Yeah, it comes w/ Madden, a Faceplate, an extra wireless controller, a $10 Panini bread company Gift card, and a $15 Cinemark Movie Gift card. All this, plus the Party in a box w/ free soda, shirts, hats, etc... and did I mention, 3 days early.

If what basically amounts to a 200 dollar premium is worth having a 3 day jump on most people, then more power to you. I personally think it borders on ridiculous, even more so since you are still going to end up camping overnight for at least 1 more. To each their own, though, and congrats on not having to worry anymore, man.

Re: Best buy..whose camping out there?

Well, the way I see it is...

$400 Premium System
$60 Madden game
$50 Extra Wireless Controller
$20 Extra Faceplate
--------------------------
$530 Total
+ 32 Tax
--------------------------
$562 Total Cost

Now, I only paid $138 more than that to get mine 3 days early. I also got the 4 shirts, 4 hats, etc... as well as a $10 Panini Gift Card (Fiance loves this place), $15 Cinemark Movie Card (There's a local one)...

I have already sold 2 of the hats for $10 a piece ($20 Total) and two of the shirts for $7 a piece ($14).

Therefore $138 minues the $34 from 2 shirts/hats, and $35 for the Gift Cards... I paid a grand total of $69 more for mine to have it 3 days early. That, and the fact that I still have 2 more shirts/hats to sell. At first, I thought it was rediculous, but then as I started to ponder more, I seen it wasn't too bad of a deal at all.

And yes, I am going to still camp to get at least one more to help out at least one person on this site who can't get one... and another to sell on eBay, to make up for some of that whopping $69 that I lost by getting one 3 days early

All in all, not too shabby.

Yeah, I guess you're right. If you don't mind the camping out part, then it really isn't a big deal at all, since you are already starting to make some of your money back on the hats and shirts, and if you get an extra X360, especially if you can ebay it, you are gonna end up sitting pretty. Making money and playing Madden 3 days before the rest of us, ya bastard. LOL.

As this launch kept getting closer, I realized more with each passing day just how much I did NOT want to have to camp out again. I did it for like 11 hours for the PS2, and while it was kind of fun, it was loooong and cold.

:y4: Ya Bastard... lol.

Yeah, I knew what you meant though SportsorDeath. It took me forever to make a decision to purchase it. Now, I'm definately glad I did. It seems like I'm WAY overpaying, but in reality, it's a good deal.
