| [SIZE=2]Apparently, the rumors were that the only way chains of shops, e.g. GAME, HMV and all the independent retailers, could get PS3 consoles was by accepting the Value Packs from Sony themselves. Apparently, the Sony guy that goes round the areas game shops told the staff of a local shop that that was the only way shops would be able to get the consoles.
Maybe, it was a rumor the Sony bloke heard at work or something, but it DID come direct from a Sony representative.
It's obviously still only a rumor, however, until the Sony bigwigs themselves release it as fact. Fingers crossed they WON'T release it as fact though, and it will turn out that they are selling the consoles by themselves.
Now if stores decide to do discounts on like the first game or second game half-price or whatever, then that's different.[/SIZE]  |
