Ahahahaha. It's so hilarious that I didn't think about this.

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.

He said that the stores are supposed to be getting about 50 Wii each. In general he seemed to be dismissing the PS3 and telling me that the Wii was the way to go.
The low shipment amount per store means that the employees get first dibs, and if this is true, then each employee will snag one (if they can even get one to each employee). Therefore, no customers will get one.

This is SAD, Sony. And the only way to stop it is to ship more units, which you can't do because you can't even manufacture the parts for your console in time.
