Personal Shopping at Toy R Us

[shadylane]

anyone heard of this? i went to toy r us to check some stuff out and i asked them about the xbox 360 and they said they have something on the third floor called personal shoppign which is kinda like a reserve...i went up there and checked it out and gave them my information. i'm 40 on the list so idk but i didn't know toy r us had reserves on systems like these.

You didn't know you could reserve a system at Toys R Us?

Cripes, they've been doing that for years, that's how I got the N64 on launch day..

they did that shortly so very few people have done it.

"personal shopping" means you are getting tampons or condoms or stuff like that.

That must be an interesting store.

Are you serious? How and when was this started. I checked my account online and there are no mentions of preordering X360. Can you explain how this works?

Offers to preorder the 360 on bby.com were mailed out to select Reward Zone Members who had "made recent and very specific purchases" on bestbuy.com. I think that's the quote that was used on the retail thing.

Aw that blows. Damn it, I didnt get an invite, I've been a member since the beginning and all I buy is games. Bastards.

What a bunch of bullshit. They could have let everyone have a shot at pre-ordering. Not everyone would have been able to buy one but at least you'd have a chance. Well I can at least quit checking my email now.

This is totally YMMV, Toys R Us here hasn't done reserves for any consoles since PS2.
