Well I had heard some news a while back but didn’t think much of it until my buddy Dan told me how many 360’s my local Ebgames was getting. And if you guessed 100; Your wrong. My local Ebgames will have 10 Xbox 360’s on launch day so just about every kid hoping to have there hands on one wouldn’t for a week or two. Not only that but he said they had no 360 games yet, So I wonder if there gonna ship everything on the same day. Either way this huge shortage is not just Ebgames, but all over, based on what I saw on Best Buy numbers most will have less than 100 Xbox 360’s and considering how many Best buys are in my area that’s a lot of people to divide up only a 100 or so 360’s. So yeah.. I suggest if you want one, go camp out at your local Best Buy… have fun with that by the way.
Edit… This will disturb and worry you all beyond control.
IGN reports that shortages will back sales till APRIL. That means for those of you that have not pre-ordered an Xbox 360(ME), that you could be estimated to wait 5 months till you can casually walk into say an Ebgames and pick one up.

Our local Gamestop is only getting 14, and our wal-mart is getting around 60, but considering how much the thing costs, I dont think it will be that bad, but I believe IGN is going a little over the top, dont you?
