There's always eBay

If you weren't able to get your hands on an Xbox 360 last weekend and the proximity to the holidays is making you sweat, you can always join the legions of people buying theirs on eBay. Next-Gen.biz reports that 40,000 Xbox 360s have been sold through the online auction forum since the machine's launch in the US on 22 November. That's 10% of all Xbox 360 retail buyers who have made a tidy profit on the scarcity of a piece of electronic kit.

You can, quite literally, buy one for $1,000,000. Well it is buy one get one free. Ahem.

Maybe it's better to wait until stocks come back in.
