GameStop stoops to BestBuy-style tactics on XBox 360

It seems that the debacle of the XBox 360 rollout is not so much Microsoft (as much as I dislike the company) but rather its resellers. Now GameStop is causing pain to consumers by routing new XBox 360s to high-profit bundles that you can buy on their website NOW, rather than existing pre-orders placed as long ago as July 2005. While this all may be legal, it is leaving an extremely bad taste in the mouth of buyers. If Sony can avoid these kinds of problems with the PlayStation 3 rollout next year, they may wind up beating Microsoft because of reasons that have nothing to do with technical superiority or product availability.
