New xbox 360 on pre order

[jayjayuk]

Hi all i have pre ordered the new xbox 360 250gb slim from coolshop @179.98

I have spoken to them and they say that apparently microsoft may not have enough stock coming into the country????
so we may not get them???

Does anyone know anything?? as i know when microsoft have new software coming out, its usually at the distrabutors a week before??? so i wonderd if some one had some inside info??

also i was wondering if anyone knows if they can be modded yet??? although buying pre owned games seems cheap enough

any way thanks for any info

I would not have ordered one at this time ! There is a hint that the new console has major over heating issues resulting in failures already, if this is the case then Microsoft are heading down the RROD road all over again.

This can not be modded at this time, and the team behind modding the 360 are currently looking for donations for research into doing so, as there is nothing free in life once these guys make enough money then it will be shared with us eventually, this could be drawn out as this new 360 will extend the life of the console until 2015, they only get a chance to make serious money now & again.
