Anyone else pre-order the Xbox One from Walmart?
In July I pre-ordered the Day One Edition with a 12 month XBL code and CoD: Ghosts. Ghosts arrived today, and it says my 12 month XBL code will arrive "on or shortly after 11/22/13."
However, the Xbox One's scheduled delivery is "on or shortly after 11/29/13."

Is this a bug in the system or is Walmart really this pathetic?

Edit: My friend said he bought the regular edition of the console and it is scheduled to arrive on Monday, November 25th.
That is 4 days earlier than my order, which was the Day One Edition.
LOL
 
I'm sure its microsoft more than walmart. WalMart has big purchasing power. This means they get what they want. If walmart wanted those consoles ON launch day theyd have them. This is going to be something on MS's end.

This makes a lot of sense yeah. Walmart could very easily have release date shipping if they really wanted it.
I am soooooooo jelly of Amazon users who are garaunteed release date delivery though. I know I shouldn't be pissed I'm getting a new console, but it's gonna be so much more painful knowing the console is already out and my day one edition is a week from shipment.
 
thats kinda gay..... i tend to avoid walmart for any of the game stuff..
i think my line would be:
gamestop
amazon
bestbuy target
walmart

in that order... walmart just dosn't seem to care about customer service at all. all those pre order cards and very little instore pickup or release date..

dont point the finger at microsoft on this. microsoft has already fullfilled its shipping numbers. as in its at distributors waiting to be sent its up to the companies holding them to specify when they can be released and on what shipping time frame. this is why amazon and the mail order systems have been updating money is pulled from accounts and shipping lables are printed and in processing. at this point its who you pre ordered from and how they handle it.

That does suck. I preordered my system from a Walmart store. I'm, hopefully, guaranteed to receive it on 12:01am 11/22. It's a shame you can't have it shipped to a store.
