Buying more than 1 bundle?

[WTF]

Hey guys, I just purchased my second Xbox 360 bundle. I have one pre-ordered through Gamestop and the other through Wal-Mart.com. Has anyone else took the same approach I have? I think out of those two pre-orders, I have a really good shot at getting a 360 the day after launch I would think. If I find out for certain that I am getting one or the other, then I can cancel the other, or sell it at a later date, since I'd say they will be scarce around Christmas time.

My initial plans were to purchase one from Wal-Mart, and after I went to do so, it said "Out of Stock" so I purchased the bundle from Gamestop which didn't have any games taht I wanted. So I have still been checking Walmart.com, and lo and behold, they re-open the pre-orders and they are back in stock, so I configure it with the games I want. Has anyone else done the same?

Nah, ones enough for me. As for returning the games, great find that you can return the gamestop.com games (thats what I'm doing) to gamestop.com. I'll get the Bundle on the 23rd, mail them back the 25th, and should have my credit on my cc by the first or second week of December. And since you don't have to pay the CC until Dec 31, you won't be out any cash.

Re: Buying more than 1 bundle?

Yeah, exactly... I thought it was a pretty good idea. I'd say I'll end up cancelling the Wal-Mart one, although it has the games I want. I can take the 5 games from Gamestop and just send them back for re-imbursement and then just buy the games I want... Who knows... that's why I want everyone's opinion.

I'm sure I could get both of them, and make a killing on eBay, but that's not me, and it isn't right.

Yeah, with the shortage and everyhing. I find that the $100 bucks you'll end up making generally isn't worth the trouble. It's not like you're some 16 year old kid who needs to make cash that way.

I have reserved both at Wal-Mart and Gamestop and will keep them both reserved until until get an exact ship date from Wal-Mart.com. They have the bundle I want and it seems like a better deal. Gamestop is just a backup.
