Well if you had intended to buy the system, 8 games, a bunch of accessories, and done this all at the same time, you could save 60 bucks. But no one does this. What you have to understand about these high-priced bundles they sell online is they are intended to NOT SELL. It's the truth. Why go out to bestbuy at midnight, for most of the country it's cold at midnight in november, when you can order it online and have it next day without paying sales tax? All the stores realize this, and in order to make sure you take your ass into their brick-n-mortar stores, they only sell bundles online. If they have no pre-orders from online, that means more units for the stores.
EB can't compete against bestbuy if they don't have as many units in the store as possible. BB feels the same way against EB. This is how every console launch will be from now on, you'll have to go to the store to get it. That's fine with me, i'm just a little concerned about it being so close to christmas, some crazy people might get violent in the parking lots so I hope the stores have someone watching. Having a camera there for the police to look at AFTER the fact isn't good enough...
Launch day, you should be able to find one in your town. May not be the bestbuy/EB's, but kmart ,sears, etc...they should have it.
