The likeliness of a frenzied (and faked) Xbox 360 shortage in the US has increased greatly now, with a pre-order
Xbox 360 deal going past $10,000 on eBay. The chances of a scared hardcore gamer legitimately bidding above ten
thousand dollars just to get an Xbox 360 at launch are not worth thinking about. So we're leaning towards this auction
being either: a bunch of fake bids mocking a high starting price, or another viral marketing scheme intended to scare
punters into pre-ordering an Xbox 360.
It's impossible to imagine that someone would be stupid enough to pay the equivalent price of a car just to guarantee
an Xbox 360 at launch. If you're still desperate to get an Xbox 360 at launch, then read our 5 step plan for
global domination about why the Xbox 360 shortage
is faked. Basically the plan goes: sit and wait for launch day, then try and find one from a store. In the
meantime, leave your credit card alone!
