Rubiks14 · 31-08-2005, 06:37 PM

do you think will be in each shipment? i'm just wondering to get a vision at where exactly i stand on the 2nd shipment and if they will ship both 1st and 2nd together like some ppl are saying they might do

I think that's a very difficult question to answer at the moment,but hey I could be wrong.

Rubiks14 · 31-08-2005, 06:47 PM

yea i realise that, but i'm just looking for a guess really. just to kinda get an idea because i know some ppl are pretty accurate with guesses but there are some who aren't like me.

At EB Games here in Ontario, they only odered 14 the first shipment, 15 reserves were ordered, and I was the 16th, I'm getting the second shipment but I don't know how many they will send then...

Rubiks14 · 31-08-2005, 07:00 PM

well that is bundle though is that all they had ordered or did they have premium too. i'm just talking like premium.

Romper Stomper · 31-08-2005, 07:17 PM

Yeah that was of premium bundles.

Rubiks14 · 31-08-2005, 07:25 PM

ok...i knew that but do they have any just premiums that are for sell by them selves is what i meant up there. sry if it wasn't that clear

Romper Stomper · 31-08-2005, 07:32 PM

What do you mean premiums?? There is only one kind of 360 if thats what you mean.

Rubiks14 · 31-08-2005, 07:35 PM

i'm talking about just the "xbox 360 premium package" $400(well $500 for canada) no bundle just the console it's self.

MH_prophet · 31-08-2005, 07:35 PM

There's a premium package and a core package.

Romper Stomper · 31-08-2005, 08:14 PM

You cannot buy just the console itself.

redhead · 31-08-2005, 08:18 PM

"premium" is only what the package is called, the normal xbox 360 is in that package with a lot of xtra accessories to keep it company, with (i think) a nice shiney skin for it

Rubiks14 · 31-08-2005, 08:37 PM

wow this didn't turn out like i thought it would

POPO21 · 31-08-2005, 09:04 PM

it sucks you cannot buy the 360 by its self.i might buy the 360 by itself online and a game or 2

There will be any where from 2-5 millions systems shipped by the end of the year. That total is of course world wide. About 70-80% of those will be premium packages, while 20-30% are Core Packages.

I'm sure the USA will see at least 1.5 million units this year. Japan won't get many units, and Europe will get a million or so. Of course, that's going on the asumption that all countries will get the units this year.

To cover pre-orders, I'm going to guess that the USA need to get 500-750 thousand units. You should NOT have any trouble if you've already pre-orderd.

All statements above are not credited, just educated guesses.

Also, after 2 years of working at gamestop, I know how pre-orders work. They may say that their on the second shipment, because they have to. What really happens, is that each store is told that they can take "X" amount of pre-orders by the gamestop corporation. The Corporation get's that number, by taking the number of units microsoft promises by launch day, and then to devy that out to all stores.. Once that number is breached, they are then told to tell people their on the second shipment. However, just because the number reached at some stores, doesn't mean it's going to be at all stores. If one store goes 20 over their pre-order limit, and another store is 20 under, then it evens out.

Also, the number of units microsoft promises by launch is the MINIMAL amount of systems they can sell to the company. So you will be able to find out if they are going to get more units then aniticapated, closer to the launch date.

thank you that answers my question perfectly that is exactly what i wanted a guess...so since i'm like 7th or 8th on the "second shipment" i have a good chance of gettin one on launch?

G4everX · 31-08-2005, 10:40 PM

You'll get yours first day, no questions about it.

If there is still any worry, just remember when Halo 2 came out, and there were Collectors editions in stores for months. I know systems are larger, and harder to produce, but you know what I mean.

Rubiks14 · 31-08-2005, 10:42 PM

yea i know what u mean. thank you g4, b4 you got here i thought this post was just gonna bomb.

G4everX · 31-08-2005, 10:45 PM

Hah, no problem, and yeah, I was confused to how the topic changed so swiftly in this thread. Especially sence the answer to the question that started the thread never arose.

Rubiks14 · 31-08-2005, 10:50 PM

yep.....lol it was about to get retarded. but now it's good

yay
