OMFG, went to see one of my mates who manages GAME in Norwich, and standing their chatting to him and see this pikey bloke hanging around. He`s asking about PS2`s, my mate is like we are out of stock but might be getting some in today. So this guy is really persistant and makes him go through the delivery notes to see whats coming in. My mate tells him that they are expecting 8 ps2`s this morning. So this guy hangs around for a while and the consoles turn up, The guy is like right ill have all of them. My mate is like you serious? He`s like yep, all 8 please.
Pretty obvious what this pikey is going to do with them dont you think? Pisses me off, but obviously you cant deny a sale.

Why dont they put a notice up saying one PS2 per customer. At least that way he would have to get 8 friends to come down and get them which might mean some kid with his heart set on one may actually get it for Xmas

How can you refuse somebody for wanting to buy 8 playstations? What if i wanetd to buy 20 for underpriveledged kids or something? That would be a bit of a stupid rule.

he wasnt tho was he, he didnt ask if it was ok, and give reasons for wanting 8, did he. and as stated above he is selling them on for profit.

its 1, denying people with legitimate want the right to buy the playstations and 2, abusing the system, and taking advantage of people.
so this isnt wrong, but if a drug was available to cure cancer, but a big compnay bought it all for not much, and sold it for millions. thats wrong?

this is only a playsation not a drug for cancer
so what if he is making money, good on him, i'd do exactly the same if i had the money to buy 8.
if some one really wnats one for there kid, they just go in and ask can they reserve it, or ask when the next delivary is and get them then.
and he is only taking advantage of the stupid fucks who buy them for stupid money, when in only a few weeks time they will be on ebay for 80-100quid.
the price there payin now, in jan they will be able to get a ps2 and about 5 games
