is MS intentionally tryin to upset people (regarding $50 mail in rebate)

There is a new $50 dollar mail in rebate for anyone who buys a xbox elite from sept 22 through oct 5...this seems like a great thing to do, but if u actually think about it i bet there are a bunch of upset people..why you ask??

A lot of people were waiting to purchase a new xbox when the rumored price cut to 299would take place, either bc they had a broken one or they had not yet purchased one... so whenpeople hearda rumor of the elite dropping in price they waited to purchase one...the day it turned 299 im sure a bunch of people bought one thinking they got a great deal (which they did sort of)...now only 22 days later basically they are offering a 50 dollar rebate, and all the people who had waited to buy a new one just got hosed out of 50 bucks...microsoft knows they wont have to shell out to many of these rebates bc a lot of ppl who were in the market to get a 360 lately already bought one 3 weeks ago...F U microsoft

All reputable stores have 30 day return policies

Buy a new 360 and return it with the old slip then use the new slip to take advantage of the rebate

Perfectly within the rules

I don't understand anyone being upset of them doing this within the 30 days since the drop

There is no excuse to be angry

I'm not crazy mad about it but I have almost the exact issue except mines this:

I recently put money down on the MW2 250 gig 360 deal thinking that for the extra $100.00 I was getting

1. the MW2 game

2. 130 gb of extra space

3. an extra wireless controller

I rationalized out in my mind that it was indeed worth the extra $100.00. One day later they drop the price on the elite another $50.00, now i'm left trying to rationalize the stuff listed being worth an extra $150.00.

Yes this is how sales happen, but honestly I waited for the elite to go down to get one. Then it does go down and they release almost simultaniously release a MW2 deal that puts me right back up to $400.00 but worth it. Then they pull the rug out from under there just reduced elite cost by lowering it another $50.00 for a limited time.

I can't win.

Yeah I just bought a 360 a week ago and it all worked so i threw the box and everything away and now 50 dollars off **** you microsoft
