Best Buy had the best shtick tho where if you buy a HD TV thaen you can reserve a PS3 (apparantly when the NEXT shipment comes in). That's pure genius. Getting people to preorder something that they don't have any idea at all when they're gonna get.


Whoever came up with that marketing idea is a genious and probibly got a fat raise for thinking of that.

Especially when there's not even that many good launch games out to boot. there's maybe one or two of them AT BEST. To which if sony does not think of something soon, will find themselves with a lot of problems later on.

My store ended up with exactly the 26 minimum that the ad said we'd have, sold out within an hour. I'm happy to say that one of the jerks that was trying to be first in line ended up being 6th or so. He only bought a system, though, which makes me think he's ebaying it.

We had 1 customer that had already sold his on ebay before he had bought it, but for $2600 not the $6100 that Shino linked to. Still a decent kick-back. I just woulda had to laugh if someone did that and ended up not being able to get the console.

Wow, we had 20 of the 60gigs and 6 of the 20gigs. I thought they were trying to send out more of the most expensive to everyone. Neutral

The Wal-marts here each got 4 PS3s. The college students who got there first got the 4 "chairs." After a few hours they were each offered between $400 and $600 for their chairs. I find it disturbing that people were paying $600 for an opportunity to spend $600 on a PS3. The system doesn't even have any interesting launch titles.
