Best Buy achieves maximum suckage
First, there was the 2nd launch thing that Best Buy did this morning. All over the country, people waiting out in the cold all night to fight over a couple dozen consoles.

Then, Best Buy put XBOX 360s on sale on their website at 7:30 AM EST which was 30 minutes before the first schmuck in line in the Eastern time zone got his/her hands on the console that they just lost 3 toes over. If I were one of those suckers who braved the cold all night, I would be super p!ssed to find out that I could have ordered one online.

To make matters worse (I guess they are making it "worser" at this point), Best Buy didn't have the consoles that they sold online in stock! So all of the people who ordered are now on backorder. Best Buy has all of their credit card info, but they don't have the product.

After all of the other bad experiences I've had with Best Buy prior to the 360 launch (bad product info, super-aggressive warranty upsells), I think I will avoid them in the future, especially since places like Circuit City price match and offer a 30-day money back guarantee.
