"If anyone wants to buy Playstation 2's off the shelf... All over the country."

Special Reserve are going to hate me for this.

Tesco have announced that they have a VERY large supply of PS2's, which will be availible in their larger stores.

True, it isn't fair. But the unfortable truth is, life isn't fair. Think how much worse it would be if life WAS fair and all those who have pre-ordered machines and havn't got them, havn't got them becuase they didn't deserve them.

Take comfort in the unfairness of the world.

Regards,

doesn't affect me in anyway, but i dont thikn this is fair to the pre-orderers tey still have to wait, and are obviously more loyal to sony or want a console more.

Supermarket giant Tesco has imported 2,500 PlayStation 2 consoles from a "secret location" in Northern Europe last month, following a five-month operation to secure a consignment of the consoles.
It's not the first time that Tesco has upset Sony by importing its console hardware - the supermarket chain got into trouble for selling imported grey PlayStations previously when UK stocks were low.

Tesco's special purchases spokeswoman, Sue Johnson, said: "Pulling this operation off under Sony's noses, especially as it is so difficult for us to get them, is a major coup. It is unacceptable for brands to raise customers' hopes and then dash them by restricting imports to keep their brand exclusive."

The PS2's are on sale from 20th December at Tesco stores in Watford, Peterborough, Cardiff, Newcastle and Inverness - the first consignment to hit British stores since the console's UK launch in November.

Oh great, the most unfaithful shop to sell a big machine ever and they get to sell them, or maybe not if Sony doesn't like it.

Does anyone fancy going out to buy me one, and then sending it to me??????????????????????????????????????????

I thought not...

I have called a couple of the Tesco branches and they have said that although delivery is expected first thing Wed, they will not be available to Mr Joe Public until 14:00. By then word should have got around and the Q's will be hours long!!!
