I've been checking ever since the year started. I'm kinda a nerd, lol, but I forget exactly when it was listed as in-stock on Amazon. It has been available at retail stores around my way consistently since a few days after Christmas.

If you wanted a 360, you could find one for retail price at a retail store.

I call bullshit. If they were so easy to find, why were people complaining that they couldn't find one weeks before MS even muttered the word "shortage" and why did a completely unbiased moderator on this site state that his retail store wasn't getting the 360s they ordered from MS? Why were all major retailers in my area showing the Pro and Elite ~90% out of stock in January?

Oy. I don't know why I bother with fanboys. Reality is subjective to some people.


Call bullshit if you want to. Ill go look at my past post and see if I mentioned it, I just never thought anyone would argue that a 360 selling less than 70,000 a week could be sold out. In all honesty, I thought the 360 was going to outsell the PS3 the first month until Microsoft said it wasn't.

But believe whatever you want, I'm realistic about things and I have no reason to lie. Its funny to see so many people shellshocked and in denial. Maybe, JUST MAYBE, the Xbox360 was selling well because of Halo 3 and COD4? There are a million explanations as to why the 360 is selling less than the PS3 that make sense, but everyones wants to take the "ZOMG SUPPLY CONSTRAINTS" route. 25,000 more consoles people. Thats not supply, thats demand. Period.
