OK, well after several phonecalls and nasty emails, it looks as if it got shipped after all, and today. According to amazon.com, it was shipped today, about 30min ago, and should be delivered in 3-5 days. So, not bad. I hope I end up getting what I ordered and it indeed is what I was told.

What I was told I was going to get was:

Xbox 360 Halo 3 Edition
I was also told that it will have the full manufactures' warranty, so rrod. And that the item itself was not tampered with, it is not a used item as listed, but only a damaged box item.

So if I don't get this, I was told I could return for a full refund and free return shipping. And I will send it back if it doesn't meed my expectations.

I'll update when I get it...








I just ordered the 360 halo edition, damaged box, warranty, untampered.... for $278-30 amazon student visa. So $248.. Well the super saver shipping for that item was well over a week and my expected recieve date was too long, so I decided to change shipping to standard and it was only 4 dollars so I said why not. What I did not notice is that the expected date went up, way up. Nearly a month to June 19-23. So...WTF. I called them up and the guy said it was because when you change your shipping you go to the back of the line. How is that possible, there was only one of the thing I ordered and the site says sold out now. So unless someone ordered it at the exact same moment... didn't happen. I ordered it first if someone did order it somehow... I am hoping that I just messed up my own order and that I am behind, myself in line.

Has this happened to anyone else? I am very confused.

And if someone else is getting the item now. How the hell can you sell 2 of an item that only existed as one. And how can you go to the back of the line, just for changing your shipping option. The whole idea of that, is to get it faster, not pay more just so you can wait an extra month. They better fix this shit...

What may have happened is that there were two items on the warehouse store. One was an open box item, listed at $350 and then the one I ordered, which was $315. Maybe the guy doing the orders grabed the wrong one and now the one I ordered is missing... IDK, I'm just trying to rationalize this shit out...

About the Halo 3 consoles, are they falcon ones or what? Because I am in a position to buy one for around $290 shipped, and new... Should I jump on this?????

Yes, I believe the Halo3 editions were the first falcons to come to the market, that being said, the falcons are still known to have problems, just less problems than the "normal" 360's (however, less of them do exist in the market)

if you can get one for 290 I'd say go for it regardless if its a falcon or not (although I'm pretty sure they all are)

PS. I like your Sig, OldBoy was a pretty damn good movie, had one of the best fight scenes I've seen)

OK thanks alot, I just wanted a confirm. Actually it will be much cheaper. I founf my gift card so now after everything it will be $248 before tax, shipped. I got it from the amazon warehouse site. I wouldn't have gotten it unless I had the gift certificates, but I did so it came out to be really cheap...

The customer service rep told me that it had the full manufacturers' warranty, so If I get it and find out it doesn't, than back it goes... But right now I am pretty happy with it...

One new thing with my order. Since the order was resolved and it has now been shipped. One weird thing is that the "name" of the item I ordered has seemed to change, not a lot, but its not the same as before. Also when I go into my account and click on the item name link it takes me to the 360 halo edition sold on amazon, new, not the warehouse item. Could they have sent me a new one since they f*cked up. They keep sending me emails apologizing and stuff.
