1) Buy one.
2) Take home and open box carefully, with scalpel so not to break the seal.
3) Replace new unit with broken one.
4) Take back with receipt (taking advantage of 30day return policy)
5) Tell them your grandad thought he was too old for it

i think i will be pre-ordering my PS3 though.
X-boxs are going for around £400 on ebay (if you can show your pre-order reciept). IF you've paid £270 (??) for one thats pre-ordered and sold it on ebay already your laughing.

most people that are on waiting list have said yes to one on the phone, and then come in to say they didnt want a core after thinking about it

I could have had 2.
Was at pcworld.
They only had cores, guy told me ms hadn't released the premium yet 
Went to another one after that but the deal was shit and only cores again.
