Local Best Buy Racks Up On The Xbox 360
Here’s the story: The Best Buy ad said the new Xbox 360 would cost either $299 or $399, depending on the model. But when gamers got in line they were handed this flier stating that the ad was incorrect and they would have to buy the game system as a packaged deal with all kinds of extras, bumping the price up hundreds of dollars.
"I felt that they were cheating the customers. I had an 11-, 12-year-old child come up to me and say, 'I saved $400 — that’s all the money I have,'" Chris said."
I can’t even begin to comment on this.

I agree. This entire product launch is distgusting the way its been handled by everyone involved. To top it all off the product is defective and crashes on a regular basis.
I knew I wasn’t going to buy one right away… but after watching this fiasco, I doubt I will by a 360 until the thing is completely cracked and I can run XBMC on it.
