uh whats the point in putting them on ebay AFTER the uk release date?

Surely the money is to be made by selling xboxes BEFORE the release date... ie... imports.

this is true. BUT if some1 hasnt pre ordered, they wont get one.

surely theyl still sell on ebay still?

Even if they dont go on ebay, i can still sell them on at the retail price to people and make money from them.

People are dodgy about buying import ones.

The money is to be made by selling them to desperate parents before xmas.
There are apparently only 300,000 for europe.

Good point, just investing the time and capital I guess.

Any clue as to what they will retail for?

why would you want a box?

Not being funny but it really fcuked me off when people bought these just so they could sell them on. If they everyone had bought one for themself and not bothered trying to be dicks and sell them on then more people who genuinly wanted one and saved up there money or parents who had told their kids they could get one for christmas etc would have one. Just thinking of folk like my g.fs lil bro (who is 12) saved up £170 from his birthday plus money made from doing house work etc then his parents gave him the rest so he could buy one and cos of some greedy fuckin cock he doesnt have one and they are scamming people out of them. Its not right guys its well out of order. Call it supply and demand or all that pish but its still not right.
