Sony Plans Deposit Scheme for PS3 in UK?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the pointy-hair-just-getting-pointier dept.

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."

    Why hasn't Zonk added his personal bash at Sony to the summary? Is he ill? Has Sony had him replaced by an android double? Something isn't right here.

    Thanks for taking one for the team fella!

    The rest of the gaming world will buy PS3s just like they did with the PS2 and when can all come over and laugh at your overpriced GameCube with a pointer bolted on.

    Any bets on how long the hardcore Nintendo fans will be able to keep up the "I don't care about the shitty Wii graphics" attitude?

    Nintendo fanboy: "Eveybody look how 'innovative' this game is because you swing the pointer!"
    Console world: "Uh, yeah..."

    Well, sure, if you like toy-consoles for little children, by any means buy a Y.

    Sooo...you didn't bother to know what the launch price of the PS2 was in Europe six years ago...

    Better check before you run your mouth off again...
