I am not lying. I literally went to 4 different stores just to find a spare CONTROLLER for my 360. Turns out 360s have been flying off the shelves due to the Halo 3 release. Anybody who assumes people who wanted Halo 3 already bought a 360, LOL @ you. I expect to see a SERIOUS spike in NPD 360 sales next month.

Bye the way I live in Denver, not podunk town, USA.

Some areas are going to sell out of course, but a lot of areas were well prepared for this. I had no problem picking up my elite and Halo 3 on the day of its release.

I work at Circuit City and we have sold around 8 premiums and 4 elites since Halo's release. We have sold out on cores, and are almost out of stock in terms of premiums. However, there are alot of elites left. I live in the second richest county in America.

once Halo owners start getting bored with it, they'll throw their 360's in the trash.

Wow... There were tons of them at my local Gamestop. Tons of PS3's as well... Also saw someone buy the last Wii they had, which is the first time I've ever seen one on sale anywhere besides the one I've already bought :P

But the BestBuy on Long Island has alot of Xbox 360's and Halo 3's.

There was about 5 premium, 15 elites and like 8 Halo 3 edition.

There was only one PS3, so should I make a topic saying ZOMG TEH PSTRIPLES ARE SOLD OUT IN MY TOWN! ?

Sold out of elites and we have very few premiums where I work, although oddly quite a few Halo edition 360s.

Yeah, I don't know why.

I was looking and I was like what the hell? Especially at the number of Halo 3's, both regular and legendary. As soon as I walked in I sawa huge wall of legendary edition. I was so tempted to open it, take the helmet and run out.

EDIT- Maybe they kept out alot of 360's because they know demand will be high. I should also note that I saw two or three people walking out with an Xbox 360 and Halo 3.

Stop getting so damn defensive. :|

A console selling out at a few stores isn't going to get its own news story.
