'suspect' how?

You're saying that Microsoft 'only' make 1.2 million Xboxes for launch, but are selling a load of them on eBay?

That's a terrible conspiracy theory.

Nah, more like just buying up a number of the ones that get posted there for auction

Why would Microsoft be buying the 360's back? *confused*

And please don't mention the 'Frag Dolls' in my presence, or I might start to rant, and foam at the mouth, before falling over backwards.

The point would be to bid some up to ludicrous prices on eBay, because that ehn generates headlines on evening news and news website thereby increasing the buzz of "insane demand that just can't be satiated". Those headlines that ran earlier this week and the end of last week in the mainstream media were great marketing whether it was genuine or manufactured, and probably more effective than any tv spot. ;)

And as far as the Frag Dolls, oh I know the rage - they drive my wife, in many ways a more hard core gamer than I, absolutely nuts. We haven't bought a single Ubisoft game since they started that...
