Thats complete crap. I work in GAME and thats not how it works, the consoles that you would have seen were actually left over preorders that get picked up in drips and draps since the midnight launch. We can't sell any to customers who don't have a preorder and when we are asked we are now taking second preorders if that customer is interested. Also... you have to had put a minimum 10 quid deposit down for the original preorder so your 'buy and game and get put down for a preorder for no reason theory) is not true.

Solskjaer, the answer to your question is this: Pre order sales were faked...

You see, many, many people have been saying that they went into a Game or EB store to order a game (for any console), and the guy at the counter signed them up for a GC preorder to. The reason was simply to increase that stores console alotment... meaning there were plenty to go around...

I personally walked into EB in Cov and they had plenty of them. Meanwhile, Gamestation had sold out- just showing the balance in distribution....

Well, when a console sells 10,000 in 2 hours it's usually regarded as good.

Is that good or bad?

Put a price down and you might have a buyer.
