On Wed, 1 Nov 2000 18:25:52 -0500, "Pete LeBlond" <gt2239b@prism.gatech.edu> has been reported to have said: || So Sony is putting out an additional 100,000 units a week. My question is, || where are they going? At Best Buy when I asked when their additional || shipments were coming in, the guy laughed at me. As a matter of fact, he || yelled across the store to his friend to tell him I asked so they could || laugh at me together. He said they were expecting one more shipment before || Christmas and he didn't know when it was coming in. On || electronicsboutique.com they said that they were optimistic to fill their || preorders by mid-december. So where are all these damn things going every || week? Well, Sony is distributing the systems based on whoever sells the most accessories. The stores that sell the most accessories get more systems. Apparently this is taking priority even over preorders. Anwyay, 100k/week isn't that much...it sounds like a lot...but...it's not that much. Osman -- Replace the z with an s when replying.
