GAME halts pre-orders: First Xbox 360 Sold Out claims emergePublished by hq_hacker_girl on Friday, August 26, 2005
What’s the best thing you can tell everyone about a new videogames machine? That’s right! That it's not for sale anymore and will be really rare and exciting. Knowing this all too well, GAME Retail in the UK has announced that it can no longer accept any orders for Xbox 360 due to phenomenal demand.
Now of course, we’re not saying that this is bogus, but given production lines haven't even begun to roll over in China, and yield rates have yet to be established, it would seem an odd time to calculate expected stocking levels of the new machine.
Unless of course GAME has taken such a huge amount of pre-orders that even the most industrious industrialised manufacturing plant could not meet expected demand.
GAME mentioned that although the core system would still be available, the premium (actually worth buying) version has sold out following “phenomenal demand”.
Of course, should this prove a PR ruse, and we’re not for a moment suggesting it is, you can at least take comfort in the fact that there will be a supply of new hardware. The “everything is fine with stocking” joke played by Sony at launch each time around is getting a bit old…
