The 13,000 Xbox360's Problems Poll (phew!)

I've taken down the poll as the results seem to indicate that indeed the Microsoft figures are correct, and it wreaks havoc on my page loading times. Microsoft are suggesting that the number of "problem" 360's are in the "normal" category for electronic products. The suggestion is 3 to 5 percent of owners are experiencing problems (which given the estimate of between 300,00 and 350,000 consoles at launch, and an average 4% failure rate) would leave 13,000 of you wondering why you pre-ordered a dud.

Game complains of shortages and poor demand

UK videogame retail giants Game, have issued a trading warning, suggesting that poor sales of software for "older platforms" combined with a "extremely limited" supply for PSP and Xbox360 will result in a significant profit drop for the company this year compared with last. Yep I do agree premium content for the old ps2 and xbox is rather sparce on the ground, and unless Santa has something up his sleeve, i'll be re-playing Resident evil 4 and half-life2 on Christmas day.
