This story on Digg.Com suggests that BestBuy is taking advantage of the current XBox 360 shortage by stockpiling the units, rather than selling them. Then, they are planning to have a massive sale on December 18. Presumably selling most of the Xbox 360s in expensive bundles which will force desperate parents to spend $1000 on a $300 machine, in order to avoid disappointing Junior.
The more I read about these kinds of seller scams (and no, I am not suggesting this is unlawful, merely dishonest), the more I respect my parents. The one year I wanted a toy that was IMPOSSIBLE to find in store, they didn't start a riot to get the last one that KBToys had in stock. Instead, they left the #3 from my list under the tree with a note saying, "The elves were overworked this year, so your #1 toy is being finished up as we speak. It will arrive in the next week or so." I was happy, because I knew my toy was on the way and I already had one of the others I wanted. And my parents were able to get the toy a couple of weeks later, without bloodshed.
