Perhaps they are dwindling down to a single SKU to avoid customer confusion, or are prepared to release a whole new group of SKUs, at a new price point, and perhaps with GTA IV bundled in somehow. 2) They don't have enough refurbished units to compensate for the enormous amont of RROD claims, and are being forced to take units directly from the supply chain as replacements for already owned (but irreparably broken) systems. |
now, that would be really bad for microsoft if #2 turns out to be true. the sad thing is, it is plausible that this could also be part of the reason why there is a shortage.
