Well, I got totally screwed by Circuit City last night. I was #11 in line, out of 14 Premium consoles. After waiting for an hour, the manager came out and posted a sign stating that only 3/14 of the premium consoles would be sold without a bundle. Everything else included a $90 two year warranty, and some games/accessories that I wasn't interested in. I refused to be extorted like that just because some manager saw people lining up and smelled a way to boost his sales by a couple bucks. (That CC is also losing an HDTV purchase from me, I'm done with them) In the hour that I wasted at CC, all the other retail locations filled up. Stopped at about 10 stores, in all cases the consoles were already spoken for. I think I'm going to write a nasty letter to the CC District Manager.

What a crappy night.
