In order to take care of massive number of Xbox 360 and iPod shipments, the Friday Paypal payments will not be sent this week. All Paypal orders will resume next week.

speaking of xbox 360 shipments... how's it going? Do you guys have a shortage or surplus of xbox 360s? You told me once you receive the first shipment you will know if there will be a shortage or surplus for the 2nd and 3rd shipments as well.

Soooo, will everything go as planned or ahead as planned, or will the 2nd and 3rd shipments have to wait longer than 7-10 days and 2 weeks?

Thanks

We have gotten the first shipment and are working on getting them out to ship, how quick we're able to deliver on the other ones depend on whether or not we receive our expected shipments. Because we haven't committed to ordering thousands of systems, we're not a "high priority" distributor and are provided with systems "as available".

that doesn't make sense.... Don't you have to pay for the systems before they send it out? How are they going to just randomly keep sending you systems?

could you at least let us know how many people are in the 2nd shipment and how many poeple are in the third shipment?

Thanks

It's on credit, after a deposit is put down, the merchandise orders are filled and we are given a certain time to pay it (can range from 10 to 60 days).

Well for my sake I sure hope they get the second shipment out soon!! Alan, I guess that we'll know when we'll be shipping by a change in our order status, and also get an e-mail?? Here's to hoping that I'll get mine sometime a week after launch!!!

Alan said that the first Canadian shipment is looked at differently since it's not from the original set of Xboxes that they are getting. I'm hoping that when he said "the first shipment is taken care of" that he meant the first shipment of US/Canadian Xboxes.

I can't make any logical assumptions since HE SAID THE SHIPMENTS ARE DIFFERENT but he is yet to deny or confirm the availability of the first CANADIAN shipment. He hasn't said anything about it to me since the start of November so I'm beginning to wonder if I'm going to get a 360 before December.

Just get paypal and walk into your Apple Store. I already have my plan plotted out to get a Ipod Nano 4GB for $229 and a free $25 Itunes gift card.

you have to get 6 refs for the paypal. i only had 5. if they would pay like $275 instead of sending me an ipod that would be fine.
