a nice profit.

    What an a**ehole you are, get a life!

    well people have been ignorate towards the 360 for months, so why should they seem to think they can get one today, when its been over 3 months since pre-orders started.

    Fair play to you, i knew that there would be this problem after the ps2 came out and people were paying fortunes for them.

    Just looking on ebay and some people are buying xbox 360`s for well over 1000quid!!! One i saw went for £1200 !!!! Thats nearly a grand profit for the person who bought that one on pre-order.

    Nice to see that people still buy for profit .I hope you spare a minute and think of all those who cant afford to pay £550 and will have dissapointed children .You have just deprived somebody of a console through greed . SAD

    :mad:

    If people want to rub other peoples noses in there greed why not set up a gloaters board and they can all compare profit

    Son phoned Asda last night at 9pm to ask if they would be on sale from midnight. Reply: "Don't bother, they've been queueing here since 10 this morning!!" He has had one pre-ordered elsewhere for months and got a call to say they wouldn't be able to deliver in time for christmas. So there you go. Another christmas fiasco with kids and big kids left high and dry. And poor parents chasing their tails to avoid disappointing their loved ones.

    Spoils the whole christmas for some.
