PS3 EU launch, a few details.

[Maximus]

I have put this in the off-topic section because I would prefer that only members can see this information.

OK, I spoke to my boss today, he said that HMV might call off the pre-orders completely now, Sony have said that they will try to supply us with enough to full-fill 10-15 per store, but there is no guarantee that they will be able to do it.

The numbers that we have seen say the UK should get 300,000 units for the launch window of 3 weeks, and more after that, not all (300,000) will be available on launch night like I had previously reported.

AFAIK Game will be doing pre-orders but they have limited it to 8 for larger stores and only 4 for the smaller ones, basically Sony don't want a repeat of the mess of a launch they had in the US, with some stores not being able to full-fill their pre-orders on launch night, and others having a few spares.

I will keep this thread updated with info as soon as I get it.
