Regarding the PS3 preorder on BestBuy.com this past weekend?

To Whom It May Concern-

Hello everyone. Sorry but this might be off subject.

Just this past weekend the Playstation 3 console was available for preorder at www.bestbuy.com (for a limited time) Everyone was able to successfully go through their checkout/cart system; obtain a order number, and get a approxiate shipping date. Every thing was set-up to do a preorder for both systems (20 GB and 60 GB) and Best Buy claims it was an "error" or "glitch" in the system. Now it's come down to the conclusion that Best Buy is going to CANCEL all 3000-5000 preorders that were made this past weekend.

We cannot allow them to cancel our orders when they made a mistake posting a online preorder. About a year ago Walmart pulled the same thing with the Xbox 360 but honored everyones preorder (this is a fact). This has caused a big inconvience to all those who preordered their systems now.

This is not meant to boycott Best Buy. It's mainly to prove Best Buy is wrong and should hold up their end of the bargain by honoring ALL preorders that were made on November 4-5.

Lets keep the petition clean and professional. I would like to thank all those people who supported from the beganing of all this fiasco.

Give it up man. No shortcuts, you'll have to wait in line if you want one. :)

It's worth a shot, couldn't hurt. If they had no intentions of selling preorders online. Then why was a link even made?

1. What does this have to do with Buying and Selling? Are you doing either of those?

2. Why did you bump it 2 hours after you posted it especially when you posted it in the middle of the night? :roll:

Theres a bunch of upset people out there at Best Buy for canceling all the preordered Playstation 3's. Majority of the orders were canceled on November 6-7.

As for compensation or should I say "inconvience" Best Buy gave a whopping $10.00 digital coupon to use on a future purchases.

Last year Walmart ran into the same problem, but honored ALL Xbox 360 preorders. Why can't Best Buy? They are two major companies that dominate the retail markets.

I have news for the people who are trying to sell the PS3's on Ebay...From what I'm hearing Ebay, Paypal, and Sony came to a agreement that the systems cannot sell for more than retail price. Peoples Paypals accounts are being froze for 90 days according to the Gamespot PS3 forums. Theres a thread here:

They'll just sell locally anyway.

[wolverinevseveryone]

What Sony should of done was put the same exact price as the average Blu-Ray player run, $999.95. That would probably eliminate all this hype.

wolverine: nope, they want it bad apparently.

AS far as eBay "freezing" accounts right now? If that was the case, NO ONE would be selling the things right now.

There's a thread on this in Modern Gaming so please post your comments there. Yours came first but for some reason you posted it in Buying and Selling.
