Best Buy Apologizes For 360 Bundles
drScott2 writes "During the launch of the Xbox 360, some Best Buy stores created bundles of Xbox 360s and accessories, and would not sell the Xbox by itself. Thus, if you wanted to buy an Xbox 360 you had to buy the accessories too. The president of Best Buy has officially offered an apology. From the Brian Dunn's letter: 'I'm writing to apologize. While all of us at Best Buy were thrilled to be part of the recent launch of Microsoft's Xbox 360 video game system - one of the most anticipated events in the history of electronic gaming - the launch did not go as we had hoped.'"
$100+ purchases? What do I care? Any receipt for less than a grand or two gets tossed the moment it is handed to me. Are you poor or something?
The scope of politics shrink to the point where major parties have only minor differences, quibbling over how they think the jacket should be adjusted.
For America to rise back to the great core that it's forefathers founded, 2 things must happen:
1) there must be multiple political parties (not just 2)
and
2) the Executive branch of government must become a committee, not just a single person.
The current "administration" has demonstrated that a single point of failure is not the American way. We don't settle for failure in our critical systems, why should be settle for it in our current Commander-in-Chief (whom never really served in the miliary)?
Don't think that a small group of dedicated individuals can't change the world. It's the only thing that ever has.
"no matter where you went you HAD to buy a bundle." Oh snap, you mean they found out a way to make you lose the choice of not buying a damn thing at all?

The people responsible for apologizing for the first apology have been sacked.
No unauthorized use. Trespassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again.
