Best Buy witholding Wiis for Black Friday? |
Ó
Black Friday, America's biggest shopping day of the year, is literally just around the corner, with but only a couple of days more to go. Now, usually, it's mostly the females that go ga-ga over this day. But not this year, especially since Sony and Nintendo both just launched their next-gen consoles last weekend. Yup, we're sure expecting a hefty number of males milling about malls that time.But in relation to that event, what seems to be bothering is the news we received that the retail store Best Buy are already sitting on the second batch of Wii shipment. Wait, that's supposed to be good news, right? The thing is, they're reportedly flat out lying to the customers, and are strategically withholding the stocks so that they may sell them in full force, along with accessory and warranty sales ('cause that's where they make the most cash) come Black Friday.
Now, all these, we picked up from Davey, who claims to be a former employee of the store. According to him, that's really the MO of the store. So given his experience as an employee there, he sure knows how they do their deeds inside. But his confirmation that there actually are Wiis already from the second shipment came from a friend who happens to be an employee.
He narrates, "He graciously and honestly told me that he just pulled 30 Wiis off the truck, but Best Buy was intentionally holding them for the add and for Black Friday."
Hmm, that's really sneaky. And while some may say it's just downright unethical, business is business. And we can't really expect them to maintain their moral ground, especially if it's profit they're after in the first place.

Microsoft just lunch their system last weekend? Interesting...
It should say Sony and Nintendo, not Sony and Microsoft.
A year ago to day XBOX 360 came out where were you this pays year? lol j/k
Local Best Buy and Future Shop stores have admitted to me via a phone call a few days ago that they will be selling a second SMALLER amount of Wii consoles on friday and that they also already had them in. Future Shop refused to give the quantity of stock. BTW, Future Shop is owned by Best Buy for those that do not know it or of Future Shop itself.
"Now, usually, it's mostly the females that go ga-ga over this day. But not this year, especially since Sony and Microsoft both just launched their next-gen consoles last weekend."
Im pretty damn sure that Microsoft didn't just release it.. in fact, today is its one year birthday! YAY FOR XBOX 360! :)
Oh yea and fix it pleeeez :) lol

They only pre-fill for preorder that didn't get their system in hand that had been cut in half last week launch. So I'm going to Best Buy on Black Friday @ 4am!
