Though this still may not answer my question.
I'm not referring to STORE returns, but warranty claims, directly from<>to Microsoft under their extended 3-Year warranty for their specific manufacturing/design fault.
Those are all handled and accounted for directly by Microsoft.
My question is still how they are accounted for.
There is no official comment on this from Microsoft, other than the 1.4 billion reserved for replacement units. ...
Shatner's hair is included & receives the same royalty payment to appear as Shatner.
At one point in the contract discussions, Shatner's Stunt-hair...Last seen with Sean Connery in "Hunt for Red October" was going to be substituted.
A last-minute concession to skip the promotional tour & 2 weeks in Waikiki sealed the deal for them both.
Shatner AND his hair will be in Pain March 19th!
or "Stuffing the Channel" and refers to a practice of shipping excess or extra units to a retailer or distributor.
I don't know enough about how this is being handled by Microsoft and their retail partners to comment specifically. Generally this results in a much larger inventory than can be sold for the retailer & a much higher number of apparent unit sales for the manufacturer.
There is absolutely nothing illegal with this practice.

It's not what console they prefer that matters.
It's being fair, with an open mind and the integrity to reflect a balanced, object view.
A true journalist knows this is their very foundation.

You see, stealing is wrong, but since YOU stole it I can relieve you of the burden of your regret and STILL make sure that it's kept with an adult that can appreciate it.
Don't worry...I'll leave you a bar of Ivory soap to help with that DirtyHairyJoystick.

Also don't forget Lara Croft & Elmo's Exclusive baby pictures!
Hey...aren't you late for a dinner with Galactus?

I have no idea myself.
Oh yeah, almost forgot:
Sony's Doomed...Blu-Ray's Doomed...Microsoft's Doomed...You're Doomed.
I guess there's nothing left to do while waiting for all that unnerving doom
but watch some great movies and play some great games!

Darn pesky doom.
UP FIRST...News from our Memphis affiliates:
The exciting new adventure Elvis based on his real-life, to be released on August 16.
Preorders for "Haze II: Graceland Assault" are available now on iTunes and wherever Elvis videogames are sold.

I'm not asking this to Fan Flames on any side, but because I've not seen a clear or accurate official acknowledgment from Microsoft in PR Statements...when referencing the Extended Warranty...or in Quarterly or Annual reports.
Does anyone know how this relates to the total console sales, as reported shipped to date? (or point me to a valid reference)
My best estimates are based solely on the $1.4 Billion set to address extended repair services per console. According ...
From posting outdated spec. information as current facts to applying one standard to Sony and ignoring that same standard for Microsoft...your lack of credibility invalidates your opinion.
Sony is reported to lay off 8,000 out of 180,500 or 4.4% *
...and this is what you call a Death spiral & "More 1st party PS3 titles will see the axe to save cash." (NO 1st party titles have been reported getting the axe AT ALL)
So if that's a death spiral...
You're an example of what I have serious issues with among current "gamers" who read only reviews without reading between the lines. (Rent it to try - Like it? Buy)
Either you:
Don't own Lair...Never played Lair...Didn't bother to go through the practice runs included with Lair...Or don't really know a thing about Lair beyond reading only critical reviews.
It was even patched to include analog controls & improved targeting...Have you even played i...
. . . Only why Metacrtitic won't END IT?
They claimed they where preventing this type of FanBrat sabotage TWO months ago...by simply not letting any user post a review score before release date.
That's all of one LINE of code:
Check DateNow;Release; IF (DateNow => Release) {HideRateButton;IgnorePost}
(yeah yeah...I'll fix the code in a service-pack update - ;)
Since the release date is clearly displayed & in each titles database record...
...and I would know, cause I donate time at his:
Cult of the Console Recovery Shelter/Wii Missionary Center
I update their Naughty & Nice database & I know who's getting a lump of Atari 2600 ET-Game Rom Chips for Christmahanukwanzika!
But by even this slanted articles numbers, it's claimed to happen to so very very few PS3's I think we'll call it:
"The Black Speck"
.
Remember PS3 owners...even you...YES YOU, have the infinitesimal, teeny-tiny, titty-bitty, really-really, really small chance of being the victim of a "Black Speck" event.
It's looming like a single piece of dust...waiting to wreak final destruction upon you with barely a chance for your P...
I once got a Flowbee as a joke. (Brand-new, at a thrift store for $2.50 labeled "Vacuum cleaner attachments")
I once tried the Flowbee as a joke.
Surprisingly, that dang thing works just like the cheesy ad's say it does!
Still there's no need to taint the likes of a quality, parody inspiring product like a Flobee with such an unfortunate association!
...and I'm pretty sure if in charge, the Flowbee would have trimmed that article, ...
method of comparison makes the less than 1/5 of ONE percent, entire market share of Digital Downloads look pretty laughable.
I mean it's simple: If DVD is Blu-Ray's competition...aren't Digital Downloads in competition with BOTH? (and with a fractional percent of the market!)
So which would you rather have again?
Closing in on 1/5 of a 12 million DVD/BR release
OR
Closing in on 1/5 of one SINGLE percent
? ? ?

Naked pictures.
