Places like GAME & Gamestation have been given a cut-off date of Friday 16th Feb from Sony to GUARANTEE a PS3 unit on the day of release (with a £50 deposit) - Hope it's not going to be shades of PS2
Staff in GAME were pushing people as they were coming into there shops to put a deposit down for the PS3 as a little bird told me that they were on a huge bonus scheme for units pre-ordered & sold. After the 3rd staff person came up to me even before I got time to browse for a new game title I asked for the manager & told him to stop letting the staff pester customers and if they want to order a PS3 they will do it on there own terms & not be pressured, If I wanted to pre-order one I would have done it ages ago and in Gamestation for £20 (I know the people in there)
