Give over :rolleyes:

Its like these people who moan when they don't get in on the deals that websites do for short amounts of time, they feel they are owed something because they weren't in the right place at the right time.

Bit different being at a website at the right time than 300 miles away in London.
 
I think it's superb, a great gesture from Sony. Kudos to them. There'll be some smiles this morning, and probably a few good PS3 / TV bundles on ebay! ;)

Hmm, that's all very good but what about all the other gamers who have been waiting for this? Do we not get anything free because we weren’t in London for the launch!? IMO Sony should be giving everyone who buys a PS3 something free. Maybe not a TV but something to make up for the long delay we got stung with!

Its the same sort of thing though, moaning because somebody got something that you didn't. Tough luck.

If you read another post, its something like a draw for the possiblity to win the disc.
Everyone always wants something for nothing tho.

I think its a great idea, it will get more people talking about the PS3s launch, which is probably what Sony were hoping for anyway
 
When i signed up it told me that it would be the first 45,000 to sign up to get one and after there'd been that many signups the offer would end automatically.

I'm not moaning. Don't get me wrong I think it's a good move by Sony, and great PR as everyone will be talking about it. I'm just annoyed because of the way it was worded by Sony on the BBC website...

'Sony said it wanted to thank its customers and in many ways European PlayStation fans deserved that thanks'

Not all the fans though is it? There were people waiting all night a the Trafford Centre but did they get anything free for their patience?
 
LONDON (AFP) - Diehard gamers, some of whom had queued for nearly two days, finally got their hands on brand spanking new Sony Playstation 3 games consoles after its midnight launch in Europe.

Sony and other major retailers had talked up the long-delayed launch, though the console's hefty price tag appeared to have dampened the consumer frenzy that greeted launches of its earlier versions.

In the basement of Virgin Megastore's flagship London outlet, hardcore video game fans who waited in line for more than a day for the midnight launch were rewarded by Sony, which gifted each of the first 125 a new 42-inch Sony TV.

"It feels great, man, especially with the free TV on top," a jubilant Atkah Armah, 28, told AFP from the store, after collecting his PS3.

"We were sitting in the queue for about 50,000 hours, and all of a sudden, some guy came out and said, 'There's a free TV', and then he goes, 'and everyone in the queue's going to get one'.

"That was pretty amazing," Armah said, adding that he was going straight home to start playing his copy of Ridge Racer.

Virgin Megastore said it had booked extra security and free taxis to whisk gamers home and avoid them falling prey to muggers.
