I must admit when I preordered mine at my local Gamestati0on on Saturday they said they had almost filled thier first order of 360's,and they'd only had it on preorder since the price was announced last week.

My gamestation has stoped orders on the preminum bundle but are still taking orders on the core package.

I work part time at gamestation, where mine is pre-ordered, so mines guaranteed, We had a big interest in the 360 but not many people rushing to put down a £20 deposit, may have changed in the past day or two though. I will check at the weekend.

Microsoft have not announced anything with regards to allocations to Countries and stores. Therefore, there is NO shortage at the moment. Only when we know the numbers will we know the real situation.

I thought they announced 400,000 units to Europe before Christmas 2005. Plus if retailers are filling thier quota of first batch orders so soon, doesn't that indicate there could be a shortage?
