The PSX2 Review That Wasn't By SKillBot, (DT) October 26, 2000 12:14 PM PT |

Oct.?26, the long awaited release date for the PSX2 in the United States.?I had my 5 month old $10 reservation burning a hole in my pocket, and I woke up early to get in line.? And all I got was a t-shirt from the very polite Sony representative.?Apparently, due to Sony's change in shipments, Software Etc.?was unable to fulfill all the orders they presold.?More than being inconvenient, I'm pretty sure that it's also not legal.?When I made my reservation, I was given a stub that says "Present this stub at the store in which you made your reservation and pay balance due (if any) to receive your product." The excuse I was given was that only reservations paid in full would be delivered, and that they tried to call me a couple times to let me know.?The phone number I gave (ages ago) was no longer active by the time they tried to tell me about this, and there was absolutely no mention of this change on their web site.?Needless to say, I'm not impressed.? I was even less impressed when I talked to the Sony rep.?She said that Sony told retailers not to presell consoles.?And that was after listening to the store manager blame Sony as a response to my bitching for so long.?So, this is all the fault of Software Etc.?I want blood! I want free games! I want the fullest extent of a lawsuit for fraudulent business practices! |
