Xbox 360 next shipments

[Titan]

Japan doesn\'t care bout Xbox

[Paul2]

I can see why, as they don\'t like external power supply...

According to several tipsters, Circuit City has just received a new shipment of Xbox 360s which are available to be specially ordered on a first come, first served basis. Here’s the catch: the warehouses that service several states each are only getting about 170 units per distributor, so don’t expect your local store to receive more than 2 or 3 boxes. Both premium and core bundles will be for sale, though the ratio of premium bundles to core bundles is still unknown. The good news, though, is that anyone placing a special order for the 360 right now could presumably have their hands on a box within the next few days to a week. Of course, there’s a chance that you’ll have to settle for a lowly core package, though a crippled 360 is better than no 360, right? Just so we’re clear, that there’s what they call a rhetorical question.

Ms fudge up so bad. They should have supplied as many 360\'s to north america and europe as they could. There just giving ppl more chances to save their money for ps3.

When the dust has settled, and the score is in, the Xbox 360 launch will have laid a power brick.

Too bad they sent extra systems to Japan.

In hindsight they should\'ve given us another 100,000 from the Japanese stock.

Oh well. 20/20.

My guess is they tried to mimick the PS2 launch with a shortage of consoles to increase the hype. Except, in this case, MS just didn\'t release all the consoles they could, Sony actually didn\'t have enough parts and they probably were really scared..but it worked to their advantage.

This shortage thing is pathetic

There was dozens of win free XBOX 1.5s advertisements everywhere

One of the numerous giveaways that should anger XBOX1.5 fans was the Pepsi giveaway.  Pepsi gave away 1 free Xbox1.5 every 10 minutes for at LEAST 2 months = roughly 9,000 units

So Microsoft gave away thousands of XBOX 1.5s and then claimed shortage on launch day.

Some people who ordered Xbox 1.5 and some who waited in line on launch day didn\'t get thier console because Microsoft gave their console to a guy who typed a code number he got off a $1 soda pop bottle into a computer.  Then he probably sold it on ebay for twice the price.

seriously, i really haven\'t even seen much buzz about the 360 on tv,...are there any good games for it?...i mean to me it seems like that this launch has been a real quiet one,..i mean i\'m not gonna front before the 360 came out i was really amped about it...the one game that had me hooked was gears of war..i don\'t know, maybe when it gets more games it will start to come together better....

There are some cool games on the 360

Call of Duty 2 is awesome, but its aport.

PGR3 is fantastic, although many say its no different then PGR2, I\'ve never played PGR until 3.

Kameo is short but good

Perfect Dark is receiving decent acclaim.

All of the EA sports efforts were average or below average, and there were a couple other turds. I\'d have ot say the Xbox 360 launch parallels the PS2 launch in terms of games at launch.

Oh and Best Buy is supposed to be a go for Xbox 360\'s  this Saturday the 18th.

If you are interested is getting one or flipping one you might want to plan for Sat. There is a confirmation of this at IGN

Happy hunting, I hope a few of us get lucky for whatever reason you choose.

not even close
more like the N64 launch

Oh please. Mario 64, Pilotwings and.... That was it for like a month, right? Then after forever it was like oh nice "Mortal Kombat Trilogy and Cruisin USA!"

At least we got WaveRace, heh.

Games are not the problem at the 360 launch. I have four good ones myself and could still go out and buy Call of Duty 2 and PGR3. Gun looks neat if not average and there\'s always the token Tony Hawk game if you\'re into that...
Some kids probably like Amped, too.

N64 at least had Mario which easily overshadows anything that\'s on the 360 now.

360 wins in the variety department though, so you can brag about that eik

variety?
50% (if not more) of the titles are EA rehash sports games and yet more FPS\'s

where was the fighter?
and most importanly...the allmighty RPG
