Once again $$soft has screwed its customer's. For those of you hoping to snag a 360 over these next few months u may be out of luck. The software giant has purposely restricted the supply of 360's to major retailers in order to create media hype for the launch. But u cant really call it a launch when thousands of people are waiting in line at their local best buy only to have forty of those people recieve the much anticipated device. In my opinion this is just another example of microsofts detachment from its fanbase. Gamers dont care if the 360 makes the seven o clock news, Bill. They just want a freaking xbox.
But yes that has been their strategy from day one. THey believe by making the 360 scarce, they can get more and more hype about it through newspersons reporting the device sold out everywhere. Supply and Demand manipulation, u know pretty much everything produced by Microsoft is concieved through manipulation these days...
