Pre-order the Xbox 360
EBGames.com is taking pre-orders for the Xbox 360, and just like when the PSP came out they're doing their best to gouge all the bleeding edge gamers who want/need to have the console first by forcing you to purchase either a $700 "Ultimate Bundle" that comes with four games and a ton of accessories or a $600 "Core Bundle" which comes with the same four games but fewer accessories. Pre-ordering either the basic $299 console or even the $399 bundle simply isn't an option, at least not at the moment, though it remains to be seen what pre-order options other retailers end up offering.
