Apparently, Microsoft has decided that supply chain problems make for a media bonanza. According to this piece, they are engineering a situation where every store will sell out of XBox 360 on their first day - even going so far as to force some stores to do so contractually - in hopes of creating media buzz and a flood of front-page stories on launch weekend. They are shipping far less than what they know demand will require, even sending some stores only 10 units when over 100 were requested. i.e. If you want an XBOX 360 on openning weekend, and have not already ordered one, you had better either (1) plan to hijack a delivery truck (NOT recommended by Mod-Blog or our lawyers) or (2) find a store that is hidden deep in the woods and hope no one else knows about them... except the delivery truck, of course.
I was wondering why Wal-Mart suddenly stopped accepting pre-orders... or orders of any kind... for the new XBOX in our area. It must be that they now know they are only getting a few units, and they are already spoken for. Why do I think it will be best to keep ones eyes out for rabid mothers and homicidal 10-year-olds in electronics stores between now and Christmas?
