    Re: Reports: Toys R Us now taking 360 preorders in-store

    pretty nice, but i'd definitely wanna change the games. i called my local toys r' us and they said that they haven't started taking them yet, and they won't until they know the exact number of systems that they're recieving. they really ****ed up when the ps2 released, and they don't wanna make the same mistake of taking more preorders than they can supply.

      I just went and pre-ordered the exact same bundle as Holic.

      My local store will be getting 8. An employee snagged the first one and I got the second.

        I'd do it in a heartbeat but not with those games. Have to be like NBA 2k6 and PGR 3 before I'd do it. NBA Live looks terrible--no way I'd buy a bundle with that in it on principle alone.

          That's why I'll sell it on Ebay, or try to exchange it.
          I just called my local TRU, and they are indeed taking pre-orders. I'll head up there in about a hour.

            The reason I didn't mind the bundle is because Madden and Kameo are some of the games I was planning on getting. Now I'll just pick my other games up from somewhere, and I'm all set. As for NBA Live 06, I'm probably going to keep it, if it gets decent reviews from a good buddy of mine on here, along with others. If not, I'll trade it in at Toys R Us.

            I'm fixing to head back down to talk to the manager, and see what I can do about swapping games. I'll post what I find out.

              Does TRU offer a extended warranty?

              i remember hearing about a year ago, that they might be going out of business.

              possibly worth the risk, if they're able to get all these presales

                Just got back baby! First of all thanks to ZXLT for posting this, AWESOME FIND!

                The manager told me if there are games you don't like, you can exchange them with a gift receipt. I'm not really sure what that means...Anyone?

                Anyways, I got the big mama bundle. Comes w/ wired controller, but no biggy, whatever comes in the bundle, I'll probably sell most of it on Ebay and get the games I want. At least I'll have the console itself on launch.

                    Did anyone mention if these Xbox 360's are the $400 type, not the core system??

                    I did call Toys R Us by me and the girl did not know. By the way, my Toys R Us is not opening until 9am Tuesday usual business hours, no midnight release.

                      I'm pretty sure it's the premium Xbox. I don't think any stores were taking preorders for the core system. I'm leaving in about 30 minutes to grab one.

                        Gift receipt = gift card = store credit.

                        Steve, you could use the wired controller on your PC. It uses a standard USB connection. MS will offer the driver to download if you need it, but I wouldn't be surprised if XP auto-detects it.

                          Sully please let me know when you get back, my store has 9 orders left.

                          Thanks

                            Man. I want to check this out, but I'm way out of my area until tomorrow. If I see the $600 bundle, I'll snag it and save my self a cold night of waiting in line.

                              Of course my TRU is crap and they are not taking any preorders. I don't understand why.

                                I confirmed with them that it is the PREMIUM Xbox.

                                I was able to preorder the $609 bundle. They were only doing 8 preorders at my store (Roseville, CA) and I was #3. Thank you for the info or I would have never known they were doing this.
