Sony Plans Deposit Scheme for PS3 in UK?

An anonymous reader writes "Sony is reportedly in talks to introduce a new £150 per PS3 deposit scheme across retailers in the UK. The proposed scheme aims to help improve resource allocation as well as reduce the 'eBay phenomenon' which was evident with the 360's launch, deposits were secured from as little as £5 and crafty sellers would sell the console way above its retail price."

I didn't say it wasn't obvious. Which you would know if you paid attention. I've noticed that a lot more people are giving completely irrelevant responses to my comments lately, did digg go down or something? The idiot parade seems to be marching through town. However, it doesn't seem to have been obvious to the prior commenter, because they seemed to think that the launch price was significant to the total units sold. However, since most of the consoles are not sold at launch price, it's only significant to initial uptake. I hope this helps you understand why I made my comment, and dissuades you from talking to me in the future unless you first engage your brain.
