Why? I'm an original owner too, and I'm not upset about this and don't feel that it's owed to me either. I got exactly what I paid for. I didn't get short changed by T-Mobile. They provided me what they promised, and are free to change their packaging and accessories at any time. You buy an Xbox 360 as an early adopter, you get an Xbox 360. You wait, and in time there will be boxes on the shelf that include a free game that you didn't get. I don't see people standing in line shouting, "Hey, give me my game!" And why not? Because it's stupid, and they know it. This is no different.

All the complaints in this thread are just another example of consumers being convinced that all corporations are evil and "out to get them" when they don't wind up on the "pretty" end. Puh-lease! If you feel that way, just stop buying stuff! Certainly stop rushing to the front of the line to be first.

So if your XBOX 360 didn't come with a controller and less than 1 month later they started including it with the console for the same price you paid, you wouldn't raise a stink? The fact of the matter is that the USB port is the only way to listen to music with your own non-factory headphones. This adapter is a lot nicer than the ones i've seen online and they're made by HTC.

There's a big difference between a 5 dollar headset adapter and a 50$ controller..

There' a big difference between an XBOX game and an adapter as well. I'm just comparing his apples to my apples.

NO, I would not raise a stink. I would raise a stink if (and ONLY if) the box said, controller included -- and it wasn't. If you got everything that you knew you were getting when you ordered it, and it was a good enough value for you to complete your order, then shut up about it. You (and I) got exactly what we paid for! Case closed.

You ordered a specific configuration (which YOU decided, T-Mobile didn't force you to buy, was worth the amount you paid), and you received an order that delivered everything listed. What's there to complain about???

what your not getting is they sold everyone the same box with the same contents only the people that got them first got what the contents were supposed to be and the people who got them latter got the same box claiming to include the same content only they got the new improved version.

No, I am GETTING it. You're not. You (and I) got exactly what we paid for. We have NO REASON to complain. Those who received something different could complain, in theory if they wanted, assuming they don't like nor want the upgrade because they didn't opt for it. WE, however, got what was promised. How in the hell are you going to complain about for having your order fulfilled?

lets go back to the xbox lets say you buy one go home it works fine your friend goes the next day buys the same thing only it comes with a game Your not going to return yours and buy a new one to get the same deal he got?
I really don't care its a 5 dollar adapter and i will buy one sooner or latter but I should be able to get the same deal others are getting.
