I'm all for new technology, but I've been hacked off with Sony of late, as my fellow colleague states 'Evil Sony'. The
PS3 has been on sale now for a couple of weeks...and it still seems they can't shift the damn things. Sony are saying that it's been the best launch for a games console ever! I think the reason for this is that the other big players - Nintendo (Wii) and Microsoft (360) only managed to give retailers a set order amount - which they soon full filled, had these other two had more products available i think it would have been a very different story.
The other day a few mates where coming round for a few beers, and to watch the football. I thought it would be good idea to get a Wii to fill in the gaps (Before and after football), well my search for one of these little treasures seemed fruitless! there were out of stock every where even though they went on general sale in December!! There's even been a website set-up to track in-stock consoles. On my crusade for this exclusive little console I popped into Virgin, asking if they had any in stock, the guy behind the counter said they had sold there entire weeks allocation in 45 mins. They don't tell anyone when they get them in, it's strictly first come first....When I asked if there were any PS3's available he said they had loads in fact they had made a sort of desperate display behind the counter, it was reminiscent of the offers they have at the end of shopping market aisles - when stores want to shift 'hard to sell' stock
