EUK stores waiting on Resistance 2

Retailers across the UK have yet to receive copies of the PlayStation 3 exclusive title Resistance 2, as distributor Entertainment UK struggles to supply stores before Christmas.

GamesIndustry.biz has learnt that EUK customers, Zavvi, WHSmith and Currys.digital are still awaiting their supply of the anticipated first-person shooter, originally released on Friday November 28.

Key Zavvi stores in Brighton, London and Manchester are yet to carry the game, with one staff member explaining: "We seem to be having supply problems at the moment."

A spokesperson from Deloitte, which currently serves as the administrator of EUK and Woolworths, commented: "Since EUK went into administration, the administrators have either met or spoken with the majority of customers and suppliers and constructive talks are ongoing."

The spokesperson further added that the company couldn't confirm when the stores should expect copies to arrive. However, non-EUK stores, such as GAME and HMV, are currently supplied with stock.

Failure to ship a triple-A title could hamper Deloitte's ability to find a potential buyer for the company and it is yet to be seen if EUK will be able to keep up with busy launch schedule in the run up to Christmas.

GamesIndustry.biz has contacted Zavvi, WHSmith and Currys for further comment.

It seem they didn't ship enough copies, the reason Amazon have R2 out of stock. I hope by next week the situation will get better.

@kowenicki

no its just gonna give people "insert fanboy name" a chance to say REsistance 2 sales were bad in week 1 in EU because ____



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

The shop I went to buy the game also said they didn't receive alot of copies of the game. I don't think we can expect big R2 numbers.



@ kowenicki: whatever the reason, this is another "blow" to sony though. A lot of things went wrong lately, or didn't go their way, and now something else gets "f'ed" up...

@zuhyc... why? couldnt you get a copy in that shop then? i.e. was it sold out? there is plenty of supply... please dont start damage limitation before the numbers are even out.

@darth... you were right! and so quick too.

I went to the shop 2 days before the official release (sometimes they already sell their games 2 days early). The guy at the counter said the game came in on friday, but in a limited supply, so it was best for me to pre order. Ofcourse, it could just have been a trick to assure a sale in their shop.

 



Sigh.
