Xbox 360

Well, I have some bad news about the Xbox 360.  Turns out my supplier (who will go unnamed), has just informed me that he won’t be getting any units from his distributor until December.  This is unfortunate, especially since I was hoping to take a trip on the 21st in order to get one.  Alas, I guess I’ll just have to try to get one at a brick and mortar store on the 22nd, along with everyone else.  Maybe it will be like when Halo 2 came out, and I won’t have a problem at all.  However, for some reason, I don’t think this will be the case.  :down:

    Ya. It was not a happy e-mail to write either.  Here’s what the disty wrote to me:
    “I’m sorry, but at the present time we are looking at probably sometime in December before I can ship your order.  We are not getting nearly enough hardware and we do not know what our 2nd and 3rd week allocations will be yet.  I will keep you updated once I hear more.  I apologize for inconvenience this may cause you.”

    i’m actually curious as to whether the hardware shortfall is because of overwhelming demand or if it has been artificially induced.
