I would put most of the blame on Microsoft. I think they were too ambitious with their launch philosophy. There were far too few units produced, but they were going to release it come hell or highwater just to be "first". The PS3, from everything I've read, is a looong ways away, but Microsoft just had to rush this damn thing. Then you have their silly worldwide release thing which is pointless, unless of course you take into account that they perhaps think some negative feedback on the system's performance may dissuade people in Denmark from buying it. Why so many systems for Japan when everyone and their penis knows that they will sell only a fraction of what they are predicting/hoping? Oh well.

I'm sorry for you guys that wanted one and didn't get one. I'd be bummed too. Hopefully we can hook up soon for some Perfect Dark. Luckily my misery for 7 hours at walmart paid off.

I don't watch a lot of tv really so I never thought I would need one. But my dvr has become invaluable due to that silly little show called "Lost". It's awesome to go back and look for the little details and hints in each show, which are too subtle/numerous to pick out in only one viewing.
