Microsoft Plans Deliberate Xbox 360 Shortage

An anonymous reader writes "To ensure an immediate "sellout" of the Xbox 360 on launch day (therefore getting lots of media buzz about their new console), Microsoft will simply restrict the supply down to a trickle. My favorite part of the article: "In addition to limiting the per-store stock of consoles and having the retailers prepare to prominently note the unit's "sold out" status, Microsoft has allegedly asked Norwegian retailers to sign an agreement that they'll sell out of the consoles on the launch date." Looks like it's not a rumour.

    nice sig. drop the 'of' in 'all of your hatred' break it into the standard three line 5-7-5 syllable form and you have a nice haiku (in the American sense, though maybe not in the strictest sense)
