I don't recall when the robot said it would be available, I sorta just zoned out in disbelief. The final call came around a little later, stating that my pre-ordered 360 would not be available until early 2006. What??? Now I'm sad and mad; mostly mad. I traded in my old unit, along with all my accessories and games to help pay for the new Xbox. The employees at my local GameStop even asked if I was coming in to pick up my console at the midnight party. I said I didn't know, but now that I'm screwed and not going to get my console I can't find a reason to go. I might stand in line at Best Buy and see if I can get a console there, but I'm made because I can't get a refund at GameStop sense my trade-in was for store credit. While, I'm glad the robot called I don't think I'll be buying any more consoles and maybe not even games at GameStop or EB for that matter. I wonder how many angery customers there are like me.
