Hey guys,

Do you think MS will produce enough to get a piece of that Black Friday pie? I really hope so. A successful Black Friday always leads to a good xmas season. I have my doubts though. They have to ship thousands of sensors to all these stores.

 

*update* Not much happened this week.

BestBuy had the 4GB bundle in stock last week, but set it on backordered this week.

Toys R us is still sold out on Kinect hardware and bundles, even though they only sell the 4GB bundle with Kinect and Joyride for $350.

Target is sold out on the sensor and the regular bundles. There are special kinect bundles available for $200 though and it comes with a not so popluar game (biggest loser).

Amazon is sold out on everything as well. No sensor and no kinect bundles. The Halo Reach bundle is sold out now, too. It was still available last week. Even the holiday bundle, which comes with Forza Motorsport 3 and Alan Wake is sold out. The regular standalone 4GB console is the only Xbox 360 console left in stock.

The situation did not change for Gamestop. The 4GB Kinect bundle is still in stock, but everything else is sold out. The 250 GB bundle changed from backordered to sold out though.

Game.co.uk received a shipment these days. This is the only major retailer where you can find the standalone Kinect sensor. Both bundles are available, too.

Last week I said amazon.co.uk must have received a big shipment, but this changed quite fast. There is no sensor available and the 250 GB bundle is out of stock again. But the next shipment should come in 2 days. So long, it is still sold out. 4GB Kinect is in stock though.

Amazon.de is still sold out on the kinect sensor. The retailer amazon links to says there are only 3 left. The Xbox 360 250 GB kinect bundle is sold out. The retailer Amazon links to has only 1 left in stock. The price is 470 € ($616 !!!). The 4GB bundle is in stock!
