Have you got any proof that they are losing 94 dollars per console? Cause if so, I'd like to see it.

I think the whole thing is a little much. Each of these stores are only getting like 30 units, and its Christmas time. Its all to create a big hype. If they don't release more before Christmas (they say the next release in january something-or-other) it would be the dumbest thing Microsoft could ever do. Christmas is THE time make money, why wouldn't they have warehouses full of them.

It's all to build up hype. And unfortunately, everyone is buying into it.

I think you have some problems if you're willing to pay $400+ for a video game console. I mean, you could be skiing, or getting ready for skiing, or other fun stuff. As somebody posted above, I'm sure 90% of the people buying them are virgins and don't know that fun is basically free!

yea but they can make soo much more money per x-box that way... if they're hard to come by people will pay more for them.

nike did that with their skate sneakers, n the demand for them is insane. the sneakers, for the most part are hideous, but the shop i work in sells them for like twice the recommended retail price and sells out of them within two hours of getting them because people collect them and stuff just because they're soo rare

loosing 94 dollersr per prucahse, i somewat find that, not true, they probably got them made in a sweat shop for 2 dollers, soooooo im guessing they are making a lot when they are made, and then games are 60, so buy 2 games and a controller or 2 you already made back a profit

You have got to be fucking kidding me. Xbox does a teraflop worth of computing and your calling it out cause it costs to much??? I'm a two sport varsity athelete skier, hiker, biker, and gaming is still something thats fun to do.
