Details here....
http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=22524 I love this quote from the article... A Sony spokesperson told GamesIndustry.biz, "This is just one of a number of value added incentives that retailers will be offering to mark the launch of PS3." Adding value? Jeez |

QUOTE Anyone who takes advantage of this offer will get priority over other HMV.co.uk customers for the PlayStation 3. Very decent of them... |

£675?!?! Unnnnnnnbelievable.
I really hope common sense prevails and people ignore the PS3 until it drops to a reasonable price. I appreciate HMV is screwing around here but Sony needs to be taught a lesson IMO. |

What a total rip-off.
You could've bought a PS3 and PSP last December on ebay for less than that, including the postage. Someone get on the blower to Nicky Campbell. EDIT: Holy Fuck, for nearly 700 quid they dare to include Gangs of London. What bastards! |

Just go in and tell them they can't legally force you to buy a psp as well.

I knew Sony had it in for the PS3, and that the media and customers despised it, but I didn't realise retail wanted it to die too.

If you are wanting to preorder a ps3 from HMV they are by saying you can't preorder unless you agree to get a psp as well. In otherwords, go in and say no you aren't getting a psp but you are pre-ordering a ps3. |
