Default Walmart or Target

Where would you go if you had to pick one of these stores. Why?

I am a Walmart man. I like the 90 day warrenty on all electronics that comes for free.

I'm going to BestBuy. They normally give away free giftcards when you buy extras with your purchase at these launches. When I bought halo2 the offered a $20 certificate if I bought a Live kit with it. I'm guessing walmart and target won't be giving away gift cards.

Well like I have said many times before. GameStop is messed up, I reserved it there and they told me I would get the first shipment and then two weeks ago they said I was getting second shipment. So I am going to Wal-Mart three hours early and wait in line for the 360.

I say walmart, cheap stuffs (mainly because they move all their factories to 3rd world countries and ppl work for 3 bucks a day or less) and even cheaper stuffs. Also because there are some open 24 hrs a day

Well mine is reserved, but I think walmart is very unorganized and tons of people will be there, I honestly dont think many people will 'attack' target

Wink Wal-Mart is the best choice

Wal-Mart lets you know how many they will be getting in stock. This allow you to choose if you think you will be able to grab one or not. They have warranties on all the electronics they sale. That warranty last for 90 days.
Sometimes Wal-Mart stays open late just to sell the new demanding product that has just came in. My mom works at Wal-Mart and they gone have there systems in the store on the 14.

Yeah...just called 2 of my area Walmarts. They said they wouldn't know exactly how many they were getting until 3-4 days before the release. But likely to be less than 20 units. And they sell at midnight. going there for sure.

So. I still like it. Target isn't really my style. I buy game systems at Walmart and go to Targer for appliances (Magic Bullet).

I'm going to Wal-Mart. There are five Wal-Marts closer to me than the closest Target. Also the Wal-Mart closest to me has a ton of my friends working on the midnight release so that's a plus.

Also, Target charges more for their stuff than Wal-Mart so screw em.

this may sound stupid but, I'm thinking of getting my 360 from COSTCO they have a life time warranty on all their hardware and u don't need your recite either. I got a lot of hardware form Costco and they treat people pretty good here.

And I hate Wal-Mart they have cheap stuff yes but at what cost, plus the way they treat their employs pisses me off.
