Just plan to go to Wal-Mart or Target or some other big box retailer on release day. I'm sure places like Sears, K-Mart, etc. will have a few too. Don't play the game specialty retailer's game.

I think they do that because they make the most money when you buy software.

His name is Dopeyfish. And when it comes to discussing the Xbox 360, logic is his fiercest adversary.

I bet the margins on the accessories is high too, especially the cheepy 3rd party ones. IIRC, the number of systems a store gets in the second shipment is dependent on how many games per console sold so the bundles ensure a higher tie in rate.

Definitely, they love when they can get that madcatz crap out the door. I'm sure accessories are huge too.
