Availability?
Gates: Our availability was just great.

Ballmer: It's pretty good. We knew we were going to be short.

and then Ballmer goes on to explain even more about their being short.

great=/=short

unless maybe you've got tons of cash.

i'll admit that i have a 360 and paid more than $399.

i'll also admit that i think it's a great machine.

but come on, guys. either somebody screwed up in terms of production or you purposely shorted the market to create this frenzy.

but it worked. as i said, i've got mine.
