(RUMOR) - Best Buy Anticipates Small Supply Of Xbox 360s
A retail mole reports that Best Buys are only expecting to get 20 to 50 Xbox 360s each. The mole goes on to say that the 360 kiosks are supposed to be arriving at the mega electronics store starting today and that all stores should have them in place by Nov. 14. The set up will include 23-inch Samsung widescreen HDTVs and the employees are being told to encourage shoppers to check out the new system. The store was taking preorders from RewardZone members only (via postal mail), but the mole says that corporate may have decided to nix even that because of the extraordinarily small number of consoles they are getting per a store. Man, Microsoft really is keeping hold of their stock. I foresee a jolly Christmas riot at some Best Buy in Topeka this year. In totally unrelated news, Best Buy worker bees have just received their copies of Liberty City Stories for the PSP. Wooo-hoooo, something to play while you’re waiting in the enormous line for a non-existent Xbox 360.Source: http://www.kotaku.com/
