on which models have the BC, card readers and USB ports removed?
Oh, and, man, its a joke, laugh. Of course you "liked" the Xbox 360 one "better", because you're the audience (the 3rd word in the title).
The games radar guys said they were going to do this.
Take it to the open zone.
Have you ever taken an Economics course?
What has changed here? Price. That is all. The demand, and supply (ignore the supply shortages for the purpose of this conversation) are steady.
That 40% increase is a response to price. Nothing else. All things remain equal in the other areas, you'll see a similar increase in demand.
Its PRICE ELASTICITIY. And, a luxury product like this, it is incredibly sensitive to price.
There shoul...
Its nice to see some level-headed thinking here.
The people who think that GT5 or MGS4 are going to influence the masses are talking with their hardcore-gamer-hats-on.
Sometimes I wonder how many of the members of this board have finished college. Does Price Elasticity mean anything to you people?
Apparently award-winning technology writers disagree with you.
READ THE ARTICLE.
Care to provide some evidence for your statement? This article pretty much tells you you're wrong.
Did you read the article? Do you have access to MSFT's POs?
Microsoft didnt write this article.
The guy is just showing you the big increase in Demand in Nov. & Dec '07. That caused the shortage.
Its a little pathetic really. You guys getting all excited because the PS3 outsells the Xbox 360 for a couple weeks.
When you manage to make up that 10M gap, then maybe you'll have some room to brag.
Ive noticed you trying to be reasoned here on N4G with the mindless hordes. Dont bother. They dont listen to reason or care about reality.
They've got their preferred world-view and they just reject anything that doesnt fit that chosen world-view.

@1.1
Did you read the article? Look at the lead up to 2007. Then Xmass 2007.
They have a 25% jump year over year, that they didnt expect. And, they've said October was very strong.
So, MSFT tells you the situation. This article basically shows the demand jumped proving the point, and you're basically just refusing to believe?
Can you elaborate with some *REASON* or *LOGIC* or *DATA*?
Yes. The Sony Fanboys on N4G have actually started to approve television ads for the PS3.
It is the *present*.
"A recent study on the usage of filesharing applications in several countries shows that between 49 and 83 percent of all Internet traffic is P2P related, with peaks of over 95 percent during the night. Interestingly, the study also shows that about 20 percent of all BitTorrent traffic is encrypted."

The vast majority of people are doing to switch from DVD to Digital Download.
Not DVD to bluray. Thats the same lesson learned with CD to mp3.
Thats the situation. The Pay Digital Download services have already started to explode.
And, have you ever heard of BT & Pirate Bay?
Would you prefer an article from some no-name blog about how the Xbox 720 is going to ship in 2009?
Here ya go:

How about that fine, well researched quality article?
Give it a rest. This site is totally dominated by pro-PS3 zealots. Hey, PSN has a Digital Download service too you know.
Sheesh.
Article after article come along and say "bluray has already lost to Digital Distribution" and the same gaggle of zealots spend there time with their fingers in their ears saying "no no no!".
How about you provide some kind of rational argument instead? Digital Download is *already* a massive part of how people get their media.
People wanted mp3s instead of CD. Why? Price and convenience.
People want On-Demand and Download movies ove...
But the contracts related to Mass Effect were signed with Microsoft before EA purchased them.
Those contracts dont simply disappear pal.
Having a PC that can play videogames has nothing to do with console exclusivity.
The point is that if you buy another *CONSOLE* you'll not be playing these games. PC != Consoles.
Besides, who the f wants to sit in the home-office and play a game on a keyboard/mouse on a desk-chair? Videogames are a whole-family entertainment these days.
Perhaps you dont understand because you're living in your parents home? When you're an adult, you can do whate...

Lost Odyssey is certainly less tedious than not having any RPGs to play _at_all_.
They were, it was gamesradar after all.
