Shops begin to stop taking Xbox 360 pre-orders

THE XBOX 360 is selling like wildfire two months before it has even hit shelves, with pre-order fever being high enough to stop retailers from taking any more.

EB Games online store is no longer taking pre-orders, although not all companies seem to have run out of their pre-order allocations just yet and EB Games do advise customers to check back regularly as more stocks may become available, depending on how well the factories in China are at getting overtime in we assume.

Microsoft's Next Big Thing for gaming will hit shelves in the US on November 22nd where it is expected to do as well as the original Xbox, which enjoyed its greatest success in the US.

Us hacks living in Britannia and her neighboring regions shall have to wait until early December to get the console, though. Bah humbug. µ
