i don't see Microsoft fanboys jumping on this.Seem like microsoft got some build up of consoles on store selves.
not really, they are just tell the truth and are not big liars like sony who tells everyone exaggerated numbers even tho the facts say otherwise.
agree it is nice to some a company not lying about shipping. but i think the 360s sells are way down since both sony and nintendo entered the console race. probably retailers are cutting the amount they want on store shelves, thats why there are less 360s shipping out
At least, like the others have said, Microsoft took blame and said "Hey, we are not selling as many consoles as we thought we would have, so we are giving a notice that our shipping estimates will be reduced to reflect the current market situation." At least Microsoft is doing something right, for once.
WEll damn MS is getting better and better while sony is dieing a slow painfull death. I just wish the 360 was less a hodge podge of things..
Wow this makes Sony look bad. MS straight out said we are not selling enough to warrant a big shipment. While sony boasts on how many they ship but not how many they sell.

Spam.
These 'free' offers are a joke.
For the few who don't know, sign up at your peril guys.
You get nothing for nothing.
The sting might not come straight away but you can be sure it'll come some time.
I wonder what the people working this call those lists of 'contacts'?
Maybe a list of saps gullible enough to believe in freebies?
A list of easy idiot targets for their next scam?
Buy a bargain, find a cheap outlet, get a good deal - any of that stuff - but don't ever kid yourself that anything comes for free.
Cut out the wishful thinking and wake up.
