I am very concerned at what seems to be nothing more than a marketing ploy. I pre purchased the 360 at the beginning of August and I am sure that Microsoft must have seen the number of units that were being pre purchased, yet have apparently done nothing to meet the growing demand. Whether or not it was the retailer or Microsoft that made the empty promises that 360’s would be available on Nov 22nd, it must have been abundantly clear that demand was up. I was a Sony Playstation exclusive gamer but found the Xbox a little faster. That apparently means the processors only. I am seriously considering returning to the Playstation format. They have always delivered when they said they would. Given that was a bit premature with the Gran Turismo 2 release. I am getting the ” you need to talk to your retailer” routine from Micrsoft, and the ” you need to talk to Microsoft” routine from my retailer and yet I can’t get a straight answer from either. I guess I am a bit naive to think that it is still about gaming loyalty and not the almighty marketing dollar.

Sincerely,
Fredrick Dinwiddie
