Who is still waiting for a Xbox 360, want to ask mostly the people. Who ordered before people, but the people who ordered after them got theres.

Like before the people who were meant to get one first. Ok just told my mum to ask are local Blockbusters, if they have any 360's. I so hope they have the £279.99 version.
 
Sorry, but I have to say this sometime, might as well be now, TVR&Ferrari_Fan, can you at least try and type something that makes sense? I can barely make out what you were trying to say. English is your first language so I suppose you shouldn't have many problems with it.
 
i am still waitn for my 360 to com out,but as i wrote already, it takes time til it comes to my city....unfortunatly :)

No more info my rear. I also got this email today from play.com.

Dear Jamie

Thank you for your email.

You now may be aware there is an extreme shortage of the supply of the Xbox 360 and like all retailers we have only received a small percentage of our initial allocation.

Although your pre-order was recorded some time ago we regret we were not able to allocate your order on launch date. Your order is still on our system and as a pre-order customer your Xbox 360 will be dispatched on a first come first served basis.

As an official distributor of Microsoft products we are guaranteed more stock but Microsoft have informed us along with other official Xbox retailers, that the console will not be freely available until next year.

Please accept our apologies for the disappointment that you have been caused following the launch of this product.

Kind regards

E-mail support team

So some lucky bugger should of waited after me, its like someone pushed in line.
 
How can they have pushed in front of you? They probably pre-ordered before you.

Rushing a post is no excuse really...Just think instead of just randomly pressing keys on the keyboard next time. 👍
 
I think it as someone pushing in line, because some people i know. Ordered the same 360 version after me like in Nov 05. And well they have there 360 now, after ordering it from play.com.

Is that what you were trying to say?

If so, maybe their orders were processed sooner than yours. Play.com have responded to your email informing you of the circumstances, and I guess (unfortunately) you'll have to wait.
 
I had mine pre-ordered in Sept, which should mean my order is processed quicker. Then someone ordering in Nov 05.

Aswell i have emailed Microsoft, about when they should get the next shipment sent out.

A guy at my work ordered his from play on the 18th of August and got the exact same email as you did. He realised he wouldnt get it on the 2nd Dec so he pre-ordered on Wed 30th Nov (thats right - two days before launch) and got his on friday afternoon. How lucky was that! only problem being he could only get the core pack from game so he went and bought a hard drive for it - only spare Hard Drive in any Game store local to him.
 
Got to look on the bright side, at least. I still have Xbox 1, GT4 and my PC.
 
No, because i did not have much time today. May go up on Tuesday to look.

I would try to get one online and not in the shop as there is more chance of them having stock rather than a single store 👍
 
All the shops online i know are out of stock. Also it seems there are not 1 but 2 factories working 24/7, Did some more searching and US get next shipment Dec 16th.

Which could mean UK getting it in Dec 20th at least, i could wait that long. One more thing there sending more Xbox 360's every week to get more to UK and US. Best news if people have to wait until next year, well there is a 3rd factory opening in 2006. To produce more 360's.

So it looks like good news is people still waiting for theres from play.com, will have to wait maybe 18th or 20th Dec 05 hopfully.
 
On a swedish forum they said that they'll ship 500.000 XBOX360s to Europe but they only shipped 250.000 instead of 500.000. I don't if it's true tought :odd:
 
Here is that news about US getting there next shipment on Dec 16th 05:

I reckon as i type this, the next European shipment is on a boat, or dare i say it. Airplane.
 
Thats the US date, it could still have a shipment for the UK on the same day. Or even a week later, either way I just want my 360 before 2006 Cosmic.

Why do you need the XBOX360 before 2006? Are you in a rush? :lol:


*sigh*
 
Just ordered mine from Gameplay, core version, it says it "should" be despatched in around 2 weeks.

:)👍
 
So that would mean Play.com should have there shipment before or by then.
 
GT Fan just talking to an online person, who works in online customer support. And they said they did not send out any emails, with that 2 weeks thing in it.

But they said, they may get a small shipment in.
 
oh my god, a friend of mine bought it for 5500 dhs...like 1527 dollars....

we just got 20 here...oh my gosh... :yuck: :crazy: 💡 :)

Better buy a memory unit or you'll be starting over every time you play.
