    Why is it that microsoft deciced to stock such a limited supply of the xbox 360 in shops ? I have heard that they won't have any new units being shipped here until the new year ? If this is true, won't they be giving up their christmas market ?

    That's the opposite of what I've heard. I heard they're going to try and get more units into the channel each week. Microsoft then made a similar press statement aswell, confirming that.

    Found it. http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=62000

    "Every week we're going to be shipping units in. We're doing all we can to get as many planes and ships through as fast as we can - so that's my guarantee to people, that that's the effort we're putting into it."

    The GAME store in the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre (Dublin) has put on messages on the boxes of the XBox 360, on which they inform the customers that because there was an unpredicted run on the consoles, shipments are very low between now and X-Mas. I haven't checked other stores personally, however, I've heard from some people that Smyth's is supposedly also low on shipments.

    Even though GAME has a negative impression, I don't think they make messages like this up.

    I don't wanna buy a 360 anyway.

    lol its funny how much time the sony fanboys seem to be spending in the XBOX section lately, we dont need to know every 5 mins that you dont want a 360 and your gonna get a ps3. Every post by them has their little dig at the end. Go off and play your ps2 to till 2007!

    Well from what I've heard, and this is a mate who works for MS, they are getting more shipments in next week and it looks they have weekly shipments in until demand dies down.

    Also why is it the sony fanboys feel the need to keep popping over and telling us that they are not going to be buying it and that the ps3 is so much better?
