I don't think you take those measures if you're selling as expected." Peter Dille - Senior VP of Marketing, SCEA
Jan 13: http://www.joystiq.com/2007/01/13/deal-or-no-deal-100-off-ps3-by-giving-up-ps2/ EB offers a deal, trade in your PS2, cables, a second controller and a memory card, to get $100 off a PS3, in what people assume is an attempt to actually move PS3 units.
Looks like EB is forced to take "those measures" since the PS3 isn't "selling as expected." ;)
