Funny.  What is it then?

Hype.

I suppose.

Buy all your systems, generate the hype, repackage, and resale.

Simple concept.

Wouldn\'t you all agree?

Wah?

Your post is very unclear, Tshirts.  Try writing in complete sentences.

It seems clear to me that the XBox is riding on Dead or Alive 3\'s coattails.  I wonder where it would be without DOA3?

I just couldn\'t tell what your main point was.  I would agree/disagree if I knew what you were trying to say.  I guess I\'ll go through one sentence at a time.

I disagree.  

Where did you hear that?  The Xbox preorders are selling very well, but there not sold out.  Is it even possible to "sell out" of preorders?

I disagree.  

I think my original comment fits in here nicely; Wah?  Talk about generalization.  That\'s just like me saying Americans = racist. :rolleyes:

So you\'re saying Microsoft bought all their systems just to generate hype?  Err, um, ok.  Whatever.  It\'s not very likely.  And why would they need to repackage them before they resell them?  It\'s not like they would open them all up after they bought them.  So I guess I disagree.

T-shirts you are a complete moron.  Do you have any friends?
Language services three functions. The first is to
communicate ideas. The second is to conceal ideas. The
third is to conceal the absence of ideas.

Yes it has been sold out at Amazon.com. This was BIG new but it\'s old.  But heres it is,


Japanese Xbox Sells Out!

According to Amazon.com representatives, Japanese preorders for the Xbox have been officially sold out. As previously reported, Microsoft authorized retailers to begin accepting preorders for their console last weekend in Japan. Amazon.com reportedly sold out of their preorder allotment within hours. Similarly, preorders for software titles including Dead or Alive 3 and peripherals such as the DVD playback kit have been equally strong. Unfortunately, specific preorder totals remain undisclosed. Nevertheless, several retail chains across Japan including Laox and Sofmap reported strong preorders for the Xbox amidst its initial weekend of availability. For reference, the Xbox is scheduled for release on February 22nd in Japan.
