GAME Stores Group explains further its PS3 breakfast launch |
Ó
Earlier today, we learned that European retailer GAME Stores Group Ltd. will no longer proceed with the planned midnight event at its Oxford Street store when the PlayStation 3 (PS3) launches on March 23. In lieu of this, the chain's marketing director Anna Marcario mentioned that a breakfast launch will be held instead for their patrons. The official cited police concerns for fans and shoppers in the said decision. Of course, this is just a matter of a few hours, but some fans don't seem too eager with the move. That's why Macario is now further explaining the course of action GAME Stores took. According to her, they consulted with the local police and it was the police who suggested that it would be best to cancel the midnight event.
The store will be opened at 9 a.m. for all consumers, while the first 150 people who pre-ordered will be treated to a little extra: bacon butties, pastries, coffee, and Sony goodie bags. The store will be welcoming these early birds at 7 a.m. sharp. Anna Marcario then commented,
The customer reaction to the arrival of the Sony PlayStation 3 really has been nothing short of phenomenal. With a huge range of titles available for launch and having so much more functionality than any other games console, our customers canÂ’t wait to get their hands on this incredible machine.
Another retailer HMV also announced that while its Oxford Street store will no longer hold a midnight event, its other 50 stores will commence with the original plan. Likewise, PS3 launch flagship store Virgin Megastores will push through with its scheduled midnight launch.

I wish sony gave me a goodie bag and breakfest
Whast is the point in not having one store open at midnight, but then having others open, it makes no sense. Problems faced will be the same elsewhere
ps3 owns
Where do they get their information? I own both, and PS3, is NOT more functional than an Xbox. There's NO multitasking on a PS3 at all. I love my PS3, but they shouldn't put out false information. This is completely false. You can't listen to music and play a game. You can't access the XMB from a game at all, except to quit the game. You can't background download. You can't chat from your friends list and play a game. You can't text message while in game. You can't do voice chat while in a game. You can't do squat, when your in a game.
Yet.....
Bacon Butties for the Win!!!!
