I have yet to receive word on my pre-order and when it'll be in my grubby hands.

As I recall, there are potentially 3 manufactures making the 360, right? Why the shortage then? If Msoft can't give the people what they want, they will find it elsewhere. This is where the whole "global launch" gets on my nerves. In my opinion, the US and Europe should have gotten the launch at a near simultaneous date. Japan, the avid anti-MSoft supporters should have waited a few months before they got the 360. Doing this would have helped to ease the shortage woes we are facing. True, Msoft is picking up support in Japan, but it still pales in comparison to the other markets.
