Electronic Theatre has investigated the likelihood of finding a new Xbox 360 at a number of retailers across the country and discovered that many locations are sold out.
Oh so now shortages are legal? Ok I guess Sony must have faked their slim shortages even though my friends were having trouble finding them locally and Amazon was officially sold out and limited to selling 1 per customer when they were in stock. Quit being so biased, you ass.
Nah, remember when the PS3 slim launched? A LOT of retailers (like Amazon and Gamestop) limited purchase to just 1 console per buyer. There's was a lot of demand. Right now, I can find these new 360s anywhere and they're in plenty of stock on Amazon.
and I believe the Sony one was fake. Why? because M$ makes crappy operating systems, everyone knows this; and Sony lies to save face, everyone knows that.
Its a classic Sony tactic to lie about something like supply, MS does not market on such a deep psychological level, lying just to %uck with the customers head is a Japanese/Sony tactic all the way. Nintendo pulled the same crap for months when the wii launched.
I really am surprised that the new Slim is doing as well as it is since it technically wasn't a price drop all it was a redesign, a bigger harddrive and Wifi added. I wasn't expecting it to have the same effect as the PS3 Slim since that actually had a price drop. It's sold out in the many places in the U.S. as well.
Larger HDD, 5 usb ports, Wireless N, Quieter, no Red Ring etc... A lot of people always wanted a 360 but there was such a stigma on the brand due to the early 360 models failures. Microsoft did a huge poll and asked gamers what they would rather have in the 360 and Wireless won and garnered 69% of the vote. Even above Blu Ray. I guess a lot of people just cant run a cable to their Xbox 360's. So the Wireless is helping I'm certain.
I am glad to see it's doing well in other countries as well. I have quite a few British Friends on XBL. Good people.
I'm not sure that I'm going to upgrade, for me there's just not much point. I play XBL through a wired connection and I have 60gigs left from my 120GB elite.
I install my games so my elite is whisper quiet, the only beneficial thing for me would be the new sleek look, and the glossy finish would look nice next to my PS3 Fat.
Off Topic: does anyone know where some decent 360 Skins can be purchased?
i agree with pretty much everything you said except the last sentence. how the hell you met 150 people in that bought slims in 60 days? how many xbox360 s. your store received again? how many hours you work a week? because I'm sure they only ship a handful to each store. either you're lying or you just don't have a life jumping around every single store that sells xboxes trying just to do your little survey. the store i work at received 1 shipment since release and we had 8 pieces that's 4 boxes.
Lol, im pretty sure if Microsoft added Blu-ray to there machine, not only would it be a successor to 360, it would also cost more then the current 360.
Very awesome piece of machinery to be honest,I coudnt be happier with my x360S,I dont know about anyone else but my systems temp. stays the same mild.The heat remains mild no matter how long I use it's the same.Now as far as bluray is concerned meh,dont care about bluray.HDMI suits me just as well.
i'm glad the shortages are due to genuine demand and not a phony baloney manufactured one.

sad theres no blu-ray though
Tesco's are the only ones who are out of stock, seemed the £190 price point managed to sell the custom from else where.
Understandable, much better deal than previously offered and better looking too.
