You must not be human, or at least not a geek human, if you are unaware of the supply problems that Microsoft and the thirsty gaming public is having regarding the new Xbox 360. If you read blogs, you couldn't have missed the billions of blog posts and news articles since November 22nd from desperate US gamers. Since then, I believe the 360 has been just released in Europe and (I think) Asia with the same supply concerns. Not surprisingly, the supply problems seem to be widespread.
This morning, I read yet another post that complains about these issues. Having read a few too many, I don't really care anymore.
For all the gamers complaining about supply, I think you should suck it up and get over it. So you might not get your new Xbox in the next couple of weeks. Heaven forbid, you might not even get it for Christmas. Perhaps, and surely life is not this cruel, you might not get it until late January or February. If you didn't notice, the sarcasm is dripping very rapidly.
How about all these complainers come and live in Australia. The scheduled release date in Australia is March 2nd. Did you get that? It's a cool three and a half months after the US release. Given that supply problems are expected here just the same as everywhere else, most people here probably won't get their new console until May or June.
Still feel like complaining?
