360 Sells 400k Units, New Stock This Weekend

Next Generation is reporting an estimate of 400,000 units sold for the Xbox 360 in its first week on the retail shelves. Microsoft is planning on having more stock available as of this weekend. From the article: "It seems even the biggest retailers are in the dark. Speaking to USA Today, Circuit City's Jim Babb said, 'We knew demand would outstrip supply for some time. I have been told we'll get additional supplies, so I can only advise customers keep checking back with stores and on the website.' Microsoft is gearing up for its European launch this weekend, but many believe the shortages could be even worse over there. Retail supplies are said to be tiny, and many customers who have pre-ordered have been told that they may not receive their machines this side of the New Year."

where can i go

to buy one for $1000? I missed out on all the ebay deals last weekend, and i feel like a moron.

Poll?

Well if you go by the Slashdot poll you would think no one wants it.

It becomes obvious that the vast majority of /.'ers are lying moron sheep that follow the crowd just like everyone else.

Google has a game console. It's in beta, and you have to be invited by someone who already has one.

I don't get it. No one I know wants one of these things and yet they're running out of them? Something's not right here.

Yes - you're aparrently old enough to communicate with the outside world, but seemingly don't realize that you aren't the center of it.
