Were YOU one of them?

Did you get a 360?  I did, but it was for my brother.  Unfortunatly I didn't have the cash for it but had a pre-order in so away it went to him.  I did get a shot of it, and I can safely say it rules.  However, unfortunatly Microsoft were a bit streched, with only 50,000 consoles in Great Britain.  If you take the population at 60Million, thats 1 to every 1200 people.  That means that roughly 0.083% of the population here got one.

Microsoft shorted everyone. I preordered mine, but with the shipments coming it'll be until February before I get mine.

MS is losing money on each one sold (to grab market?), so I might think buying one just to annoy them ;D

@ Egeides

Buy the console, but don't buy any games! That's where they get $$

Until February?  Microsoft intend to ship the same amount form launch day before Christmas, you must be pretty far down the pecking order - the are shipping more consoles each week in America.

Well, that was the projected date given by EB Games, but believe me, it's probably not far from the truth. I live on a university (well just outside it), so there are a lot of people pre-ordering the xbox 360.

Nope, didn't get one and im glade I didn't.  I knew it would have bugs on it and it must suck for all the poor saps who got one that freezes every minute.  Though to bad I wasn't like first in line and first to get home to put it up on Ebay. :P  Saw one person biding $1000+ for a 360.  Sucker.
