It looks like there will only be 300,000 Xbox 360 for the European launch, and already there are reports that it won’t be enough. Much like the shortage in North America, there will be few consoles per store that will be sold on the day of the launch, as pre-orders are said to be above the total initial launch offering.
The Xbox 360 will launch in Europe on Friday December 2, priced at GBP 209 for the core system or GBP 279 for the hard drive-bundled premium machine.
