Best Buy Apologizes For 360 Bundles

Posted by Zonk on Wednesday December 7, 2005 @11:45AM from the better-late-than-never dept.

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.'"

Doesn't EB still do this? by thundar2000 · 2005-12-07 13:53 · Score: 5, Interesting

I tried to order an xbox at ebgames.com - and all they would sell me was a bundle.

I did this with the PSP, and got burned big time (all the games were very bad indeed)

So now, instead of having a pre-orded xbox because I wanted to avoid the bundles, I have a brand new DS with Mario Kart. And you know, I think I may be happier.
