LOL @ many.

Raise your hand if you think the word "SALE" must mean that the retailer is losing money overall, or someone paid them to do it!

Raise your hand if you think "SALE" is about the discounted item(s)!

Raise your hand if you think Sony/MS/Nintendo make more money off hardware than software!

Raise your hand if you think games are a low-margin item at the retail level!


...if you raised your hand, or even are remotely unclear on those items, I think you should seriously consider not posting to the sales board, because you are... really misinformed.

The very idea that Sony had any part in this Wal-mart giftcard deal is... ludicrous. I find myself (as usual, on many of these topics), doubting how many of you understand anything about retail, Wal-mart (go look for some books... try: Author, Sam Walton, in the local bookstore, or library, for starts), or occasionally even basic mathematics.

I apologize if anyone is insulted by this post... but some of you are *really* off base, and I figure someone needs to tell you, before you... I dunno, get hit by a bus, in the financial sense... like get an ARM loan for a new home or something.
