Will do, it could be upto a month though, but i'll make a waiting list.
I WOULD get an X-Box, but, I only have 6 pence.

Think about this. Just take a second.
Remember last year, when Microsoft (or analysts, I forget which) stated they were making a loss on each Xbox with the RRP at £159.99? Hmm? Wouldn't logic, therefore, state that these consoles require considerably more than £20 to make? Even direct from the manufacturers? Certainly.
What if there are consoles to be bought though? If so, I sense something nothing short of illegal or dodgy going on. But, who knows? Perhaps there is some wildly obscure reason these come so cheap? Perhaps I'm wrong? I'd like J-42 to provide me with this reason.
Until then, I'll stick with my view that there's no such thing as a free lunch or in this case, a shockingly low priced one.

Wholesalers buy the console from Wherever, they then sell them on to shops, such as GAME, they make say 1000. They only sell 900, they then sell the other consoles to people for cheap prices.
