You would think that a company that was saved by customers rejecting DRM would put those same loyal customers right at the core of their business plans! Once I get my console (if they even deliver it) from GS I shall be buying every single game from Amazon or Tescos going forward!

They'll sell them all anyway so it's a matter of prioritising. Get to your major markets first: US/UK/Probably France etc. We'll get our share but I don't think that there's gonna be any store getting a couple of hundred units unfortunately. Also, I'm not a conspiracy theorist but I wouldn't be at all surprised if the first wave (Of both systems) was deliberately short: You build up a nice level of hysteria; the mainstream media do reports of people running into sores trying to get their machines, adults and kids crying either because they got one or because they didn't. Reports of every unit worldwide selling out instantly etc etc. Build it up as THE killer present to get Christmas 2013. then, just in time for Crimbo '13 there's a massive surge in availability. It may not be fair on customers but it would be a great tactic and, so long as most customers can get their hands on one by Crimbo, everyone's happy (...... well, almost everyone)

Xenji wrote: » They have not said anything to the contrary yet and you ordered before the cut off date, so you should be fine, but if there is a shortage it will affect online customers first, just down to the fact they will not have to deal with disgruntled customers face to face.
