UK wants 360, Microsoft can't keep up

Speaking to GameSpot UK, Xbox UK head Stephen McGill stated that Microsoft is currently "struggling" to meet demand for the Xbox 360 in the United Kingdom. He noted that Microsoft is probably managing demand a little better than other console manufacturers out there (most likely referring to Nintendo's Wii), but that the company is working every week to keep retailers supplied with the various SKUs of Xbox 360. McGill didn't actually say that the system was consistently selling out, but he did note that even finding enough vans to ship Xbox 360s is difficult.

What say you, UK fanboys? Is it hard to find 360s in your neck of the woods?

I noticed a lot of online retailers were out-of-stock on Xbox 360's and almost every retailer in the Clearwater, Florida area. The only place I could find an Elite was Circuit City online. Even Best Buy online was out-of-stock.
