100,000 360 Consoles Coming Today

[englishbob]

100,000. Thats a lot of Core packs!

[NeilMcRae]

sorry but this is the daftest thread ever!

Yes there are more xboxes on the way. Yes they might come on planes. Yes its wise to put down a pre-order if you can, but please, don't give that lame story any credit.

Neil.

pure fact

But it bears the mark of 100% authenticity: "my dad says"

[Gerry Helmet]

actually I heard something similar involving boats being sent over with 360's protected by Van Damme..

and a big cat, Nige's maw told me last night

[angelx]

no gerry, its a beige cat, check you sauces :P

[SubparMario]

Anyone know what kind of volume MS can produce per day?

[PeteBrant]

Given that MS are hoping to have 12million in homes by the end of 2006, the production rate is something around 3,300 per day - Not including spares.

100,000 consoles in one shipment thats rubbish cant be bringing in that amount at once and plus how long would it take to make that lot

[PeteBrant]

plus how long would it take to make that lot

About a month, perhaps less if they are really ramping up production and doing 24 hour runs. But certainly no less than say, 15 days. If you beleive production started in Septmeber, and they went flat out for three months up to launch, and hit around 700,000 units - then they have an absolute peak of 7777 units per 24 hours

[FelixofMars]

To be honest 10,000 would probably cater for people who want them before christmas time.

I hear there are 60,000 core packs and 40,000 premium packs coming in on the transatlantic subway (that's the railroad that is built under the Atlantic Ocean seabed for the idiots that don't know). The train will be leaving the Pentagon at high noon on either Tuesday or Wednesday (yet to be confirmed for the obvious threat of an Al Qaeda attack) and arriving in Dudley within the hour (thanks to the Derodium Crystal power source).

If I could be serious for a moment though, this is all dependent on the XBOX?s first being shipped from China or Hungary via a fleet of Knight Rider cars (which are ironically powered by the XBOX360 themselves - as long as they have been filled with a 360 litres of untreated bullsh!t). The Chinese are keeping quiet though, amist rumours that these America Boxes have been fitted with communist hard drives ? so stick with the core pack if you don?t want to betray your democracy loving country. The Hungarians couldn?t care less, as they currently have the most XBOX360?s in the world and not one citizen who can afford them.



Latest quotes suggest that the next batch of 360s will be available with the second coming of Christ, that?s the word anyway from my mate Gary Glitter who is undeniably in touch with today?s youth.

[Ginger Tosser]

My Amazon order now states delivery estimate 7/8th Dec. Not counting any chickens just yet.

I read a quote from someone at Microsoft saying they will be getting stock to stores on a weekly basis up to Christmas (UK).

[Astra]

there is a rumor going round my brothers work (offices (tech support, buying etc) for currys, pc world etc think its called the dixons group) that their stores will be having more 360's come this week. however nothing officals been said so at the minute it is nothing more than a rumor.
