F**k Micro$haft, XBox360, Game Publishers and Resellers...

[RC45]

We went XBox360 shopping today - I have a chance to purchase a $399.00 setup, for - well $399.00.

But first we went off on a mission to "try before we buy" - to see what the new titles are ike tec etc etc.

[rant on]
Well - new policy supposedly came down from Micro$haft, GameStop Cprp, EB Games Corp etc etc etc.

No opening of ANY XBox 360 titles unless sold.

Not even for in store demos or in stor display

WTF is up with that?

I never bought a PS2 or XBox game that wasn't first cracked open, placed in the in-store console and tried out for a bit...

Or, the stores would have a couple game consoles setup with games all ready to sample.

Well - e tried 5 GameSTops 4 EB Games and a Replay (or somthing like that) game store..... NONE are allowed to open or otherwise show XBox 360 titles - unless you buy it first.

Bottom line....

Fuck these publishers, vendors and resellers....

I will buy the entire kit used from someone at a later date - they are not getting my money for new purchases again.

How stupid - XBox 360 is supposed to be the hottests thing since Pam Andersons tits, and you cnnot play an in-store demo of PGR3 unless you pay for it first.

What a load of crap.
