When we first discussed the European retailer HMV's plan to allow PS3 pre-orders so long as you also promised to buy a PSP, there were mixed feelings. These feelings ranged from bad to worse. In fact, so negative was the public outcry, HMV was forced to scrap the deal altogether. Now, they've changed their strategy to 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."The company went on to explain, "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." Which they do. Probably. So, how do you guys feel now? The voice of the public can make a difference!

Just go to Argos.
Historically competitive for new console prices, and as one of the largest buyers in the UK a better bet for early stock - and high stock levels.
