| I think that microsoft is doing it for their own ego to get a bunch of plablissity and get on the news |
|
|
| I think there really is a shortage, im waiting for the ps3 though. |
|
|
| if i dont get 1 this year cause of a marketing ploy i will wait for ps3 |
|
|
| if the console is expected to be very expensive anyways, then I don't think it will be sold out everywhere. People don't have that kind of money everywhere. |

| Sony did this same thing with the PS2 slim last winter and PS2 when it first launched. And anyone thinking Sony won't be doing this with the PS3 is being just plain ignorant and naive. And seeing as how developers have stated to expect Xbox 360 and PS3 graphics to be very very close the first few years in quality (with Armored Core 4 already helping drive that point home), I wouldn't go and be getting all excited quite yet about the PS3 until Sony announces final details on the PS3. Online support has been confirmed by Sony to not be changing from how it is now, the hard drive for the time being has been dropped and is not expected to be a factor for Sony, and the ethernet ports have been dropped as well. Looks like Sony is trying to cut costs by cutting corners, which in the long run may hurt them more than help them. And anyone thinking the Cell processor or Blu-Ray is the saving grace...needs to realize the average consumer will not be buying a PS3 and will not be willing to trade out their current dvd player to use discs that can't be played on it. And with the Cell processor being capped (Sony confirmed this) for the PS3, further down the road especially, expect their to be graphical bottlenecks. But hey, don't take my word for it. Listen to those developing games for it. |

| I think the XBOX 360 will sell out for sure if you dont have it on pre order already like i do good luck trying to find one this holiday season cause they will be the must have item for kids this christmas so good luck. |
|
|
| It is a recovery, honestly, i think there IS a shortage, but microsoft, using its buisness genious, has decided to bring out the best in it by turning the situation back around, making the xbox 360 seem like its so hot that they cant even keep them on the shelves... when you think about it, its pretty obvious, and i beleive a really good decision on mycro****s part |

| Work on your grammer please. Its poor, 6th grade writing. |

|
| GrammAr is not the main focus on comments, rather your thoughts on the article. The Xbox 360 will be a hard to get item this year for the Holidays. Every year that a console has come out in the holiday season it is always SOLD OUT. It won't be as big as the Elmo doll in the 90s, but it will be sold out every where you look. And for those willing to pay $1000 on eBay - go ahead and do it. |

| its nice that companies all over the united states have created a need to preorder status in order to get the xbox 360 by launch date. It worked on me, and now im waiting in vain, for word on when ill even get my xbox 360. I ordered mine on october 2nd, since the store clerk said i would still get the xbox by launch date. Fat chance of that happeing, now im down 600 buck with my old xbox traded in, and nothing to play untill only Microsoft knows when. Thanks to all who created the hype and excitement of getting the system on launch date who left me hanging high and dry. And your welcome for the money you received from me for the guarantee that was never even there.
angry customer and fading loyal xbox fan. |

| Personally, i think it is a load of rubbish of course they have plenty to go around, this has been in production for a long time, and they have had plenty of time to establish how poular this product will be, it is a gaming industry now. I will expect my sons to be delivered to me on the 2nd december without fail. |
|
|
| I believe that Microsoft is creating artificial demand for the Xbox 360. There is no way Bill Gates is the richest man in the world for under producing a new product with the chance to sell millions of dollars in the holiday season. |

| The shortage is Bull ___ Microsoft probably teamed up with Ebay so people can get ripped off... WoW they sold out everywhere when most stores only have 4 in stock... It's all Hype so people will get scared and buy assloads of these for Christmas Gifts. Microsoft is a player, and is playing everyone like a big fun dummy. When I call Microsoft or Get Online, and ask what's going on with the anorexic supply to the stores, they like hang up on me and close the chat window. I will not buy one of these, I'll wait for the PS3. If I do purchase some 360 I'll sell it on Ebay! LoL |
|
|
| I don't know what is going on, but I wish they would hurry the F up and get this console back in stores, before I buy me a shuttle PC |
|
|
| There probably using this as a publicity stunt, they saw how well it worked for the ps2, I dunno though, a bit annoyign, i ordered late november from amazon and i dont think im going to get it for xmas :( |
|
|
| I just wish that they will get sum on the shelves! |
