HMV have been forced to end their rather ridiculous £625 PS3 bundle that was being sold on their website due to a large number of complaints from across the UK. The £625 bundle would have assured you a PS3 come the launch in March but at the same time you had to purchase a PSP.
Here is a tidbit from their original listing, “
Anyone who takes advantage of this offer will get priority over other HMV.co.uk customers for the Playstation 3.“
Their latest statement however shows they have taken a different stance on the PS3 bundles, they said they would be releaseing the PS3 on a “
first come, first served basis, with priority going to those customers who registered an initial interest to receive PS3 pre-order details once they were confirmed”
For those who have already bought the £625 bundle you should be getting in e-mail in the coming days if this is anything to go by, “
Now that we’ve been able to confirm our level of PS3 stock with Sony, we’re in a position to revise our original online offer. We will therefore be writing imminently to all the customers who have indicated that they wish to make the dual purchase to advise them that they can now pre-order the PS3 console by itself, if they prefer.”
So there you have it, next time one of you big retail companys try to take advantage of us the general consumer you best think again.
