Yeah, The company has been very clear to not guarantee anyone a PS4 if ordered from Saturday morning onwards
Don't know what this guy is doing. If we can't secure more stock, he'll look like a real goose and have some very upset people
If we get more, he'll be all good
Well that's the thing if he promised/guaranteed something he doesn't actually know he'll be able to deliver at this point. That is poor or misguided on his behalf. Especially considering it was the manager who said this, he is directly responsible for the store's rep.
The issue is securing stock, the way everything is looking PS4 (and probably the ONE as well) are going to sell out everywhere. Now Australia isn't being treated like a third world gaming nation and we are getting the console at the same time as everywhere else. But I really doubt that we get much if any extra stock on the account of other bigger markets being more needy.
And as good as EB's relationship with Sony is I doubt they have half the swing that the likes of Gamestop do.
