Xbox360euro12903

The hour has arrived, and left. It is now December 2nd in Europe meaning that the Xbox 360 has officially launched. Consoles were expected to sell out within a half hour, and with a 300,000 number of Xbox 360 units, this is very believable. Combined with Peter Moore confirming that Europe ?could? face shortages the outlook on getting an Xbox 360, like in the USA, is in all probabilities a reality.

If you happened to be one of the lucky ones who managed to snag a box of joy in Europe, tell us about your experience. And if you happen to have pictures, even better.

I bet the Real 360 launch will be when PS3 is released, at that time I bet MS will have millions of units to sell everywhere. At least, i hope that's the case...

My story is starts way back in september ..or maybe further back..in july actually.
one day i realised I wanted a psp....and realising they werent out yet i preordered one for the 14th of september.
along came september the 14th and went into gamestation and paid for my psp....while there I saw they were taking pre-orders for xbox360 so I paid my 20 quid.
for the past two weeks I have been waiting impatiently because and then i get a phone call on monday from gamestation telling me microsoft notified them they werent getting enough and that i was too far down on the list to get mine on 2DEC......
so..i was deflated...still...atleast i wasnt anticipating it anymore...so i forgot all about it untill yesterday when they phoned me and said...'we have 4 core sytems if your intrested'....so i said yea...


so i'll get one in 4 hours...dont think i'll be sleeping till then...im not desperate or anything...im a taxi driver and i finished work like 2 hours ago and i usually stay awake till about 8 nowadays anyway...playing metal gear 2 .

anyway...i went to tesco's at exzactly 12....and i was too late...there were abotu 10 people and they had 7 xbox'x...so...then i went to asda..and the game section was closed...so...then i went back to work...

whats grating on me is that i have to get HD and ...umm..thats it i guess....that makes the total up to 280...same as i was going to pay..but now i havnt got a wireless pad...no headset...no remote...no chrome finish...and what ever else...

i dunno..i feel let down by the system..

im an honest man..i did everythign right...
and yet..the system failed me..

i will be paying more than i should...

i feel truly gutted...

i wish i had a prmium bundle..
