Xbox 360 explodes back onto US shop shelves
Fresh shipments expected to land in US stores on Friday
Microsoft has come good on its promise to replenish Xbox 360 stocks as quickly as possible by announcing that US shop shelves will receive a second batch of consoles at the end of this week.
It?s great news for US gamers disappointed after the Xbox 360 launched across North America last week and promptly sold out quicker than you could say ?high-definition?.
Speaking to USA Today, um, yesterday, Microsoft?s Molly O?Donnell said that replacement stock was, ?on the way, and it should be on retailers' shelves by the end of the week or for the weekend." O?Donnell also emphasised Microsoft?s commitment to the ?weekly replenishment strategy? that Microsoft executives have been bandying around since the first fears of an Xbox 360 stock shortage reared their heads back in September.
And high ranking Xbox 360 exec Peter Moore recently told us that he was doing everything possible to get more consoles on shelves, saying, ?We've got two factories working 24 hours a day. We've got air freight running as well as boats, because you can get more units on boats. All we can do is make them as fast as we can and ship them as fast as we can."
The news comes as a relief both for Xbox 360-hunting North Americans and us Europeans, since we?re facing the console?s launch on this continent on Friday. The fact that Microsoft is ? as promised ? making sure consoles are landing on shelves week after week should prevent the kind of stock droughts that have afflicted other games systems like Sony?s PSP.
Not content with giving hope to legions of gamers desperate for an Xbox 360, O?Donnell then addressed some of the technical problems reported by owners of the console. "We are doing everything we can to take care of gamers who are having problems," she said, before pointing out that disgruntled owners were well under the 3 usually suffered by new electronic devices.
good news for everyone who still havent gotten their hands on a 360

Kinda sad, because most xbox360 are sitting on the shelves in Japan, they didnt even sell out there. Not even half was sold. I'll find the weblink soon, forgot where it is.
>_<

yea sucks but they only launched like 100,000 in japan. Wouldnt of made that much of a diff if they were sold in US instead, still would have been shortages.
The thing that aggrivates me is that in Japan it sold for like 320usd i believe i read that somewhere. I know its prob for MS to appeal to them more but sucks for us

Did your friend pre-order one? Also remember that they will only get so many of the core and so many of the premium. If he did pre-order when did he? Game stores are saying if you pre-ordered after a certain date that he may not get until next year.
Dont let the door hit you on the way out, beacause I dont want ass prints on my new door!

BestBuy here in St. Cloud MN store 12, sold out by 8:05 this morning, they opened at 8.
they had like 24 units or something, but it's all gone now. also gamestop is giving pre-order first priority, so no walk-in sales till jan-march (according to them)

Gamestop-EBgames-Babages = Crooks
They have no problem selling some grossly overpriced bundle online
yet they don't honor presales made months in advance.
I'll Never buy anything from them again.
