blatant profiteering.
its bad enough when people buy them and stick them on ebay for inflated prices, but to have a big company do it is fucking disgusting

Utter cocks.
And did you not think to ask them on the sunday how much they would be so your gf could have enough money for one? 
I'd say that bit clears up the price issue

My mate tried buying one at dinner time. Everywhere out of stock and wouldn't reserve one for him. HMV said they expected some in on Thursday or Friday.

its actually against the law for them to restrict sales to just bundle deals.

Yep, they've stopped delivering to the UK, which IIRC is in breach of EU legislation....movement of goods or some bollocks like that

Apparantley shops are well within their right to restrict to bundles.

In answer to your question, retailers are entitled to choose the goods that they stock and supply, and are not obliged to sell games consoles on their own as opposed to as part of a bundle.
