[quote name='Indiana']So now MS wants me to pay $399.99 for this system and it doesn't include the DVD remote? Is MS just dumb? Why would I pay the same price for less product?
The remote was never intended to be in the premium package. The remote was a bonus for buying the system. That bonus has now ended.

I guess I will be waiting for the price drop to $299.99 or a bundle that includes a premium system, 2 controllers, and a game for $399.[/QUOTE]

I went to Walmart at my in-laws in central Ohio New Years Day at 11:00 and the person who pulled into the parking lot right before me bought the last Premium system, and a few minutes later someone bought the last core...I got my system last week, I was looking for a friend...but for them to last that long is pretty amazing.
Went to my local WallyWorld on the first. I wasnt looking for one, just happend to ask and they had some in, this was at like 3 in the afternoon. So I bought a premium. Took it home, set it up, tried to play and it wouldnt read the game. Damn it to hell!! I called to see if they had anymore in stock cause I was gonna go exchange it, nope they didnt. They had just sold their last premium but they had 6 core left, this was around 5pm. Well I call Microsoft, was talking to the guy, he said they would ship me a box and blah blah blah. So I am sitting here still waiting for my box. You know the worst thing is, I could justify spending $437 if there was some kind of instant gratification, but there is not so know I am going over why the heck did I spend the money, I should have just waited till the next launch. Oh my system was made in late October too. So I am one of the 1 in 100 that have a problem with the system. Go figure thats the way my luck goes.
Oh one more thing I thought was kinda funny. While I am talking the this Kid on the phone about the system, yes he was a kid, only 19 fresh out of high school. Yes he gave me his life story. Anyway, back to the story.... He told me that Microsoft still had "tons" of core systems just sitting in the warehouse. Microsoft underestimated the demand for the Core system and that they still had they just sitting there. To me that is funny. Leave it to Microsoft.

Why didnt you just ask if you could trade just the system with one from a Core box?

[quote name='DX']Whats truly odd is the fact that they have been register locked for over a week.[/QUOTE]
Do you mean that they werent allowed to sell them during that time?
That doesnt seem to be completely true. I bought one and so did a friend on 12/27 at the same Walmart.
