This is what they said at Penny Arcade today concerning the XBox. Today's comic is cute too.

When I still had a 360 waiting for me, I wasn't physically shaking with the anticipation of it. Now that it's not really a sure thing my thoughts are dominated by fantasies of its acquisition. The onrushing wall of 360 coverage is creating a kind of pressure against my skull.

We got an email from an employee at a "dedicated games retailer" that might intrigue you, regarding how 360s are being distributed. I'd imagine it's probably store by store, but here you go: they are going to the people who purchased the most accessories, as opposed to the people that got on there first. We've heard it from people going into stores as well, where the person behind the counter - in what I'm going to call an act of kindness, given the situation - suggests that they throw a couple peripherals on the pile to guarantee it. I'm not saying this is what happened to me, I'm just saying that it happens.
