shortage - lack; scarcity; deficit; deficiency

plenty of arcades and halos out there...so there is no 360 shortage. to claim that there was a shortage would mean that there was barely to no available 360 no matter what model. but theres an abundance of arcades so there is no shortage.

and no, it had only one $100 price cut on two skus. two $100 price ctus would mean that a $599 80gig would be priced at $399 coz of two $100 price cut. but its priced at $499 so thats just one price cut.

so in summary

1. word of the day is shortage - lack; scarcity; deficit; deficiency

2. one $100 price cut is $599 to $499 which is true for the 80gig. two $100 price cut is $599 tp $499 to $399 which is not true for any ps3 sku. and no, the 40gig was introduced at $399 and no price has been cut.

Actually there is a significant shortage of Pro models and Elites.  As the Pro model is the most popular, and the Elite the second most popular, many consumers are unable to purchase the Xbox 360 model they want due to an inherant SHORTAGE andare therefore WAITING or buying a PS3.

As for the price cuts, there were two.  Before you became a member, there was a big thread discussing them.  For a period of time after the 20gb was officially dropped but the 80gb hadn't received a price drop, the lowest official entry price for the PS3 was $599.  It then dropped to $499.  And then it dropped again to $399.

Thanks for playing.
