Amazon Fail August Pre-Order Consumers But Give September
Amazon has caused a major stir in the Xbox 360 pre-order community. It appears they have cocked-up their pre-orders for mainly August/September pre-orders. Consumer who ordered later are gaining preference over those who pre-ordered from August and September.
Alot of the Xbox 360 pre-order community very irrate and hence a number of fourms have long threads complaining about the lack of information or guarantee from Amazon they will get there console before christmas.
Due to this huge issue, fellow pre-orderer has created a web site (http://www.digidots.co.uk/amazon.php) dedicated to log consumers who have this problem. Currently registered are 390 consumers of which 75% are within the last 2wk of August pre-order dates have had consoles going to laterer pre-orderers, clearly not first come, first serve.
The BBC and IT Vibe have now picked up this news story and is covering Amazon repsonses.
I strongly recommend all who pre-ordered from 17th August to mid September to sign the petition mentioned above.
