Will there be any PS3's available?

[Peench]

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.

That's pretty obnoxious. Full article HERE.

Well, at least their upfront and honest about sticking it and breaking it off in the arse's of their paying public. In my company employees are banned from participating in work related promotions and events. Wish these stores would adopt that policy.

I remember back when I was working at Funcoland, we could not do that or our store would get in trouble. This was when the PS2 launched and so me and the other funcoland employees went and waited outside target to get ours.

Interesting how things change. It's no longer about the customers...
