EB Games allocates entire pre-order stock of Xbox 360s

Customers find 'SOLD OUT' notice at the company's online store

Visitors to the EB Games online store can no longer pre-order Microsoft's next generation console, as the company announces it has sold out of all allocated pre-order stock.

A notice on the website simply states: "We are currently sold out of our popular Xbox 360 bundles. Check back frequently for more opportunities to pre-order an Xbox 360, Microsoft's next-gen gaming system."

According to US website Gamespot, the chain of EB Games retail stores are echoing the website claim and will no longer take pre-orders for the console at this stage. Interestingly, the website advises customers to check back regularly, and store owners have suggested that further retail units may become available before the end of the year.
