    50,000 UK X360 Units only!!!

    Game down in Chatham, Kent, have a sign on their door saying that only 50,000 X360's will be released across the whole of the UK!

    THis is going to make it harder to get.

    Any news from Hexus on this development yet guys?

    **recalls $50 iBook scenes**

    Probably just trying to create hype and get you to pre-order

    seems unlikely...theyve stated they expect to sell over a million before the end of the year, surely theres no way were only getting 50,000 of them.

    I'd wait for confirmation of this first, i've read so many figures over the last few weeks that i just don't believe anything i read unless its a MS press release.

    Some of the things i've read are
    3m consoles ready for christmas, whether this includes a second batch i'm not sure.

    1.6m consoles ready for day 1 world wide. 1m for the US, 400k to EU & 200k for Japan.(this is the one that seems most probable)

    Seeing as the UK has the 3rd largest console market (behind US+Japan) i cant see MS ignoring this fact.

    Most of the console releases now-a-days tend to be sold out affairs (except Saturn & Xbox),X360 will be no different, its also being released in the busiest part of the year so shortages are going to be the norm, no matter how many units we get. If you don't pre-order you won't get one on release day.

    I think I read in the times that 1 million were being sold straight away.

    Worldwide maybe, but no chance of 1m in the UK on release day.

    i really wouldnt belive this, it just wouldnt be profitable for MS to do this...

    to be honest, i have given up beliving anything i read about them, especially if its a MS press release

    rofl, what rubish.

    They need to sell more than that to get in some profits, and even then they will be still going down hill until game devlopers start making games.

    It's just a rumour to get everyone to rush and buy it.

    How much are games gonna cost for this thing? Are you gonna buy one? Can i network it with my PC and stream videos and stuff?

    Sounds like a nice bit of kit to me but i dont like huge console game costs... and dont play em much anyway.

    Seeing as I'm going to be a uni student soonish buying a gaming PC won't really be affordable so I may get one of these to fill my gaming needs.

    Games are priced between £45 and £50 at the moment.

    Very likely to go down to around £38 IMO.
