The whole of ASDA we supposedly allocated a whooping 1500 units!
 In an interview a spokeperson said they thought XBOX360s would on the shelves for all of 30 seconds. The are also those who think that this is a marketing ploy Microsoft, to drive up christmas sales. Release the stock in a slow but steady stream thus driving the market into a buying frenzy, as they attempt to get one just in time for Christmas  . I ask you would anyone do such a thing  ? |

My local Curry's (warehouse style electrical retailer) had 2
----------------------------------------Dixons where I had preordered had 8 (I'm somewhere around the 25 mark) Microsoft claimed they couldn't afford to have a launch day fiasco and they had the whole distribution issue sorted out it wasn't going to be like the PS2Being as cynical as I am I suspect most have made their way onto Ebay. At least with the Sony PS2 if you preordered you actually received the goods. I know it's petty in the great scheme of things but Bill you managed to get me narked today |

There Marketing stratetgy was to get out before PS3, and hope that enough people would want one that the stop/start launch of the product would get more people wanting one

Bah, Humbug.
I waited 6 months until April 2001 before I bought a PS2 for my cousin's youngest daughter. And now it's even worse. Here is what I believe: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=27976 |

Hey mycrofth
----------------------------------------You mean you can play games on them We bought our first XBOX as a DVD player as at the time they were the same price. The fact that you could play games on it was a bonus  The XBOX360 is a steping stone to getting your PC in the Living Room. Bill knows what he's up to (I'm still a Pod Racer Fan from the DirectX 6 days) [Edit 2 times, last edit by David Autumns at Dec 3, 2005 2:45:37 AM] |
