Xbox 360

So Microsoft released their console this past Tuesday. Big fat hairy deal. Or so I thought. In order to increase the “demand” and create a big buzz surrounding the release they decided to limit the amount of consoles they would actually sell, so there would be a huge demand and low supply.

Well it worked. But interestingly enough, Microsoft is seamingly losing on a lot of profits because of this move. And looking at ebay auctions like this it makes me wish I had stood 20 hours in line to buy one just so I could resell on ebay.
