That's the stereotypical Saturn & Media Markt excuse.

At my local Saturn a woman was asking for Brain Training 2 one week after release - answer: not available at the moment, please check again in a few(!) weeks. A month later a man asked for Mario Kart DS and Mario & Luigi - same answer. Both people did not want the games for their kids btw, they wanted them for themselves and were very disappointed.

I told these two people to visit a smaller electronics shop in the same town, where nearly all games for Wii, DS and any other system are avalaible anytime, to get their games the very same day they wanted them.

The local Saturn employees also seemed to realize later than our grandmas that the DS is more successful than the PSP (3:1 user base in Germany according to VG Chartz). It took until a few weeks ago until they doubled the quite small DS shelves and minimized the giant PSP ones.

Although I get the impression that they were not stupid, they were just reluctant...as revenge they put all Imagine Babies and My Horse games on top of the shelves and never ever order Mario Kart.


Most Saturn/Media Markt employees are ignorant idiots, the story largely correlates with my personal experiences. That's why I avoid these shops whenever possible.


Yeah, funny thing is the Wii/ DS section in the mediamarkt I went to is massive. They had like 100 copies of M&S at least, 30 copies of NMH, and all kind of catz and dogz rubbish....so it was just really weird that they had every game possible in plenty of numbers except for TP
