Sneak has had some “issues” with Amazon’s Xbox 360 order-tracking process. Sneak’s console was due on 8 December right up until 8 December, when it suddenly became due on 23 February. But Sneak’s annoyance is nothing compared with reader Andy Baxter’s ire: “Wanting to be first in the queue, my Amazon order went in first thing on 19 August [the first day of pre-ordering]. And Amazon now tells me it will arrive on 22 February! Is there anyone in the entire country who ordered as early as I did who still has not had their order filled?” It cheers Sneak up no end to hear of others’ misfortune, so drop Sneak a line if you’re even worse off than Baxter.
