Where is Reggies in the land of Xbox?

[KirPlunk]

No one can answer me straight about why did Reggies stop selling Xbox 360 consoles, controllers and games?

I was told by the "lady" behind the Reggies counter when I insisted on an explanation that the xbox360 "Did not do well" .....

Ja right! Real reason please!?

Reggies, Toy R us , stopped supplying x360 hardware because of the RROD situation and music for pleasure or the more commonly known name of mi digital, could not replace the units without months of delays and stalling causing lotsa bad rep amongst its customers.

that's the reason why.

It depends on what this "lady" meant when she said "Did not do well".

If she was refering to sales, then she was wrong.
If she was refering to hardware, then she was spot on.

What is the general feeling about this move?
I think it's pathetic.... why can all the other retailers sell them?

PLUS

These are toy stores.... how can they not sell the biggest selling toy of all time?

Oh well.

 

[noxibox]

Just don't shop there, for anything, and let them know why.

Reggies are terrible at everything they do and have no idea about things they sell and not to mention ignorant, same goes for Toys r Us which is owned by the same people.
I remember the Reggies at the La Lucia Mall used to sell pirated SNES games and NTSC Playstaion 1 games, before they closed down.

Personally dont care if reggies has it or not...
They never have competitive pricing on any of their gaming products and nothing so special that you can only get it from them. In a mall there will always be another store that sells the same things anyways

Reggie and Toys r us both dropped the xbox 360 due to the hardware problems (RRoD), they got fed up of constantly doing swop outs.

 

[KirPlunk]

Death to Reggies in other words?

What I don't understand is the excellent magazine marketing they had going a while back.

they had an add for "gaming" that looked like a screenshot of a FSP... the dude had a trollie infront him with a "shop gauge" and the works... was really a superb gaming add.

The RROD situation is capably handled by yours truly

Reggies & Toys R Us are as useless as it comes. I shudder to think that my parents bought toys for me there back in the day

The Xbox is ****!

I think the truth is that MI Digital are to blame.

You can't expect to run a business when your clients are forced to wait 2 months or so just to get their product back.

Reggies isn't great, but MI Digital are pathetic.

Bad combination.

I bought my Wii from them.

 

[maestro_za]

I imported my Wii. NTSC-J. R2k in total.

Japanese menus but games play in English ... LOL ...

Reggies = EPIC FAIL
The last time I bought a game from them was when I had a mega drive and I bought Urban Strike back in 1995(I think)

Still looks awesome!:
