There never was a 360 shortage. Proof? eBay.

Do you honestly believe there were shortages? Really? Why is it that these "shortages" didn't pop up in the news until AFTER we found out that the PS3 outsold the 360. Why is it that there were "shortages" even though if you went to Best Buy/Amazon/Gamestop/etc.com, there was always full stock? Why is it that everyone here says there have always been Elites/Pros/Halo Editions at there local stores, to which you can only rebutt "that's only from your location" even though people from VGC are from ALL OVER THE WORLD?

It's kind of like that bet that Jack Tretton made after the PS3 launched, "If you can find a PS3, I'll pay you $1200" If Bill Gates pulled that move, he would have been paying millions.....upon millions

And it seems as though you Xbox fans are the ones that are closer to Fox News, because you want people to buy into crap....exactly what Fox does

Maybe you're just not paying very close attention. I heard of shortages weeks before MS said a word about not getting enough 360s to retailers in early 2008. It wasn't just one person, either. It was two or three different people a week on another forum I frequent. Initially, I didn't believe them so I checked the online inventory of Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Circuit City, and Target. Guess what? In the month of January, those four retailers were anywhere from 80 to 90% sold out the two times I checked.
