EB Employee: "We're Buying All Our PS3s"


Submitted by thankeeka on October 10, 2006 - 9:50am. Exclusive General News

Today, if you haven't heard, PS3 preorders are going on sale at EB/Gamestop stores. However, word on the street is it appears to be a waste of time. With such a shortage of PS3 units being available at launch, that means only a few will get launch systems, and now comes word even then you might not get one, because employees are set to buy them out and make a ton on Ebay.

From the article:

I'm always shocked at how blatantly obnoxious some of those guys can be. When I asked them about Playstation 3s, the manager on duty told me that every store in the chain is getting about four or five each, which means they aren't getting any. I asked him to explain and he said, while literally rubbing his hands together, "They're letting employees buy PS3s, so there won't be any left." I asked if they have to stand in line and he said no, the second we open we'll just buy them up. He did say that they can only buy one each, but I'm guessing most stories have at least five employees smart enough to know how to use Ebay.
