Jack Tretton. Where's my 1,200 dollars.

I don't know about you guys, but BestBuy GameCrazy in my area had plenty to sell After XMAS. So, I'm still waiting for my 1,200 dollars.

Jack Tretton Sony Computer Entertainment America's new president and CEO

  JT: If you can find a PS3 anywhere in North America that's been on shelves for more than five minutes, I'll give you 1,200 bucks for it. I can get any retail buyer on the phone with you and get them to verify that there's not a single retail location in America where there's a PlayStation 3 on the shelf for sale. They've all been sold in a matter of minutes. [Editor's note: This interview took place in early January 2007.]

Irrelevant, there were PS3's sitting on the shelf anywhere I went right after Thanksgiving, not Christmas. And the day after Christmas there were a LOT of PS3s still on the shelf that havent went anywhere.

This guy said possibly the dumbest thing a public relations person could say, with the obligatory of not living up to the statement.

You have a don't problem with dislexia. 

He wast talking to EGM in January, he never made the offer to you. If I offered my son $10 to clean up the yard, and then you showed up and cleaned it up, then why should I pay you? I promised the $10 to my son, but you went and did the job assuming I'd pay you even though no offer was made to you.

The fact that you are actually attempting damage control on Tretton's statement is pretty laughable. :lol:

I'm stated with the Marines out in Hawaii, our Military Exchange stores at the USMC base, Air Force Base AND Pearl Harbor each recieved about 30 consoles at launch and wouldn't allow pre-orders. I literally walked into my exchance store where I work, and there were 6 consoles on the shelf ON THE DAY OF LAUNCH.

Where's my freakin' 1200 bucks, Jack?
