For some reason, I cant find a single shop selling xbox 360 arcades in London. What is going on???
I checked all the major stores online and they're all wiped out of stock. I've check argos,pcworld,currys,comet,asda and all of them are empty. blink.gif can someone help me out? Please....

Any help appreciated...
Thanks!

I'm confused as to why you have the xbox picture at the bottom. And the reason for no arcades, is, I believe they are pulling them off the shelves, due to people buying them instead of repairing, I'm not sure if that's the reason, but that's whats happening.

Hey crazy

try going to JB's bud

I heard a guy in there the other day sauong they had 10 Elites and 5 pro's but only 1 arcade.

I think it is due to people getting the RROD and people getting a cheap console.

That's what I did

yeah but i call JB, eb and game specialty store. Normal places lik bigw, kmart, myer, target all carry more arcades than pros and hardly ever an elite. Not that I need one really coz I got the 120gb hdd.

and yeah i did the same when mine RRoD'd but mine happened round midnite so 24 hour kmart it was to buy a new console.

Then I found out the next day my old console was just in warranty not that im complaining coz now I got 2.

but the Pro's and Elites still have some of the old stock (Falcon and older) and still have the RROD prob's

Shocked
