Don't know about whats happening over in USA but here in UK all major shops (HMV/Virgin) over last couple of motnhs have cut back on the amount of Xbox games now just stocking new releases
Even dedicated game shops have drastically reduced their Xbox collection including used titles.
Isn't 2007 finally year for official support for Xbox?

Well considering the fact that there have not been any good titles lately, this will continue to happen. Most big titles come out right before the holidays so we still have another month and a half before it picks up again. _________________

Yeah, they have some pretty nice on the 360. I just wish they would make the 360 games for the original xbox too, and games like Halo 3, im really looking forward to, will only be on the 360. Im gonna have to pay 300 for a 360 to play Halo 3.

my futureshop, in canada, ontario has stopped selling them. I think toys r us has them but i am not sure. They are reducing qty thats for sure. Now that the 360 is out they plan to make money from this. But 360 has a defect, overplaying causes disc to melt. I don't know if they've fixed it yet or not. If PS3 comes out defectless, then Sony has won this battle lol. _________________

discs to melt? what planet are you on? No, they were being scratched due to an unbalace on the motor. This problem was fixed within the first two months after launch. PS3 is gonna sell less, or just as much as the 360. Why? because it's so overpriced. I don't know ANYONE willing to lay down 500-600 bucks for system that comes with no games. F00k that. Double the price of a 360, half the sales. That's how I see it.
As far as my games that I buy, it's either wal-mart (yes, mine still has PSOne titles, and THAT's where I got my newest copy of FF&) or EB or the local used games shops. Deals deals deals, ladies. _________________ "That which does not kill you, only makes you stronger."

Plus that usb mod for the 360 (modding without opening or messing with the DVD drive) is great, but you can forget about backing up any games for they incoded them like crazy _________________ The mighty V6 Passat came to chew bubble gum and kick%^* and shes all out of bubble gum!

darn ebgames.com and gamestop.com, they have when you want to search for a game, they have like 200, out of the 900 or whatever xbox games.
And disc to melt, i dont know... If it did melt then the burned material would be in the 360... I dont know if thats true.
