UK Retailer Runs Down Kinect Reserves

Considering Gameplay (and GameStation) is owned by GAME, I wouldn't be too surprised if that was the case.Jack and Calumon said:
I get a kick out of the British. It's hilarious to me that they think hey are so much better than other English speaking people, yet they haven't even mastered their own language! Example: "If you were expecting just stroll into a Game store and buy one of the many Kinect boxes available, you'd got another think coming." Should have read: If you were expecting to just stroll into a game store and buy one of the many Kinect boxes available, you've got another thing coming. Think and thing are not the same thing. I hear ink used repeatedly by Brits in place of ing. Of course You'd is extremely questionable in the first place but is certainly used improperly here. Then there is the complete omission of the word "to" after expecting. Who hires these slackers? More importantly doesn't anyone proof read anything anymore before publishing it? 3 obvious errors in a headline? Come on people...
How cynical, and just what I was thinking. Considering how Microsoft were saying about how many they expect to sell, this shortage of supply feels like its forced.The_root_of_all_evil said:
Yes. It's not an unusual turn of phrases. I'm surprised you haven't heard people say it before.Stabby Joe said:
Thankfully you'll be able to walk into a store and buy one of the many preowned Kinects when people start bringing it back because they don't have enough room or realise the camera doesn't work for anything but Dance Central really.
Also 'another think coming'. Meaning that you'd have to think again if that's what you were thinking of doing on Kinect launch day. It makes perfect sense and is grammatically correct.

u are possibly the most ignorant person ive ever seen on this forum.Gone2bin said:
firstly, what does it matter to u what the UK gets upto.
secondly, the person who started this debate isnt getting paid.
thirdly, he may even not be "British".
fourthly, when he put think, that could be a typo, some of which u would find in your own post.
fifth, just stop being racist, u are using this post to try and discredit the UK in general.
This was my first thought.The_root_of_all_evil said:

You can bugger off with your Anti-British sentiment, especially when you're so bloody wrong it makes the Queen cry.
It's actually a very simple marketing method, similar to how Nintendo did it for the Wii. Mass produced, offered limited supplies, would sound good in the papers, more people hear about it, more people buy itBloodSquirrel said:
I kinda hope it sells well, I kind of hope it doesn't so sales figures for me and not *we've sold out* articles would be appreciated
Hooray for Engrish!mad825 said:
OT: I will be really sad if this succeeds because it looks like such a piece of crap.

that isn't a common phrase.Logan Westbrook said:
It's "another thing coming" as in you make a prediction expecting one thing but another thing actually happens.
your phrase would have to be "another thought coming"
Yeah, it was. Microsoft is likely printing a limited stock to save costs in the early release period. I can't blame them either since no one really knows how this add-on will truly function.Jack and Calumon said:
That said, I'm looking forwards to buying Sonic Free Riders and playing that. I've seen enough of the E3 and other demo videos to want to buy it on launch day.
Sadly Calumon, the Kinect only registers human sized bodies. You can still do voice commands, though.
