Still believe the LIES about PS3 pre-orders going well? Then THINK AGAIN. If things are so rosy, how come HMV is giving away a grand of games just to tempt the scum into pre-ordering one?

What's happened here is HMV had a meeting where questions like "S***! What can we do to shift some of these useless things no one wants?" were asked, then someone suggested doing a competition.

No one else had any better ideas, so they did a competition.



Never before has there been a better time to throw a bin through a shop window.

Perhaps you should consolidate all these into one thread?

most ppl know that the ps3 might have record preorders only because they have the most supply (since it's not a world launch). they haven't even sold out of preorders on amazon uk

Yeah, because no company ever offered to give things away. /sarcasm. Its called a sweepstakes, and marketing.. You act like no other business has ever done this. This thread fails.

Whats wrong with a little advertising? I dunno the pre-order situation here but from what you've shown that doesn't warrant the excuse of poor pre-order numbers. Let us wait for the official numbers... Y'know, after it releases.

Yup, Pretty much.

As far as I have heard the pre-orders are coming along nicely, slightly* behind the Wii  in presales.

*slightly = 2/3

this is just what i have heard, so dont quote me on this..

I think the idea is 24 is all of the ones available at launch. There wouldn't be any choices to be made.

I believe it was a last minute decision to release a PAL version of that game so it wont be reasy for launch. They are spared that experience.

very true though if it was getting sold out a company wouldn't need to do this right?
