Derrick said Microsoft barred him from connecting to the online system through the console and officials told him to return the device and order a replacement. "I think it's kind of a hassle but I'm OK with it. I don't think it's that bad, I get a new system anyway," Derrick said. Derrick said it was nice to get a sneak peak of the upcoming system. "I think it's kind of cool though that I got it early just because well... I'm 13 and I like getting things early," Derrick said. Target officials gave Derrick a $100 gift card to compensate for the mix-up.
