silentandy Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Has anyone else pre-ordered an Xbox 360 from play.com and recieved this message? [ QUOTE ] We have been informed by Microsoft that they have not produced enough Xbox 360 consoles to satisfy the demand in Europe. For this reason we regret to advise you that we are unable to guarantee the delivery of your pre-ordered console before Christmas. We are working closely with our suppliers to ensure all orders are fulfilled as close to launch date as possible. However, if you wish to cancel your pre-order please do so by visiting ‘My Account’ and following the instructions at Play.com. [/ QUOTE ] I've also got one on order from Game, so should I keep the order open for the one on play too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Well mine still says it is coming through between the 1-3 of dec from amazon, but i did place the order on 30 aug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Mick Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 I think you'll find that quite a few people are going to be dissapointed with delivery dates for the 1st batch of the 360.... I did hear that there has been 400k units allocated to the whole of Europe for the first wave. When you think of it that's not a great lot really. It also appears that each Game shop is getting 20 units allocated to each one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentandy Posted October 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 I placed my order on play.com on the 18th August so it's a bit worrying I got this email! Hopefully all will be ok, I preordered with Game the same time. I was just hoping I could have 2 and sell one on ebay before xmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie123 Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 I ordered from play.com on 1st June and I got the email. It's just a general mailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Apparently Microsoft thought they would be clever and do a world wide release on the same day scoffing at those that haven't done it before. Now they are saying they understand why people stagger the releases and there won't be anything like enough machines ready in time for the demand. They have said they are going to have to hire as many jumbos as they can to get the machines to the countries, as put them on a ship as would normally happen just won't be fast enough. If you get one this year I think your going to be very lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondered if you were one of the lucky ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
