THis was a shrewd move on Microsoft,s part. Yes the demand is high because of a total lack of systems. Anytime you keep the supply low, the demand is going to be high. IF the supply was high, the demand and the premium prices would be nonexistent. Microsoft is using the same tactics that the Big Oil companies use to keep the price of gasonline up. I have looked everywhere to find a 360, all sold out. Of course, cause they are keeping the supply low to keep the sales up. Lets look back at the holiday, there were pallets full of the original xbox. they dont want this happening with the 360 so they hold back on shipping the units to make sure they fly off the stores shelves. I have given up, wouldnt buy one now. and I suggest everyone else do the same. Screw Microsoft and their 360. Going to wait and buy a PS3.

i havnt been able to find a reason for the alte release date, my guess thats why? if it is, they should have prepared for it, cause att he people in australia and other countries with a late release date will all be noobs online, but i guess thats what auto match is for. you guys are complaining cause you mabye couldnt get one, but think of all of us not being able to get them for months. then m$ teases us with releaseing the "vip" pack, i get a controller and a game i cant do anything with.

I think that this whole situation is ridiculus. Microsoft had more than enough time to prepare for the launch. It is not a good feeling to wake up on Christmas mourning and see that there is nothing under the tree from "Santa." And I am not just saying this alone. I am POSITIVE that there probablly THOUSANDS of kids just like me try to get their hands on their only christmas present. I am tired of waiting and so are many others.
