Re: A Fool And His Money ...
The shortage is due to the short roll-out time by Microsoft. Usually they are released in Japan first, then about 6 months later it hits the States, then they reckon about 9 months after that it is released in Europe. This time it is being done within a few weeks, so the manufacturers in China are having a hard time of it.
It seems that HMV (and other stores) are having a tough time - the earliest you can expect to get one on the high street is February, as they have been inundated with pre-orders
Heard this on Radio 4 earlier today.
