Still huge delays of the console and well at this rate there not ever gonna come… ha ha, but seriously word on the net is Circuit City will be getting some more shipments of the 360 in the coming days, however the distribution of the consoles is very limited. Estimates of the console could be under 5 a store and even then which packages will be received is also unknown. Despite all that those of you that still didn’t get one(practically everyone), then I suggest to go to circuit city and see if you can’t reserve one or something(not sure how that store works as I never go there). Regardless of this fact those of you still waiting from EBgames there is no word on when they will get there shipments, it was estimated the second week of December… so they either mean right now or just no idea.
So yeah, I will continue to torment those of you that were so stoked on getting one and haven’t received them, and I have all the intentions to make you not want it by the time you get it (laughs at Dan).

You know, I’m really starting to think that this whole shortage thing was done on purpose by Microsoft. Why? Well it’s all actually a great marketing strategy. Remember that episode of South Park where Cartman buys his own amusement park and doesn’t allow anyone in. He then realizes that he needs to let people in so he can afford to pay for expenses. Eventually everyone wants to go because they were told that they couldn’t.
It’s the same way with the 360. A lot of people wanted one on launch day but only a lucky few were able to get one. Now the word gets out that you can’t get one and the Cartman principle applies. All the sudden one of these days Microsoft is gonna be “Hey we got some more consoles!! Who wants one??”. And you know theres gonna be a frenzy, probably bigger than the one on launch day. Because people want what they can’t get.

i think that xbox was just unprepared with the Xbox 360. i dont think they were ready yet to be shipped. if trhey would have waited though, sony might beat the crap out of them in system sales. so i think that was a pretty good thing to do. and is it true that 360’s are exploding? i wont get mine until Halo 3 comes out

i played from the day it came out to the first day of summer
since there were so many cheaters my rank would constantly suffer and i eventually just quit.. ask anyone on here that plays i rocked num with a sniper rifle, strickly headshots and rarely wasted a shot… just if there wasn’t cheaters i would have been more stoked to continue.. made it to like rank 34 as highest but cheaters would kill that in like 5 games.

I don’t really care. I got an VBox at launch, and the thing broke in a little over a year. The drive (Thompson) stopped reading the disc. I’ll never get a console as soon as it comes out again.
