My loss is their loss

The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly Well what can I say, it appears that I was one of the many that didn't get the 360 on launch day, which may pan out be a good or bad thing. Let's start with THE GOOD: Console wars that demand the best innovation and technology availible, it's great when the competition is so close that it adds the snooze you lose touch. I didn't pre-order and have a obligation( $ or Trade-in) with an unforfilling store, Can see the inital bugs and hardware issues as an on-looker. Imagine standing in line, getting pneumonia and having a busted unit(Home sick and playing solitare because you traded in your old system, S.O.L.) THE BAD: Possibly not getting my hands on unit until after Christmas. THE UGLY: (Microscope)A corporation that views it's potential customers as specimens. They watch the news and see all the people lining up and camping in front of stores creating all kinds of buzz, which is a great advertisement tool. I ask you this, If Sony and Nintendo launched on the same day as the 360 do you think there would be an issue with supply and demand? Probally Not, Remember all the hype on the last launch? I clearly remember seeing the same thing, people lined up in the cold, paying rediculios prices on ebay only to walk into a store a few days later and buy one off the floor. Well bottom line is I will probally end up with all 3 systems like I alway do and then weigh out which one deserves the bulk of my money(Games,etc.)
