Looks like M$ has EB in their pocket...
Watch them play with EB's chief executive like a puppet :P

Hey Alex Z, I hope they replace yours with an elite, cause you have been waiting so long (plenty of them in stock, cause no one buys them)

They are out of stock because they sold so many over xmas, now grow up and find some real news instead of listening to insider BS stories.

A friend of mine has gone through at least nine XBox 360s, every time one breaks he just takes it back to EB and they give him a new one. If it’s happened that much to him, I can easily see how the value of broken XBox 360s they have in stock can reach ten million.

EB screwed me on my extended warranty and wouldnt honour it even though the error was on their part(the dumbass employee scanned the serial number of the unit i wasw returning as the new one) so im glad to see karma working overtime on the bastards.

As somebody who just sent in their red-ringing Xbox in for repairs this worrying. I hope the $10 million worth of broken consoles are waiting ahead of me in the queue..

EB have dug their own grave, and now need to lye in it as far as I'm concerned.

Offering extended warranties for things that wouldn't be repaired or refunded form the manufacturer is fine,but don't turn around and cry poor when it backfires.

Microsoft are far from blameless for the quality of the 360... But they also didn't provide EB with any special guarentees to back-up EB's warranties.

There’s no chance that the lack of stock is due to selling out the current allocation over christmas deliberately in order to ensure that everything sold after the 2-year Australian anniversary has the updated motherboard and cooling?
