We Went To 4 Stores Today In Search Of An Xbox 360
 

And no luck! Even in our little hicktown they were completely sold out!

Man Microsoft is sure doing a fantastic job of "hyping" this product and making it a must have item. I'm sure we can all agree that there are probably 10 million xboxes sitting in a warehouse somewhere just collecting dust as Microsoft claims the availability of product is low.

Brilliant marketing if you ask me. :thumbsup

DH

Watch them flood the market couple days before chrismass

Give it a few weeks.

i called best buy's they told me it sold out in one hour and they wont get the next batch till january

Headless camped out at a best buy for 6 hours to get one.......... this shit is crazy. Fucking someone spent 7500 bucks to get one yesterday off Ebay

spent my 8 hours at walmart yesterday for a system. sold it for a nice profit already :)

sosa: youre an idiot or poor
seems your time is not worth much

eBay said in a news report there are 1,800 of them for sale with bidding ranging from $1k to $3K right now.

$1,100 + shipping and I'll send you a premium overnight right now.

why do u need it

Please excuse my ignorance, but how does the quality of the graphics compare to a nice PC with a nice video card? Is it THAT much better?

And even if it's THAT great, It doesn't make ANY sense to pay $1k+ for something that will be worth $400 in 2 months, can someone clue me in?

yep!! SO true!

supply and demand...it's the same way they keep the price of diamonds so high

Yeah, my local news had a reporter who looked all over town yesterday and all of the stores said they were sold out within an hour or so. There was even a huge line at one of the best buy's just to PLAY THE DEMO machine which they wouldnt sell.
Pretty insane.

DH you know the flood gates will come busting open just in time for Santa. Like you said... hype and marketing!

6 months and its for free with a 6 pack

This is crazy. I watched one go from $550 with about a minute left to $700 final.

It's not just Microsoft conspiring, it's the retail stores also. Think of all the extra traffic they get from people going from store to store searching.

That's the best thing to do :)

hype hype hype :winkwink:

patience is a virtue

Not surprising at all, that is why people waited hours before shops even opened

Fantastic marketing!!

my wife paid in full in august for one... they told her there were too many people before her so we can get ours some time in January. hahahahha

Same thing here in San Diego...

I did not want an xbox until all the hype started.

$700 is a good deal on a core. Premium is WAY higher.

It's all marketing hype. If people weren't reacting like this the consumers would think it's an average game system.

Just order it online at best buy... They will have them delivered by December 9th

i knew i should have got an xbox just to sell on ebay. damnitt.

Microsoft is using GFY tactics to sell products... hm..

People are seriously fucking losers, its another thing why the world is so screwd up today,

wow lets camp out for hours upon hours to get a gaming box with minor upgrades.

it is absolutley ridiculous, i mean does no one work anymore?

where the fuck do you find the time to waste a day away like that?

:helpme :helpme

might want to wait... some people are having crashing problems

How much do you make in 8 hours?

People are selling these for $2k profit.

Consumers are fucking idiots.

SUVs. Blogs. Rubber bracelets. And now this shit.
